DR. DRE SHOCKED WHEN AXL ROSE WORE N.W.A. HAT

Veteran rapper DR. DRE realised his former band N.W.A. had made it big when he saw rocker AXL ROSE wearing a hat with the group's logo on it in a GUNS N' ROSES music video. Dre couldn't believe it when he first saw Guns N' Roses 1991 promo for hit song You Could Be Mine - because he and his bandmates were still struggling to make a living and had no idea their music had a white audience. Dre says, "The biggest shock was when we saw Axl Rose in the video with the N.W.A. hat. "We were like, 'What the f**k?' We were still selling records out of our car."

I thought the same thing.  I remember from Dr. Dre's "Behind the Music" episode that NWA was being fucked over by their management company, but still, I would've thought they'd have some money after all the records they'd sold by 1991.

well they lost the main ingredient in 1989 which is of course ICE CUBE,
