It looks like the smash blockbuster summer hit Straight Outta Compton film has been inspiring everyone. From those who want to make a “sequel” to other groups who want to put out their own biopics and tell their story.
Most recently, director Marty Thomas has been inspired by the memory of Eazy-E after watching the movie to finish what would have been the uncut street version of his “Real Muthaphuckkin G’s” video. The original MTV video was a ‘softer’ version as he calls it and there are clear differences between the two after watching. The original had more solo scenes from Eazy, Dresta and B.G. Knocc Out in different locations, as well as more of the Sleazy E skit throughout the clip (not to mention embarrassing Dr. Dre pictures) and lowrider scenes. This director’s cut features more shots with the crowd, guns and blunts are shown and it feels more gangsta like the feel of the track.
You can watch the full alternate video above and read what Marty said about it below:
“This is a version of Real Muthaphuckkin G’s Eazy and I started to put together in 1994 but we never got to finish. It was Eazy’s wish that this version go out after the softer MTV version had its run but then he got sick – RIP Eric – and there was no corporate funding anymore to finish the cut. After seeing Straight Outta Compton I realized just how much I missed my friend Eazy -how we all miss Eazy -so I finished this version at my own expense and I’m sure he’s watching as this version finally get’s out there, especially now, in his own voice, not an actor’s. – REAL peace, Marty Thomas”
