The film opens in 1986, when drug dealer Eric "Eazy-E" Wright escapes a police raid on a crack house. He and Lorenzo "MC Ren" Patterson later meet Andre "Dr. Dre" Young and Antoine "DJ Yella" Carraby, who are playing as the World Class Wreckin' Cru. Dre brings O'Shea "Ice Cube" Jackson to the stage and he performs the song "Gangsta Gangsta". When Dre leaves the club, he is arrested after breaking up a fight involving his brother Tyree. Eric bails him out the next day, and Dre talks to him about investing in a start-up label. They record and release "Boyz-n-the-Hood" with their label Ruthless Records. Music manager Jerry Heller approaches Eazy-E, who accepts his offer to manage the group. |
