Niggaz With Attitude...

Sipho Ramaru

Niggaz With Attitude is the name that described them best when they were seen as a threat, violent and defying the law. N.W.A is one of the most controversial groups holding it down in the forefront back in

the late 80s and early 90s. The group consisted of Dr. Dre the producer of the crew, Eazy E (The wild one), Ice Cube (The gangsta-gangsta), Mc Ren (The ruthless villain) and DJ Yella who was the DJ.

Niggaz With Attitude are the ones who introduced gangster rap and commercialized it, speaking for the voiceless in the hood. When they first came out, no major record label wanted to sign them and no radio station wanted to play their music because it was believed to be controversial and going against the American government system. Jerry Heller took N.W.A under his wing and managed them. After realizing that no record label would affiliate themself with the crew, he started Ruthless Records with Eazy E in March 3^rd 1987. Their first album was Straight Outta Compton that was recorded and finished in just six weeks. As time went by, N.W.A started blowing up and sold over 3 million copies. Things started falling apart when Ice Cube started being suspicious and questioning the management of the crew about shady cheques. After a short while he left the crew, and then Dr. Dre followed. From then things didn’t go so well and that was the downfall of N.W.A. but this group gave the rise to the Hip-Hop culture. Talking about legends of the game….
