So Dr. Dre apologizes for his wicked ways back in the day? After profiting how many millions of $$$ off of his old schick? If he were truly contrite and remorseful of the lifestyle he now renounces, perhaps he should donate a significant portion of his net worth toward battered women's shelters and other such organizations? And maybe apple should show some good faith and corporate responsibility by kicking in some dough, surely such good PR wouldn't hurt their bottom line. The chances of that happening are slim and none, and slim left the building.

Ha! Until I read this, I had no idea what that movie was about!

Beats co-founder Dr Dre following his apology 'to the women I've hurt'..... Upholding the company name for decades.

Not the same person, he’s learned how to get rich and go under cover.

I hadn't heard this, but I do admire when someone publicly denounces their bad behavior. It helps society to grow.
Sadly, the negative influences such people were responsible for are too often so numerous that an apology is not enough. At the least, a true new walk would be expected (but I can't know if this is the case) and restitution, to the extent possible, is best.
Black men don't witness enough decent behavior to prevent the attraction of gangs.

If someone else had made a vague anti-gay comment thirty years ago Tim Cook would have the person fired immediately. However, since Dr. Dre only abused women and he is black it is okay with Apple.

Compared to Mark Wahlberg, Dr. Dre is a choirboy.

I hope he apologized sincerely, and if so good for him. But the fact is, this is what happens when violent, gangster rappers like Dr. Dre are welcomed as full members to the Establishment of American society. 25 years ago his albums were considered scandalous, far beyond the pale, feared and condemned by the mainstream, on the furthest edge of American pop culture. I know - I owned one of NWA’s albums and felt the need to hide it from my parents.
But less than a generation later, he is now part of America’s new ruling aristocracy, a spokesman for major American companies who without a hint of shame use him to promote their products. But every once in awhile, we are reminded with articles like this why Dr. Dre, and others like him, were shunned by a more prudent, responsible generation.

I guess this means Apple also forgives his use, via initials, of the N-word in the title of the group. Of course, we all knew that OK because blacks can use the word with no regard to PC that constrains the rest of us.

It's a bio pic about a group of young rappers who formed a group named NWA. That's an acronym for "Niggers With Attitude".
Since that is the actual name they chose for themselves, I'm assuming it is OK to use it in general discussion.

But it seems that the movie does glorify that particular era.
