Ice Cube is the executive producer of the NWA film his son will be portraying him and the film, Cube explain why Lil Eazy will not be portraying his dad in the movie. In a interview Ice Cube said “”He’s an up-and-coming actor trying to do it,” Cube said in an interview with Colorado radio station KS 107.5, according to AllHipHop, “but we needed somebody who was a little more polished to play Eazy, because he goes through a lot in his life. He goes from selling dope in Compton to fighting for his life in a hospital bed. So we needed to find an actor with a lot of range. And we just couldn’t use just anybody. We gave him a shot, and it just didn’t work out.”
Lil Eazy E said ” “I wish I could have got [the part],” he said. “I don’t think anybody can do it better. It’s what I’ve been doing for the past 10 years of my career. I came out on Hip Hop Honors years ago and performed in front of Cube and Russell Simmons and they told me I was a striking resemblance.”
Even though he is not in the movie Lil Eazy E plan on supporting the film.
