Actually, "Ice Cube" was actually the smart one cuz he saw the okie doke & wind up not signing his contract. He's absolutely right not to sign just to get pennie's on a dollar. So he goes solo & he wind up signing on East West Records. When "Amerika's Most Wanted" album dropped...OMG, that album setted the bar miles high for West Coast hip hop. Although I liked NWA without "Cube" the N@#&@ 4 Life" album wasn't the same. It didn't have that Von Sway. 😎👍😎👍😎👍

[@khingofswordz43]

@@187izm I agree "Cube's" "Lethal Injection" album fell short...Cube throughout his career went thru identity crisis....meaning, during "Amerikkkas Most Wanted" he sounded more East Coast due to the "Bomb Squad" made most of his beats. Then "Kill At Will EP" he was still on the East Coast sound but it was dope. By "Death Certificate" "Cube" join The Nation of Isam so that album was black conscious.i admit I wasn't used to hearing "Cube" speak on black consciousness but now it was crazy dope album. By Lethal Injection album it was sort of confusion album. In one hand it really sounded East Coast. But in the other side he was stepping into the G Funk vibe. Any albums after that was more club radio friendly but still hood....

Arabian Prince peeped it before Cube did He wasn't as famous as the other members, but he made his money got into doing tech things and dj ing overseas

[@wiremukearney2579]

Just saw ice cube last night for the first time fuck he can rap

[@CincyOwnsYou]

Ice cube is by far the greatest ghost writer in rap history. He wrote express yourself, fuck tha police, straight outa compton, gangsta gangsta, and more for N.W.A. He wrote boyz n the hood, and most of Eazy’s album “Eazy Duz It” like “No more ?’s” and more. Obviously he wrote his own music. And he’s written so much more for other artists

[@AlffaGorilla]

Millions listen to their music everyday, can't say they fell off. Of course the ones that are alive are old and have retired long time ago, so they won't see any big spikes in popularity in the future but their status and popularity will always stay the same for a very long time. Absolutely unbeatable group, every member had it's own meaning and own place in the group. RIP to all the ones who didn't make it (in the context of living).

@@IkeBanner-jd6yu you should listen to some of their other songs, it’s mostly about racism, which in turn forced them to be ruthless. I suggest listening to N******* 4 Life.

New subscriber! So I just watched the Straight Outta Compton movie and that movie was a banger and a masterpiece! It's really interesting of how N.W.A. made the popular album and also a song "Straight Outta Compton!" as well as the controversial track "F*** Tha Police" And then why did N.W.A became a downfall for them! Ice Cube doing his own songs and his movies, Dr. Dre went to Death Row Records, and Eazy E staying with his manager Jerry! The saddest part in Straight Outta Compton was when Eazy E died of AIDS! It's interesting to learn about N.W.A. So 10/10 for Straight Outta Compton & also thanks for uploading this as an honor of The 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop!
