you are now about to witness the
strength of Street knowledge these
rappers might have been Straight Outta
Compton but they were known around the
world welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re taking a look at the history of
NWA we came a long way from not giving a
fuck fella tapes out of a trunk to
moving this far up now we got the whole
story hip-hop group NWA was formed by
rapper eazy-e in 1986 in the South
Central Los Angeles City of Compton
California easy as his name and the boys
coming he quickly recruited others to
join him dr. Dre and DJ yella came from
the electro group world class wreckin
cru and Ice Cube originated from the hip
hop group CIA together they were NWA the
group released their first single panic
zone in 1987 on Eazy E’s label ruthless
records that same year the song was
included on the compilation album NWA
and the posse and that album also
featured collaborations with future NWA
member Arabian Prince MC Ren joint NWA
in 1988 that year also saw the release
of their debut Straight Outta Compton
[Music]
though NWA refer to their music as
reality rap the album is considered one
of the original records of gangsta rap
due to its themes and graphic language
Straight Outta Compton was one of the
first albums to ship with a parental
advisory label however the record still
managed to become the group’s
best-selling effort in addition the LP
tackled issues that were facing urban
youth including police brutality racial
profiling and the struggles of the inner
city this was particularly notable in
the song the police which was strongly
criticized for his violent and
controversial lyrics every member of NWA
had a specific role and together they
worked like a well-oiled machine this
efficiency made NWA a tour de force in
the rap game
don’t drop a flame on my behavior editor
me put my techniques
blame it on Ice Cube however the group
lost Ice Cube after a disagreement
regarding royalty payments in December
1989 the next year he dropped his
critically and commercially successful
solo debut NWA’s first post Ice Cube
recording was the title track to 1990s
100 miles and runnin
this song as well as several others on
the EP made reference to the rapper’s
departure and even protect Ice Cube as a
coward this began a feud that lasted
several years in effect Ice Cube
responded by calling out each member of
NWA on the song jackin for beats
later that year coming
are you more taunted mouthing he
continued with the insults on his 1991
follow-up death certificate which
yielded the infamous track no Vaseline
no a Buick and you came for you losing a
young Drake meanwhile NWA dropped for
life in 1991 while the effort contained
blatant distance towards Ice Cube it
also contained extremely sexist lyrics
regardless the record topped the
Billboard 200 chart and was praised for
its production work some critics even
called it the album that ushered in the
G Funk era however her life was NWA’s
last album disputes concerning contracts
and money issues spelled the end for the
group and read a nasty rivalry between
eazy-e and dr. dre who had moved to
Death Row Records the two released
numerous songs that depicted their
hostility for one another until Eazy E’s
death of aids-related complications
on March 26 1995 with the loss of their
friend the former members of NWA
eventually expressed regret for their
past behavior in their music while the
surviving members of the group continued
with their own projects several
compilations came out started these
gangs two hits
you mean to tell me this the bank’s
notable releases included the NWA legacy
Volume one and volume two stories about
an NWA biopic have swirled for years and
a persistent rumor suggested the role of
eazy-e would be played by the rapper’s
real-life son even though they released
only two albums these gangster rappers
influenced a generation their harsh look
at reality brought to light the
struggles and situations faced by many
urban youths and gave a voice to their
anger NWA was fearless and it was this
fearlessness that made them legendary
they may have been Straight Outta
Compton but they will always live in rap
history that’s the way goes in a City of
Compton boy
