Watch ‘Straight Outta Compton’ Trailer Recut to Ben Folds’ Cover of Dr. Dre Song (Video)

The rocker put out his version of rapper’s “Bitches Ain’t Shit” in 2005

“Straight Outta Compton” just got a significantly less gangster trailer.

YouTube user Kern Saxton recut scenes from the blockbuster biopic to make a 4-minute trailer set to Ben Folds’ cover of Dr. Dre‘s “Bitches Ain’t Shit,” a track from the rapper’s first solo album, “The Chronic.”

The song attacks N.W.A. member Eazy-E for favoring “white bitch” manager Jerry Heller over the other artists in the iconic rap group.

The Universal film, which has grossed over $120 million so far, traces the rise of N.W.A., as well as the fallout between other members including Ice Cube, MC Ren, and DJ Yella. Arabian Prince, considered a founding member of the group, was left out of the drama.

Folds, a singer-songwriter known for his melodic piano-driven rock songs, released a 2005 “Bitches Ain’t Shit” cover, which managed to reach No. 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
