Who is NWA?

          Dr. Dre was one of the most important aspects of NWA's success because Dre was the man behind all of their music. Dre made all of their instrumentals which made their music unique because nobody else thought the same way Dr. Dre did which separated him from other producers. No other producers had Dr. Dre's sounds and creativity, the rappers he collaborated with complemented his beats just as much as Dre's beats complemented their voices.


    Ice Cube one the most viscous rappers of NWA in my opinion. Ice Cube was more of a lyricist and he told stories in his raps much similar to Biggie Smalls. Cube was raw, didn't bite his tongue for no one, not even the police. Cube was fed up with seeing police brutality amongst blacks, specifically NWA. Cube sparked the brainstorm of the song later named "F*ck The Police."
Although was close as brothers with NWA, he left the group due the money. Their manager Jerry Heller neglected Ice Cube and only wanted his talents. Cube wrote songs for Eazy E which Jerry's star player. Jerry did everything for Eazy E including signing him to a legit contract. Eazy was only one making money. Cube felt as though he was being used, all his records that sold millions went all to Eazy E and later on Dr. Dre.

Eazy E was a real life gangsta. He sold drugs, he made enough money to live comfortably even though he was a high drop out. Eazy dropped out of high school in  the 10th grade to pursue his dream of a drug. Eazy E was introduced to this occupation through his own cousin but once Eazy E's cousin was killed, he decided to dedicate his time and money into music.
NWA's music had gotten really popular, really fast and everyone had their hand out but the only one to catch Eazy's attention was Jerry Heller. Eazy wasn't the best rapper in the group but since he invested his money he called the shots. When Eazy E met Jerry, they had a vry interesting conversation. Jerry Found a way to manipulate Eazy into not only allowing him to be their manager but also a high percentage in the money that they are making from their music. Jerry had 20% earnings of their money while Eazy only had 80% which he didn't share with no one.

  4. Overall I love how your article taught me a little more then what I know about "NWA". Why do you believe Ice Cube is the most "vicious rappers" of all time?
