STRAIGHT OUTTA SOUTH CENTRAL (Eazy-E & N.W.A Story)

Chapter 18: Tour

1989

Straight Outta Compton blew the fuck up! We're getting in a lot of money and fans have been asking us for our autographs. I mean after N.W.A And The Posse came out we had fans, but that record is way different from Straight Out ta Compton. As for Eazy-Duz- It, that blew up too. There's just one problem: MTV banned our shit from being aired on TV. They won't show it because we "encourage violence" along with other bull shit like that.

We don't encourage violence, all we've been doing is explaining that throughout every interview we've had. Why can't these dumbasses understand that we are only trying to explain the reality of our everyday lives? What we say in our songs is real shit. Nobody should question it.

Anyway, what's happening now is Jerry called us for some meeting about N.W.A, I'm not sure what's going on.

"Okay guys have a seat," Jerry said.

"Why you call us down here Jerry?" Eazy asked.

"I have some good news for all of you. As you know both albums are successfully big hits and you have so many fans all over the country who would go crazy to see you."

"What are you tryin to say man?" Cube asked.

"Gentlemen, and Tamera, I got you guys booked to go on tour."

"What?"

"Oh shit!" I exclaimed.

"You mean tour where you travel around the country performing?" Yella asked.

"Duh."

"Damn," Ren said. "How long will we be gone?"

"7 or 8 months," Jerry answered.

"That's a long time," Eazy said.

"That's a lot of money," I smirked.

"We leave in two weeks so tell your families and start packing," Jerry said. "I will be joining you most of the way to check on you guys. But mostly to make sure you guys don't do something stupid."

"Jerry relax man," I said. "We're always gonna be doing something stupid."

"Thank you Tamera I feel so much better," he smart mouthed. "But anyway I will make sure you guys are well taken care of for every show."

"Thanks man," Eazy said.

"That's all I wanted to tell you. I'll see you guys later." He left.

"Man this is great," I said to Cube as we walked outside to his car. "We're leaving California."

"Yeah I can't wait," he said.

"Performances in almost every state of the country. We're gonna get loads of cash from all it."

"We better."

"You got a problem man?"

"Nah I just got a funny feeling about Jerry. He ain't said anything about our contracts yet."

"I'm sure it's nothing."

"Have everything you need?" My brother Martin asked me.

"Yep," I answered zipping up my duffle bag.

"You gonna miss me?"

"Hell no."

He laughed. "Whatever I know you love us."

"I guess."

"Hey T," my brother Dwayne said. "Your bags are in the car."
