More quotes from Straight Outta Compton
Question: Why did Suge Knight hate Jerry so much? They didn't even talk to each other at all in the movie.
Question: After Jerry shuts off No Vaseline, MC Ren asks Eazy E "who work for who?" What did he mean by this?
Answer: The song is mostly about how Jerry and Eazy screwed the band over, with Jerry taking the lead. Ren is asking "Do we work for Jerry or does he work for us?"
