Woman beater this, woman beater that

You are absolutely right. That's exactly my point. What good is it to be so repetitious, continuously mentioning a person's faults that nobody can do anything about? (Years and years later) Too many people need to learn that bringing it to attention over and over, again and again (especially out of jealousy and spite) is absolutely pointless. This post is for those trying to bring this man down out of jealousy and spite. That's who I'm talking to, they know who they are.

Oh yeah, you can keep the affirmative token.

Of course it was an issue with NWA but for whatever reason, left out. Who knows the true reason. Nobody is attacking NWA though. People are only attacking Dr. Dre. If ppl are gonna look at it in such a way their only attacking him, they should wait til only HIS biopic alone comes out to do all that.

I haven't seen or heard anybody place what happened to Dee Barnes on NWA as a group. Everyone puts it on Dre. Though Dre was the only one that got physically abusive with her, its on him alone but, as stated before, it isn't his biopic. Putting it on NWA, maybe they'd be correct in criticizing the the film for leaving it out since the biopic is about them as a whole and not just Dre.

Did you hear about the upcoming book about West Coast Gangsta Rap called, Original Gangstas? They talk about it here: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/new-n-w-biography-original-gangstas-stunning-read-article-1.2768428

Then there's this disturbing tidbit about Dre:

Dr. Dre, real name Andre Young, was a brilliant musician but a nasty, nasty man. At 17, he had his first child, Curtis, whom he didn't acknowledge for decades. Dre was busy seducing 14-year-old Lisa Johnson. Johnson gave birth in 1983, but by the time she was pregnant again, she discovered another women was also carrying Dre's child.

According to Johnson, Dre beat her five times over the course of the last two pregnancies.

Michel’le Toussaint has bravely gone public, often and loudly, with the story of her repeated abuse at the hands of Dre.

Toussaint, who had a son, Marcel, with Dre and later married Suge Knight, says Dre repeatedly beat her and once broke her nose so badly she had to have a nose job. One night he fired a shot that barely missed her.

Then came the public beatings of rapper Tairrie B and television host Dee Barnes.

Tairrie B had signed with Eazy E's label, Ruthless Records. She and Dre got into a vicious fight at a Grammys after-party in 1990. Dre punched her "hard, really" hard in the eye and followed up with a shot to the mouth that sent her sprawling to the ground.

Barnes might have gotten it even worse.

She tells a sanitized version of what actually happened the horrific night in 1991 when Dre savagely beat her at a record-release party in a West Hollywood nightclub.

Dre wasn't happy with a segment about NWA that Barnes hosted on her show "Pump It Up." Instead of a hello, Dre greeted Barnes with a punch to her face so hard that she went down like a sack of potatoes. He then grabbed her by the hair, repeatedly slamming her into a brick wall.

His bodyguard held back the crowd while he kicked her and tried to push her down a flight of stairs. She fled to the bathroom and Dre came after her, beating her more.

"I was thinking, 'he's trying to kill me,'" Barnes recalls.

Dre was hustled out before the cops and an ambulance arrived — and the court gave him a wrist-slap sentence of community service.

While Dre's long, happy marriage to Nicole Threatt has produced two children, Johnson claims he only grudgingly supported his out of wedlock children.

She goes on to say, that in 2004, a badly shaken Dre by an assault he believed Suge Knight had paid for, showed up at Johnson's home at midnight, promising $500,000 to the family of four.

The money never materialized.
