N.W.A. Manager Jerry Heller's Nephew Terry Talks Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre & More Clark's In Malibu

How are you this evening, sir? >> How are you? >> I'm doing well. >> I just wanted to say happy holidays. >> Happy holidays. >> All right. Uh, can I ask you a couple questions if it's possible? >> Sure. >> Okay. All right. So, with the holidays being here and I know it's been a minute, we haven't talked about um the legend that passed away. >> And who's that? >> Um, Jerry Hella. >> Yes. >> And I did an interview with him long ago. >> Okay, cool. What's your name? >> My name is Vladimir. My friends call me Dutch, >> but the fact of the matter is I've met the man. I know who the legend is and what he's done. >> But I wanted to ask a couple questions. Like >> I had some words with him, but I wanted to know if you could tell me what his last words were, >> man. So when he got into the car accident, he was already unconscious. >> Okay. >> So when he was shepherded to the uh or or taken to the hospital, he was already out. But I will tell you and I think TMZ reported this. I did play NWA for him and there was a response like literally he he moved. There was movement and there was something that happened when we started um playing the music. So it was pretty it was pretty touching. So it was my dad, myself, my dad is Jerry's brother and then our cousin their first cousin who's my cousin once removed was their Gary. So it was just us. That's it in the end. >> Dude, that's absolutely beautiful. >> Thank you. That was a great moment. >> Thank you. >> Was there any contact by any chance from Ice Cube after the passing or prior to? >> No. Ice Cube and Jerry haven't spoken in probably decades at that point. So, >> what can you tell me about the NWA beef and Ice Cub's beef? >> Man, come on. We're going back a lot. >> I know. I know. But we're here right now. So, >> it's all documented. But listen, uh >> I want the firsthand perspective. >> I tell you something. Cube said something recently that I thought was really uh cool. I feel like I'm in some kind of Twilight Zone right now. Cube said something recently that was cool. And the first time I heard him say this, I don't know if he was on Drink Champs or one of these other platforms and he said, "Jerry opened up doors for us." And that's what Jerry did. Jerry opened up doors for them. There was no other person on the planet that could have done for them what he did. So he was bold. He was [ __ ] ruthless and he was a G in his own right. And you know, all this talk that Jerry, you know, stole this or [ __ ] them over. I mean, he the guy was never sued. And I just told the other guy at the end of the day, does Ice Cube make more money today when he does a movie or when he did Friday? It's no different. When these guys signed a deal or didn't sign a deal, they were offered a contract and they were nobodyies at the time and they became somebody's and you renegotiated. Jerry never stole anything. Easy never stole anything. Okay, if Easy was alive today, Easy would be a multi-billionaire. He would have gotten into tech. Easy was groundbreaking in what he did as an entrepreneur. He had one of the first P&D deals, which was unheard of back then. Everybody had points deals. He got real money off of his deals. >> So, [ __ ] man. What else could I tell you? >> You can tell me a whole lot, it seems. >> You know what? Hopefully, hopefully at some point in the future, I'm going to sit down with Ice Cube and we're going to we're going to chop it up and we're going to we're going to kind of really set the record straight, right? Cuz at the end of the day, >> Jerry never stole anything. Was Jerry difficult to deal with? Sure. But the ruthless machine was not meant for a guy like Ice Cube to become Ice Cube. It was owned by a rapper. Easy never intended to be a rapper, but he became a rapper. So, how could you be the number one rapper on another rapper's label? That's tough, right? Who's bigger than Jay-Z on Rockefeller? Same concept, right? So, he had he did what he had to do to excel and become what he became. And I'm proud of the guy. The guy did something. And look, he's what, mid-50s? He's still relevant. >> He just gave off the uh trophy for the Dodgers. >> The guy The guy did his thing. >> He's an LA staple still. >> He's an LA staple. >> What about Dre? Have you spoken to Dre? >> I speak to Dre. Oh, very nice. >> Yeah, I've always had a good relationship with Dre. >> Excellent. >> After he left Ruthless, he hired me when I was a music video director to work with him. Dre and I have always had a really uh close relationship, but it wasn't that Ice Cube and I did it. Cube just left when I was still in high school. So for me to I built a relationship with Dre through the years and I knew Dre before easy because Jerry worked with the World Class Wrecking Group. So I knew Dre in the mid80s when I was like a little like I mean I was like 13, right? >> Really? >> 12 13 when I met Dre. >> You were at the genesis of it. The early beginnings of everything. >> Early on I would go to the studio with him. Dre used to play me music and would ask me my opinion all the time. And I thought like, "Oh, Dre must really think I'm cool." But I realized he was so ahead of his time. He realized I was the demographic. >> Yeah. You were setting the tone. >> The kid that lived in the suburbs that was buying the record, you know? So, >> I wouldn't say I set the tone, but I think I I was able to give an unbiased opinion of whether I like something or not. I say to him, "This is amazing or I think this is trash." >> Okay. >> But Dre to me wasn't Dre what we know today. Dre was just a buddy. Dre Dre worked with my uncle and I was a kid and he was young too at the time. >> Yes. Talk to them about what happened last week at Snow House. >> Yeah. What's up with you and Jack? >> Who's Jack? >> Jack. >> Yeah. Jack Dhy. What happened over there? >> I heard this was random. This is random. >> He got pressed BY HIM AT >> WHAT THE HELL? How you getting pressed by teenagers? I would smack the [ __ ] out of >> No, this is Wait, Andre Orloski, you saw happen at the boxing match. What are we doing, guys? I want to go eat. Do you need anything else? >> I don't have beef with Jack. I don't even know the kid. >> Oh, okay. >> Message to Jack. >> Jack, keep making that money. Stop starting fights with people. >> Keep pressing us. So, there's no cameras allowed there, so no one can see it. >> Yo, you raised them, right? >> Jack, press me up. >> Jack, press you. >> Jack, that would never happen. >> Okay, that's what we needed. SH didn't impress me. You think Jack is going to impress me? >> That was hard. >> All right. Nice to meet you.
