    "Apparently Ice Cube used to be a rapper..." I feel SO OLD lol For the record, Ice Cube is one of the greatest MCs of all time and would easily go on the Mt Rushmore of "golden age" MC's along with Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Chuck D, KRS-One, and a few others if I thought about it a bit more. He was probably the most famous rapper in the world from ~1989 until Tupac became a superstar, and after leaving NWA he releases a string of platinum solo albums throughout the 1990s. This was actually the late 80's, this album dropped in 1988 when tensions between LAPD and certain black communities of Los Angeles were nearing their peak (the actual peak came a few years later after the Rodney King beating and LA riots after the acquittal of the cops). This album was an absolute nuclear bomb for American culture and the real beginning of "gangsta rap" as a mainstream phenomenon. From the perspective of a white suburban kid like me, this (and especially F*CK THA POLICE) was the craziest shit I had ever heard in my life. And I've never seen white people so uncomfortable LOL

    Song came out in 1988. That beat you like is based on a sample the song "Amen, Brother" by The Winstons. It's a very famous drum break often called "The Amen Break." The song is one of the top 3 most sampled songs and tons of early Hip Hop records are based on it. Also, Dr. Dre made the beat and Ice Cube most likely did the writing. When this came out it was ground breaking but a different NWA song is the one that shook up everybody you should listen to "Fuk the Police" by NWA. Nobody had ever put out a record like that.

    I’m a white guy who grew up in rural North Carolina in the ‘80s. At the time I didn’t understand where all this hostility and aggression came from, but after a few years to absorb and consider, I absolutely get it, now. The fact that these young men were willing to step out on a limb to make this music, that they found someone willing to publish it, and the fact that it found a ready audience clammering to buy it, has to be one of the most amazing occurrences in recent history. This is the foundation for an entire genre, and Dre, Ice Cube, Ren, and Yella deserve all the accolades they received from their efforts.

    Boyz N the Hood was their first hit, although it’s credited as being by Eazy. I recommend you check it out along with Fuck the Police and maybe Express Yourself. The movie titled after this song is also worth a watch. Cube’s son plays him and did a really good job with it IMO. Ice Cube’s No Vaseline is easily one of the best diss tracks of all time. I’d say it’s a toss up between that and Tupac’s Hit Em Up, so definitely worth a listen. Also recommend you check out tracks from Dr Dre’s the Chronic and 2001. They were groundbreaking albums that also influenced future artists. The Chronic gave birth to G-funk much as NWA did to gangsta rap.

Funny enough Ice T did a lot of club style hip hop too though. For example if you ever watch the movie Breakin (RIP OZone) he's the rapper on stage during all the breakdance battles.

    I was standing behind them when NWA was formed ...... I have been a Scratch DJ since 1986 and used to get my new hip hop records from the same guy at the Rodium Swap Meet in Gardena. I have been a dj since 1984. Been in hip hop and since then til 2015. I went to Leuzinger High School and was around the OG's from Hoover Crip, Shotgun Crip, and AG ( Arlington Gangsters ) who later became Rollin 60's Crip. I met the REAL Rick Ross ( Freeway Rick ) because of it and saw crack start to takeover everything out here. NWA was not full gangsta rap until Straight Outta Compton hit like a bomb. They had Dre DJing after World Class Wrecking Crew and make some Electro Funk tracks on a collab called NWA and The Posse. I have since met DJ Quik who did the mixtapes ( Cassettes ) for Steve Yano at The Rodium. Dre, MC Ren, and Eazy-E are from Compton and Ice Cube is from South Central L.A. ( Not far from the house in the movie Friday ). Pac is New York and Bay Area before L.A.

    I grew up on this in 1990 maybe a freshman in high school but bought a tape of 100 miles and runnin. They sold singles with explicit on one side and radio edit on other side. Ice Cube soon left and went solo.. Newer movie about their life and his son played him I believe movie was named after this song.

    It was so funny to see your reaction to this! I’ve been listening to N.W.A all my life, still to this day one of my favorites! You said, ”Eazy E was in Bone” I believe that he helped them get together and maybe was Executive Producer. Long live Eazy!

    When I first heard this shit as a 13 yr old white boy from the Netherlands in the early 90s, I was blown away. Not being a native English speaker I just heard all the swearwords and was blown away. Like you, I could feel the truth of the aggression in this song and it changed music forever man. What a great time for hip-hop this was, just can't believe today's hip-hop sank so low when compared to this.

    Yea, I remember this. I'm a kid of the 90s. Was in H.S. or middle school at time, cant remember now. Small town Texas white kid. Even back then our school was about 40% Hispanic, 50% white and maybe 10% black. Generally I would say there was no racism. Everybody got along. Be cool, your cool. When this came out, then the movie, everybody wondered "what the heck is going on in Cali"? Wasn't long until we felt like we were being hunted...

    I was 6 in 1988 and my bro was 13 years older than me. I had a boombox and the Straight Outta Compton cassette. I had no business listening to this album at a young age. It was fun times jamming out as a young kid and taking that boom box and cassette everywhere. I was hip to rap music at a young age and I learned about Fat Boys NWA Mantronix Public Enemy Beastie Boys LL Cool J Rakim EPMD and the list goes on and on. I'm glad I had a older bro to school me on rap music. I basically have been listening to rap since I was born in 82.

    NWA LET EVERYBODY IN THE EASTCOAST know that shit was about to change. They were the og’s of gangster rap. When I heard this I was blown away & I’m a metal head but I grew up in the south Bronx so my knowledge of hip hop goes way back to the late 70’s. NWA & Public Enemy got a lot of respect from the Metal community cause of its grit & realness. In a night of drinking & partying in the streets we would listen to Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath Beastie Boys, NWA, Slayer, Metallica & Public Enemy. Loud & Proud.

    I recommend reacting to the D.O.C. Wrote a lot of the lyrics for NWA and would have been huge, but he was in a car accident, which indirectly ruined his voice. Serious clarity and flow. Portrait of a Masterpiece and Grand Finale (featuring NWA) are two of my favorites.

    NWA set the standard in Hip Hop that is still highly influential. They started Gangsta Rap and they do it better than anyone else. Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, Eazy E, DJ Yella and... for a brief moment Arabian Prince. NWA and their stable were the last artists of the genre that I listened to. They were the best and I still believe no one comes close to them. A Super Nova of brilliance that went out as quickly as it came.

N.W.A, Beastie Boys, Run D.M.C, Eric B and Rakim...the list goes on. Yo! MTV Raps with Fab 5 Freddy (See Rapture w/ Blondie), original Rap beef with LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee...epic. The birth of East Coast vs. West Coast Styles Ice-T / Ice-Cube...Metal/Rap mashups like Aerosmith with Run DMC, Judgement Night Soundtrack...so much to experience. Go down the rabbit hole, we'll be here! Peace! Oh, almost forgot Public Enemy...they were Rage Against the Machine before their heyday.
