A new lawsuit has popped up over an old album-
N.W.A.’s 1988 album “Straight Outta Compton.” R&B
singer Prince Phillip Mitchell says he never gave Dr.
Dre or Universal Pictures to feature his music in the
upcoming movie of the same name.
Mitchell wants $6 million in damages outlined in a
federal suit, “If It Ain’t Ruff” from N.W.A.’s album
samples the 1978 record “A Star In The Ghetto.” The
original sample is credited to the Average White Band,
but Mitchell says he was never credited. Ice Cube, Dr.
Dre, Matt Alvarez, Tomica Woods-Wright, and Will
Packer are all listed as producers of the F. Gary Gray-
directed movie.
