yeah so i said it back when it happened. And i will say it now. NWA forced the musical standards down for rap. Hip Hop & R & B. This is not my opinion it is a historical FACT. Rap,hip-hop and R & B does not have to follow the same musical standards as like.Rock,Country, ect, ect, Because rap artiest are not clever enough to write a song with out Violence, swearing, or threaten other people. They can not live up to the same musical standards as the rest of the Music Industry. Like. Alternative, Rock, Country,ect, ect. Like i said this is not my opinion these are FACTS you can look up. I think it is sad Black people had years on years to master the rap scene. Then a white boy comes along & snatches that $hit. And owns rap like he is a rap god. Yet that white boy gets no props from the black community. Even though he revolutionized rap. Long live Eminem. If any one can make a rap song and live to country, rock, Alternative and other musical standards. It will be Eminem that will do it. Like a said already. The black community is not clever enough or they would of did it already. But i guess rock, Country,ect,ect have to follow those standards because that is white privilege.

The lyrics could have been more specific towards police who abuse their position, rather than the police as a whole, I'll ALWAYS agree with that sentiment.

Sounded like a fake letter the way it was written, I doubt the FBI would write like that.

[@SpideySensei72]

"Amerikkka's Most" is still a certified classic to this day. Going solo from NWA was a power move and one of the best things Cube could have done for himself and his career.

Great musical album. Lots of samples. Memorized most of it at 14-15 years old. Good times!

@@jsanders9975I don’t agree, but it’s hard to argue with that list. I’d swap Marshall and Christopher for Rakim and Cube. That’s tough though. All of them are legends. Black Thought too, he often gets overlooked.

Ice Cube has been one of my favorite artists since I was in 8th grade and got really heavy into hip-hop and rap. It’s really nice to see him finally do a JRE

Ice's Basketball league is like if Mike Tyson came and only had to box 1 round. He'd be the absolute goat of 1 round boxing. Thats how all these older players are gonna shine.

[@cdobrown6475]

This reminds me of the FBI foolishness regarding the 1963 song by the Kingsmen, Louie Louie. " The FBI spent so much time (2 years) and resources on an investigation which was comical and went nowhere because the song was nonsense. It turned out to be a major embarrassment for the FBI.
