The interviews and segments popping up in the media over the last few weeks have given fans of N.W.A. and the movie Straight Outta Compton background behind the group’s official biopic.
The Compton rap quintet’s DJ, DJ Yella recently sat down with Vlad TV and reminisced about “No Vaseline,” the beef track Ice Cube created after leaving the group.
“I thought it was cool,” Yella said when asked about the diss song. “That’s the thing about it. No one really got mad. It was like, ‘Okay, he got us on that one.’ I even told Cube this a couple of months ago. I told him, ‘You got us.’ That’s it.”
DJ Yella also spoke about his relationships with the members of the group and says his fondness for each changed depending on the time.
“Me and Dre was the closest out of the whole thing but everyone you get close with, Ren for a while, Cube for a while, and Eric,” he said. “It just went through different phases [of relationship cycles].”
N.W.A.’s biopic, Straight Outta Compton was released to theaters on August 14 and has already grossed more than $60 million.

I always thought “No Vasoline” was the gayest title for a diss song ever. Now, if Meek Mill came out and says he’s been defeated by Drizzy, then the world will be a better place. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
Ooh little baby! Even Drake wouldn’t agree with you youngsta.
You must be a young niqqa. You sound like one with that dumbass statement coming out your mouth.
Nothing worse than a drake stan

OVOkid loves Vaseline
Notice how I say Drake’s name and all the attention goes towards him and not what the article is actually about. Drake really does rule everything around us. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
Yeah 4 people is a lot of people to determine Drake Rules everything around us. Lol Drake makes music. You get one cd and a couple of tracks every 3yrs. Is that worth giving your life to him? Lol Drake rules your life not people who actually have a life. Good luck kid. Maybe one day you get to meet DRake and tell him how much he affects your everyday life. Good luck Kid. Lmao!
