Someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.
Michel'leI'm grateful. But Dre could not have done it without me. And I could not have done it without them.
Michel'leRap was forbidden with the people who were interviewing us and the shows that I was getting [booked on], and I had kind of crossed over. So Jerry [Heller, who managed N.W.A.] would tell me, 'Do not say you're a rapper, always say you're R&B.'
Michel'leThen instead of introducing Dre as the guy from N.W.A., Jerry Heller would say Dre was my producer! Dre would come to my interviews with me - he'd come to all these places that would never have had the guy from N.W.A. Wasn't it genius?
