Oh my God I have never felt so old in my life. Just remember when you see people in their 50s. This is the shit we were partying into back in the day.
I'm 45 and I perk up everytime I hear this. This is from our Generation. What we came up on. I'm proud of that.
Muthafuccin big FACTS!!!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Yep! I was 12 when this came out!😂😂😂
50 yr old. Always shocked when younger people don't know icons and greats of rap/hip-hop.....but, is good to see the old school still ruling!
It never ceases to crack me up when youngsters don't know Ice Cube started this gangsta shit. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Apparently Ice Cube used to be a rapper..." I feel SO OLD lol
For the record, Ice Cube is one of the greatest MCs of all time and would easily go on the Mt Rushmore of "golden age" MC's along with Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Chuck D, KRS-One, and a few others if I thought about it a bit more. He was probably the most famous rapper in the world from ~1989 until Tupac became a superstar, and after leaving NWA he releases a string of platinum solo albums throughout the 1990s.
This was actually the late 80's, this album dropped in 1988 when tensions between LAPD and certain black communities of Los Angeles were nearing their peak (the actual peak came a few years later after the Rodney King beating and LA riots after the acquittal of the cops). This album was an absolute nuclear bomb for American culture and the real beginning of "gangsta rap" as a mainstream phenomenon.
From the perspective of a white suburban kid like me, this (and especially F*CK THA POLICE) was the craziest shit I had ever heard in my life. And I've never seen white people so uncomfortable LOL
bro that hit me right in the chest! Cube isnt a gangster rapper .. He invented gangster rap
Yeah he killed me with that one
Very well said, hearing NWA blasting from car speakers was an acute reminder of how the streets were changing all over the country, we moved out of the city in the 90s, NWA came out in 1988, the year rap blew up. Public Enemy also dropped It Takes a Nation of millions to Hold Us Back that year.
@@Bluenosegrows and arguably the best diss track with "No vaseline"
@@UMfan21 should I check out no Vaseline?
Imagine when he realizes Ice T was an OG gansta rapper known for making a song called Cop Killer before he became a cop on Law and Order SVU. 😂
Ice T said he made a good TV cop since he knew exactly how real cops acted, like straight gangsters, when he would go audition for the roles. Due to growing up getting gaffled by gangster cops in LA.
Don't forget he was a cop in New Jack City before Law & Order.
Don’t forget he also has a hardcore metal group called Body Count.
@@ajmoore1501 that's why I mentioned cop killer, which is a BC song.
He was never a gangsta rapper. Just spitting game.
That "Ice Cube can rap" comment is funny to us old-timers. After "Friday" came out, we were all like, "Wait. Ice Cube can act?" Yeah, and write screenplays too.
Ice Cube is still a rapper, and he was never just called Ice 🙂
Facts!
Little Man is trippin ...
lol. Word.
Exactly
"Ice Cube can rap?" I'm gonna go yell at squirrels now.
bro gotta be trolling us
Now you see why the ‘Old Heads’ are sick with what Hip Hop and Rap have become.
It’s kind of a shame that lots of the youth that are into today’s hip hop don’t know about the greats like Ice Cube.
“I thought he was just an actor” killed me.
Get that knowledge my peeps!
I bet they don't even know LL & T were rappers first too😂😂
The kid need to learn the roots of hip hop
I'm only 16 and when I mentioned cube to a friend of mine he said "oh, he's a good actor!" And I just looked at him
@@ldybozz bro im 14 and damn near my whole school know ice cube, ice t, and ll cool j was rappers
@@MicSK28 ??? but you said in the video you didn't know Cube was a rapper.
The entire album was groundbreaking brother. They were fighting for our rights to free speech, censorship and standing up to all the corruption in law enforcement...👍👊😎
#RIPEAZYE🙏🪦🕊️
#NWA🐐🐐🐐
#ITSON🔥🔥🔥
Nah, Eazy wasn't a member of Bone Thugs N Harmony, he was the man who signed them and appeared on Foe the Love of Money with them......and yeah when this song came out you knew rap changed forever!!!!
This song came out in 1988. From the mid to late '80s to the mid to late '90s was a very violent time - the likes of which hasn't been seen since. Not just in LA - but, in every city across the US - bodies were dropping all over the place. So, the music often reflected that violence.
