Straight Outta Compton: 20 years later

"Yes I'm Jerry Heller, former manager of the notoriously world famous NWA. And 20 years later, its STILL paying me dividends."

 

I will make a mental note to not to regard your future opinions on hip-hop with any form of relevance whatsoever.

 

The are great talents in hip-hop, but far from what NWA did for rap music. It's like comparing Metallica to Black Sabbath.

 

laugh now, cry later was pretty good.... can't wait until the new album drops.

i think sayin he didn't sell out is debatable.

What if it breaks?

 

I heard Ice Cube's father was a professor at a huge university. I read lots of stuff that said Cube didn't exactly live what he rapped about. Same with Dre. They still made great music regardless of how real their upbringing was portrayed.

 

he never said he didn't.

 

There wasn't any group more talked about than NWA when I was growing up.
Man, Dr. Dre, Easy-E, Cube, all on the same team??? Crazy...

I still sort of giggle everytime I go to nwa.com to book a flight.

 

I used to love those St. Ides commercials. Never seen that one.

 

2 pages and no mention of MC Ren??

 

I listen to Ruthless for Life regularly. Great album.

 

Need some help here...

I know that MC Ren is next to Dr. Dre and Yella and that Eazy-E is the one with the gun. But who is that next to Ice Cube?? The D.O.C. (if not him, who?)?? How come I never remember any NWA song that he rapped on?

 

Reasons why Ice Cube didn't sell out"

1. Keeps it G with the triple OG WC! When it comes to street cred, there are only two rappers whose gang affliations are never questioned: WC and Tray Dee. You can hate his movies, but you have to give Cube his cred for not turning his back on his homie WC even though he is rich as **** right now!
