How do you define five of today`s most controversial and successful rap artists? Three letters--N.W.A. (aka Niggas With Attitudes). While hip-hop was dominated by New York-based rappers, N.W.A. took a stand for the West Coast, paving the way for a music`s migration. STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON universally established Ice Cube, Eazy-E, M.C. Ren, Dr. Dre and DJ Yella as prime figures in the hip-hop nation, and gave every gangsta with a rhyme a reason to grab the mic.
Straight out of Compton, California, N.W.A. delivered real raw hip-hop without any fear of voicing their true opinions, which is just what they did on "Express Yourself," where they emphasized the theme of keepin` it real. Their motto may as well have been what Ice Cube stated on "Gangsta Gangsta": "life ain`t nothing but b**ches and money." Yet, the group dissed more than the usual suspects--women, various suckas, whack MCs--going so far as to ridicule the "boys in blue," on "F**k Tha Police," a song so controversial that N.W.A.`s record company received complaints from the FBI and various Policeman`s Benevolent Associations.
The hard-driven beats of STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON showcased Dr. Dre and Yella as producers/DJs on the forefront of a movement that has come to be known as "gangsta funk," and took N.W.A. to the top of the rap game.
