There is little reading between the lines with N.W.A., they used excessive profanity and their lyrics revolved around the social struggles of those around them in South Central Los Angeles. If you need examples check out the tracks "Fuck the Police" and "Straight Outta Compton". The album was also praised for its quality production, which was handled by DJ Yella on the turntables and Dr. Dre. "Straight Outta Compton" revolutionized West-coast hip-hop and influenced a generation of rappers from southern California.
"Straight Outta Compton" is an essential album to anyones music collection. The album redefined West-coast and gangster rap and also shifted attention from New York to the West-coast scene. In 1991 the group disbanded after a dispute between Eazy-E and the rest of the group (with the exception of DJ Yella). A series of bitter diss tracks were released between Eazy-E and Dr. Dre but surely ended once Eazy-E passed away due to AIDs related illnesses. Hostilities between the group members came to a halt multiple collaborations between old members of N.W.A. were released.
"Because you my n---a Doc, and Eazy I'm still with you.
Fuck the beef, n---a I miss you, and that's just bein real with you"
