[@walterlundy723]

Prior to the rise of NWA, our local skating rink transitioned into a dance and nightclub scene around 10pm- 11pm. That week before we went to the club, We were all at the house rehearsing our dance routines to MC Hammer and Kid 'n Play tracks. Every weekend, it was all about friendly dance battles, and the atmosphere was filled with youthful energy, fun, and creative dancing, dance crews, and your crew wearing matching gear. However, with the emergence of NWA, the dynamics shifted dramatically. Now when we go to the club we all mean mugging each other trying to be hard. Dance battles gave way to fist fights, two crews mean mugging each other escalated to violence, and what was once a lively nightclub turned into a place marked by aggression, fights, shootings, killings, etc. Their influence undeniably played a significant role in transforming our social environment, and the mindset of our youth.

[@newclothes8165]

i think what special ed was trying to say is NWA brought all of this to the mainstream. Before NWA, cats wasnt rapping about drugs, gangs, and all this other stuff. Yeah we had a few but the major rappers were mostly doing ego trippin rap. NWA opened most of us to bloods and crips, drug gang. And from there it took off. We went from being "brothas" to "niggas" to each other. We put down the 'autobiography of Malcolm X" and picked up a gat, or whatever. In no way am I saying NWA created all this.And in no way am I saying NWA meant to do this. It just happend. The public went from liking black nationalist rap to gangsta rap and its been like that since then.

Outside of a few songs NWA glorified street life, drug dealing, gRape, etc... I like some of their songs don't get me wrong, but to act like they're some pioneers of something other than popularizing black ignorance and hate is really disingenuous for anyone that's actually listened to their albums.

Yeah, but what else is TK supposed to do when Vlad keeps pushing that same weirdo narrative, as if TK will wear down and agree. TK is smart, despite Vlad trying to wear him down like some losers try and wear down some poor girl. TK retorts with 'yo, I was actually there and lived it on tour- not you.ya lame'. Anyways, Vlad is promoting the same narrative the people who have paid for his platform want him to push. The problem was never NWA, the problem was always Ice Cube. When Cube stood up to Jerry Heller and left NWA, the same people that up until that point were controlling rap lost control of one of the most- if not the most- talented and charismatic rappers to ever do it. Death Row was the creation of David Kenner & Jimmy Iovine of Interscope Records with a distribution contract with Sony. They freakin' shared offices with Death Row. It was there strategy to out gangsta- and thus be 'the realest'- all other rappers. That's who put the money up to have Crips and Bloods in the office to effect an air of menace. Def not NWA, sheeeat

NWA did talk about police brutality but they also spoke on having sex with underage girls, women abuse, even killed a woman on one of their skits on the Nig**4Life album. Eazy had the 8 ball rolling so public intoxication was another factor amongst other things. What special ed said was accurate but NWA were from a different environment so I was still interested. No one can say special ed is wrong because til this day hip hop is 95% negative and talking positive won't get you to platinum status.
