N.W.A
N.W.A (an abbreviation of Niggaz Wit Attitudes) was an American hip hop group from Compton, California. It was one of the earliest and most significant popularizers of the gangsta rap and West Coast hip hop subgenres, and is widely considered one of the seminal groups in the history of hip hop music. Active from 1986 to 1991, the rap group endured controversy owing to their music's explicit lyrics that many viewed as being disrespectful of women, as well as its glorification of drugs and crime. The group was subsequently banned from many mainstream American radio stations. In spite of this, the group has sold over 10 million units in the United States alone. The group was also known for their deep hatred of the police system, which sparked much controversy over the years.
The original lineup consisted of Arabian Prince, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and Ice Cube. DJ Yella and MC Ren joined later, with Arabian Prince eventually leaving shortly before the official release of ''Straight Outta Compton'' over royalty disputes, with Ice Cube following suit in December 1989 . Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and MC Ren would later become platinum-selling solo artists in the 1990s. Their debut album ''Straight Outta Compton'' marked the beginning of the new gangsta rap era as the production and social commentary in their lyrics were revolutionary within the genre.〔 ''Rolling Stone'' ranked N.W.A number 83 on their list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".〔("100 Greatest Artists of All Time" ), ''Rolling Stone''.〕 In October 2012, N.W.A were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the first time.〔("Rush, Deep Purple, Public Enemy Nominated for Rock Hall of Fame" ).