It's worse now
@danielpicciotti2473 in specific areas like Chicago but overall it was way worse back then. The mentality was different
@@danielpicciotti2473 You watch too much TV if you believe that shit. My old neighborhood in San Antonio, Tx is quiet now but in the late 80s to early 90s there was always shit happening. Had a couple people I went to school with murdered and one paralyzed in some gangster bullshit.
The rap songs that were made in the late 80s were a type of raps called reality raps where people would talk about what was happening in the hood, this song is a great example of reality raps.
@@danielpicciotti2473 It's not... These day's it may seem that way because everyone has a cell phone.
Everything NWA did was groundbreaking, not just this song. You had to be there, I guess
They paved the way for so much.
I was in LA during the riots. Crazy times.
Dude, when this album came out, it was a nuclear bomb on the scene. It was an 8.0 earthquake. It came out of nowwhere and left an idelible impression on this guy. I'm more surprised they didn't have a longer career as a group. But when you have this much talent, it's a no-brainer they would all break out.
Eazy and Jerry Heller were robbing Ice Cube blind. Cube only made $32,000 from this album despite it going like double platinum in the 80s and 90s.
trying to hide "F** tha Police" from my Police officer Dad...was a big task
@homerthompson416 in the long run, we know who really made out in the deal.
Ice Cube is a PROLIFIC rapper. He’s made some of the best music of the 90’s and early 2000’s.
its crazy , Ice Cube was the man ..movies wayyy secondary
He gonna flip when he finds out Wil Smith used to have a TV show......and rapped. LOL
Ice cube is one of the best rappers all time easily top 10 he’s discography is insane and lyrically underrated
Too 3 on my list
@@derrickpowell2563who are your top two?
N.W.A is one of the main reasons we have the whole "Explicit lyrics" notice on albums today. Suburban mom's thought it was the end of the world when kids listened to this and rallied to make a law to "save the kids" lol
You can thank 2 live crew for the explicit lyrics stickers on Albums and Tapes. Some of that good ole fashion Miami Bass from the bottom.
Zappa
@@almorillo6106FACTS!!! I remember the congressional hearings on it! Crazy times.
2live crew as well
FYI- Easy was NOT a member of Bone Thugs he was President/Founder of Ruthless Records and Bone Thugs was a group he discovered & signed.
Yo! This blew up and never got a stitch of radio play! Yea I know, what’s radio? Think of it as streaming but with someone else picking the tunes. It was all word of mouth and hearing it at parties. Glad you found out!
Song came out in 1988. That beat you like is based on a sample the song "Amen, Brother" by The Winstons. It's a very famous drum break often called "The Amen Break." The song is one of the top 3 most sampled songs and tons of early Hip Hop records are based on it. Also, Dr. Dre made the beat and Ice Cube most likely did the writing. When this came out it was ground breaking but a different NWA song is the one that shook up everybody you should listen to "Fuk the Police" by NWA. Nobody had ever put out a record like that.
the Godfathers of Gansta Rap, without a doubt
Yo Ren- tell em where ya from....
Is that Dr Dre? 😅😂
Oh shoot 😂😂
@IamKing4L 😅 did make me chuckle, all good tho! Check out some Eazy E solo stuff, pretty Gangsta! (EAZY DUZ IT ALBUM)
NWA changed the entire rap scene. No one like them before or since. The goats.😎💪
I’m a white guy who grew up in rural North Carolina in the ‘80s. At the time I didn’t understand where all this hostility and aggression came from, but after a few years to absorb and consider, I absolutely get it, now. The fact that these young men were willing to step out on a limb to make this music, that they found someone willing to publish it, and the fact that it found a ready audience clammering to buy it, has to be one of the most amazing occurrences in recent history. This is the foundation for an entire genre, and Dre, Ice Cube, Ren, and Yella deserve all the accolades they received from their efforts.
Apparently Ice -T was a rapper not just on Law and Order as well…try “Colors”
This song was on their 2nd album which came out in 1988. Their first album N.W.A. and the Posse came out in 1987. The album contained producer Dr. Dre, DJ Yella and The Arabian Prince, Eazy E and Ice Cube who wrote most if not all the lyrics. You've probably heard some of Ice Cubes songs e.g. "It was a Good Day" & "You Know How We Do It" and didn't know it was him.
This was the 3rd album.. 2nd album was Straight Outta Compton with Express yourself and Dopeman. Nwa and the Posse was the first album of nwa.. Eazy had Eazy does it album in which Cube wrote which had Boyz n the Hood and 8-ball..
