Loved episode 1

I'm on the fence because they incessantly tweeted about it and 90% of the time that means it's a steaming pile

Awesome. It's just an amazing story.

Enjoying it thus far. I'm familiar with Dre's story as NWA was a big part of my youth but really finding the Iovine stuff interesting. I didn't have any idea he was involved in the production side of things for guys such as Bruce so early on. Hopefully they'll start digging more into Dre's personal life and why he beat up all these women.

I used to work for Atlantic Records at Time Warner, so I always love these record industry series/shows. I used to work for Doug Morris, so this past episode was especially interesting to me since it talked about the time he was fired. For a while, I was his personal runner. I had to do some interesting things to say the least. It's such a sleazy industry. It's funny to see how repulsed they were by the Death Row violence. They did plenty of repulsive things on their own.

This show is going to win all the awards. It's amazing how good HBO is at this.

This show is absolutely amazing.
I knew who Jimmy was before this but had no idea the impact he has had on music. Telling Dre to forget shoes and stay in the music field and go for headphones is just staying way ahead of the game.

Note, I am not saying the MTV black chick interviewer deserved to get harassed or anything but you can see why he was mad at the way the interview was done and the way they took it to Cube and spliced in the replies. Bush league. And suing for 10 million? GTFOMajor said:

She got beat and bloodied. If you don't know Dee Barnes, you really should. Big part of hip hop. Pretty much a fluff piece for Dre. It's about time he acknowledged it and showed some remorse. He ignored it for so long.
Another one of Dre's victims: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/surviving-compton-dre-suge-michelle_us_57f67929e4b0c1a524cbbd0f
As for the group split, it produced Cube and Dre's best work. Americas Most Wanted was Cube at his best and #####z4Life probably featured Dre's best production work. Yes, better than The Chronic.

Yeah, dude is a boss on the production and business side. Really impressive. I knew he was a mogul but as I mentioned earlier, didn't realize his scope on the production front. And all those early U2 records. GTFO.

2 other things that I take from that show.
1. Suge is truly a despicable human
2. I could listen to the snoop interview parts on loop

For the most part, it was great. Episode 4 was the one I liked the least, did seem like a commercial. Now I know why some of the critics say it was a bit too long.

I binged this show Tuesday evening with the wife. I only knew Jimmy Iovine from seeing him on the news when Beats sold, and probably wouldn't have recognized him if they hadn't showed that. It was spectacularly done. Episode 4 was the weakest, but I found the few Eminem stories entertaining.

Really liked the first two. Agree that 4 was the weakest.
I felt like 3 was not as good as two, but partly because there was just so much that they tried to cover. It felt less coherent and impactful as the first 2.

Watched the first 2. Great so far.
The dude who owned the night club where Dre started needs his own show. Love that guy's stories.
"#### Tha Police" written in part because NWA loved to paintball
