6. "Took him long enough" In response to Reply # 0
After seeing the movie, I thought there was no way Ice Cube et al get out of this without litigation. His ground for suit are solid. If what he's said is true, it appears he was not "conferred with" regarding the film. But considering these are based on, ahem, "the unwritten memoirs," Heller is going to have a hard time proving his case. It's quite obvious he was waiting to see if the movie made any money, then pitched a fit, threatened to sue, and is hoping Universal will pay him off (since that would be cheaper than going to court). If Universal's smart, that's what they'll do - probably for an undisclosed sum. Heller should then have to donate that money to Paul Giamatti, who gave an amazing performance as Heller.

About 90% of the character (just not the lobster lunch, the dark room forcing Cube to sign a contract, and the being fired by Eazy part) came straight out of that book. Even down to the "Why hasnt anyone sued me if I did anything wrong?"
Dude is probably a scumbag, but he's no more a scumbag than any other similar manager...taking advantage of young music acts is how they make a living.

well if most of it came from his own book then how can he win this?

Lemme get this straight:
He’s so incensed at being portrayed as a shady, greedy scumbag who screwed NWA out of money when they were just kids that he decides to be a shady, greedy scumbag who goes back for seconds to screw NWA out of money when they’re grown men?
Dude should have joined the priesthood with those tactics.