This album is one of the essential hip hop albums of the late 80s and early 90s and one of the main reasons "Parental Advisory" stickers came out.
This album was earth shattering.
Boyz N the Hood was their first hit, although it’s credited as being by Eazy. I recommend you check it out along with Fuck the Police and maybe Express Yourself. The movie titled after this song is also worth a watch. Cube’s son plays him and did a really good job with it IMO.
Ice Cube’s No Vaseline is easily one of the best diss tracks of all time. I’d say it’s a toss up between that and Tupac’s Hit Em Up, so definitely worth a listen.
Also recommend you check out tracks from Dr Dre’s the Chronic and 2001. They were groundbreaking albums that also influenced future artists. The Chronic gave birth to G-funk much as NWA did to gangsta rap.
Panic Zone was the first.
@@thelastdrive-inscreen2393Panic Zone was the first song I ever heard from them. But Comptons In The House was and still is my favorite of theirs.
THIS
This entire album is straight fire.
Every Suburban white kid I knew knew every single word from beginning to end on this album it absolutely changed everything. Even MC Hammer came out with gangster rap album after NWA
Pumps and a Bump!
Dre made one appearance in the song/video. introducing Eazy E. RIP
Yeah, I was in HS when this album hit. I remember everyone and I mean everyone was listening to it. The jocks, hippies, metalheads and whatever other cliques there were. It definitely shattered boundaries. It was also everyone's introduction to Ice Cube and he was a fan favorite.
'Apparently, Ice Cube was a rapper...'. That line both cracked me up and made me feel old as ish. Thank you for your channel and for your nice review. Keep it up. Check out Philly rapper Schoolly D. These guys, especially Ice T, were listening to his stuff. GO BIRDS 💚🦅🏈
Go Birds🦅🦅🦅
He doesn't know any better he just mad young 😅
@@broncoscountry7667exactly 😂😂😂
@broncoscountry7667 Oh, I know that, believe me, lol. I have a 21 year old in her senior year of college, so I get it. He said it in such a sweet & surprised voice that it made this 53 year old lady crack up. You take care 🙂
This album was running through the straight white ‘burbs it was so good. We went from LL Cool J talking about how hard he raps to these real-life G’s and their hard smashing singles. What NWA did to rap is what Nirvana did to rock. They both changed the mother fucking game.
That's a great comparison.
Cube was a good and smart kid who made amazing music about the world he grew up in, but he was never a gangster according to my friend who is close with Cube's parents. Now Eazy-E was a G from Kelly Park Compton Crips.
These guys and Public Enemy.
I've been saying that for 30 years. Nirvana killed corny rock, and NWA killed corny rap with reality. Killed the 80's and brought us the 90's grunge/homeboy.
This record gave birth to Gangsta Rap. Top 10 all time hip hop album.
I think this was the best album in the genre, but it was created by Ice T rapping 6 In the Morning back in 86 back when Dre was in the World Class Wreckin Cru doing R&B sounding shit (check Turn of the Lights) and Ice Cube was biting the Beastie Boys style in his old group CIA (check My Posse). Funny enough Ice T did a lot of club style hip hop too though. For example if you ever watch the movie Breakin (RIP OZone) he's the rapper on stage during all the breakdance battles.
I'm From Oakland Cali and this was the shit when I was 18, and California ain't all sunshine and Rose's some places like Oakland, Compton, watts, Inglewood, Richmond California is rough as hell.
One of the greatest rap albums of all time. So so much talent! And yes, when this came out we all blasted it! ❤ Btw I feel very old now lol. Great reaction.
I was standing behind them when NWA was formed ...... I have been a Scratch DJ since 1986 and used to get my new hip hop records from the same guy at the Rodium Swap Meet in Gardena. I have been a dj since 1984. Been in hip hop and since then til 2015. I went to Leuzinger High School and was around the OG's from Hoover Crip, Shotgun Crip, and AG ( Arlington Gangsters ) who later became Rollin 60's Crip. I met the REAL Rick Ross ( Freeway Rick ) because of it and saw crack start to takeover everything out here. NWA was not full gangsta rap until Straight Outta Compton hit like a bomb. They had Dre DJing after World Class Wrecking Crew and make some Electro Funk tracks on a collab called NWA and The Posse. I have since met DJ Quik who did the mixtapes ( Cassettes ) for Steve Yano at The Rodium. Dre, MC Ren, and Eazy-E are from Compton and Ice Cube is from South Central L.A. ( Not far from the house in the movie Friday ). Pac is New York and Bay Area before L.A.
