In the original version of this song, Cube name checked N.W.A’s manager Jerry Heller in place of “fella” since “Heller” rhymes “Ready Teller,” a cash machine.
While Cube was adamant Heller was a shady businessman, Eazy E never saw it the light until it was too late. It was’t until 1994 (3 years later) that Eazy E fired Heller for stealing millions from the group.
And Eazy dick is smelling like MC Ren's shit Ice Cube – No Vaseline

Hello? HELLO?! Goddamn, this chick’s like a brick wall!
He’s trying to enlighten her on real world issues and problems, but her only intention is to be pleased by having sex with him, and those intentions overpower her ability to listen to or hear him out on what he’s saying.

Cube didn’t cut his hair until 1991 when he joined Nation of Islam, which bans processed hair. And he still had the curl while recording most of Death Certificate, he mentions it on a few songs (The second skit on Givin’ Up the Nappy Dugout, for example)