Just imagine when someone tells him about "No Vaseline"😂
Your in the right decade again. Again like the beasties, this whole album is fire as well. Have fun bud!
NWA Easy E "No more questions"
You nailed it. GROUNDBREAKING!
"Apparently Ice Cube used to be a rapper" 🤣 Welcome to a bigger world! He has 10 solo rap albums. We all discover things at different times, but it is surreal to hear that; Ice Cube has been a rapper my whole life. It hammers home how people are walking the same streets, but living on different planets. Apparently Ice Cube being a rapper became a secret at some point! Is he more famous for his films now? Ice Cube is very famously a rapper, at least to millennials and Gen X.
This was the start of gangsta rap definitely ground breaking album it also has F*** the police on it which was definitely controversial..Dr Dre made the beats , Ice Cube wrote most of the lyrics along with Mc Ren
You have no idea how ground breaking this was. It blew up hip hop and opened people’s eyes to what was going on in Los Angeles. This the story that blew peoples minds.
This entire album was on repeat when I was 17. It was essential to who I became. Saw them live in 1989 with Eazy and Too Short. So damn good.
"Ice Cube can rap?" Son, he wrote ALL the rhymes for NWA. The rap game changed on it's head when this dropped.
I remember where I was when this premiered: Julie's parent's house at 5 a.m. with a bunch of TOHC people. Sean Log was hospitalized because the tune started a fight, and he had 17 earrings torn out. Nice observations; thanks for making me feel really old.
Oh man.... i never thought of ice cube as anything BUT a rapper, being qn actor came about because of his fame as a rapper.
What i always loved about Ice Cube was he was a straight shooter, he said exactly what was on his mind and you knew you didnt mess with him.
This was the greatest parody ever! 😂😂😂😂😂
“Is that Dr. Dre” killed me
Eazy-E's album "Eazy Duz It", required listening
This was out in 88 - 89 and I was 13 /14 and it was one of my favorites! NWA had a lot of moms saying turn that shit off lol
I was 6 in 1988 and my bro was 13 years older than me. I had a boombox and the Straight Outta Compton cassette. I had no business listening to this album at a young age. It was fun times jamming out as a young kid and taking that boom box and cassette everywhere. I was hip to rap music at a young age and I learned about Fat Boys NWA Mantronix Public Enemy Beastie Boys LL Cool J Rakim EPMD and the list goes on and on. I'm glad I had a older bro to school me on rap music. I basically have been listening to rap since I was born in 82.
I remember watching this video on MTV back in the day. It totally blew away. I wanted to listen to more of this
It was so funny to see your reaction to this! I’ve been listening to N.W.A all my life, still to this day one of my favorites! You said, ”Eazy E was in Bone” I believe that he helped them get together and maybe was Executive Producer. Long live Eazy!
"this is wild,this is crazy" bless you - this is also your grandparents!
I grew up on this in 1990 maybe a freshman in high school but bought a tape of 100 miles and runnin. They sold singles with explicit on one side and radio edit on other side. Ice Cube soon left and went solo.. Newer movie about their life and his son played him I believe movie was named after this song.
I'm 42 love seeing you youngster hearing are music
I remember when it came out in '88 I was 13 at the time and I'm from Memphis TN. I was like damn these cats are serious and I don't want no part of Compton 😊
I got this cassette when i was 12, it's iconic. Start to finish it's 🔥
Great reaction man I love this song so much as a Gen Z kid (16)
GEN Z💪😎 we out here #ChasinDreams
Eazy e wasn't in bone thugs and harmony, he was thier boss, he was the one who discovered and signed them. Easy e is a giant, you need to do a little study of him. You'd be surprised.
He wasn't ready 😂
😂😂
I was in the barracks in Marine infantry training in fall 1990 the first time I heard this song. Small town white boy from northern Idaho who only listened to metal until I joined. Been an NWA fan ever since.
Check out Cube's album the Predator, especially It Was a Good Day.
This reminds me of visiting family in Socorro, NM when I was a kid. My older cousin would bump this while we cruised up and down main street
1989 I was going into the military. When this song came out, most of us from the hood was scared and shocked.
He was always Ice Cube....this album shocked the world when it was released in '87. It was untouchable; like no other.
I remember being in 7th or 8th grade and listening to NWA while I played Ninja Gaiden on my Nintendo
I was 10 or 11 when this came out. Definitely was groundbreaking. Pretty much the father’s of gangster rap.
I know every generation must feel this way about the music that influenced them, but I feel that being alive during this time was a true golden age of groundbreaking music. N.W.A, Beastie Boys, Run D.M.C, Eric B and Rakim...the list goes on. Yo! MTV Raps with Fab 5 Freddy (See Rapture w/ Blondie), original Rap beef with LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee...epic. The birth of East Coast vs. West Coast Styles Ice-T / Ice-Cube...Metal/Rap mashups like Aerosmith with Run DMC, Judgement Night Soundtrack...so much to experience. Go down the rabbit hole, we'll be here! Peace! Oh, almost forgot Public Enemy...they were Rage Against the Machine before their heyday.
There was nothing like it when it came out.
Energetic hip-hop continues!
I recommend reacting to the D.O.C. Wrote a lot of the lyrics for NWA and would have been huge, but he was in a car accident, which indirectly ruined his voice.
Serious clarity and flow. Portrait of a Masterpiece and Grand Finale (featuring NWA) are two of my favorites.
The Formula
@@du24pont70 So many great songs. Lend Me An Ear is also a favorite
Cube,Ren,and Doc wrote most of NWA Lyrics..But Cube wrote most of they stuff from Eazy first album to this one..After this album he quit the group
My brother went to the U.S. as an exchange student and brought one back for me down in Australia. It was awesome.
Yea, I remember this. I'm a kid of the 90s. Was in H.S. or middle school at time, cant remember now. Small town Texas white kid. Even back then our school was about 40% Hispanic, 50% white and maybe 10% black. Generally I would say there was no racism. Everybody got along. Be cool, your cool. When this came out, then the movie, everybody wondered "what the heck is going on in Cali"? Wasn't long until we felt like we were being hunted...
I guess you could say that Eazy-E was a part of Bone Thugs N Harmony but he was more of a mentor. Ruthless Records was Eazy-E's label and he signed them as artists under his label.
I was in New York City when this came out. Boom, it was the biggest thing on the streets for everyone. It changed music.
When I first heard this shit as a 13 yr old white boy from the Netherlands in the early 90s, I was blown away. Not being a native English speaker I just heard all the swearwords and was blown away. Like you, I could feel the truth of the aggression in this song and it changed music forever man. What a great time for hip-hop this was, just can't believe today's hip-hop sank so low when compared to this.
When I first heard this song I was high school. We played it to death. Their other song “Express yourself” was so good too. Loved the beat and the lyrics.
Funny thing is for people of my age it's the otherway around we like damn ice cube can act too 😅
Someone please teach this kid about the Bloods and Crips lol.
Dude! He wrote 80% of NWA's lyrics.
Know your history.
NWA +Easy E, Rollin in my 64!
your mind will be blown son
NWA LET EVERYBODY IN THE EASTCOAST know that shit was about to change. They were the og’s of gangster rap. When I heard this I was blown away & I’m a metal head but I grew up in the south Bronx so my knowledge of hip hop goes way back to the late 70’s. NWA & Public Enemy got a lot of respect from the Metal community cause of its grit & realness. In a night of drinking & partying in the streets we would listen to Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath Beastie Boys, NWA, Slayer, Metallica & Public Enemy. Loud & Proud.
Many people have said if you went back in time and told them Ice Cube would be doing Disney movies and Bill Cosby would be in jail they'd think you were crazy.
Are we done yet LOL..I was 16 in 1986 and used to see NWA at the Rodium Swapmeet every Saturday. Look up, on youtube Dr Dre Rodium Swapmeet mixed tapes. They made these tapes before they were big. Ice Cube, Eazy and Dre were regular cool guys! Im 53 now and still love this shit...
This album was the first cassette tape I ever owned. 1990. I was in 6th grade. I still bump this album.
i bet you hid it from your parents lol
Hell yeah I did! My grandma would have lost her shit!@@nicebluejay
Nothing makes me feel older than young'uns saying something like "you mean the actor?" Lmao!
Aside from feeling my age, what a fascinating thing to witness!
I love when young folks discover Cube, Latifah and LL started in this game! They're the Truth! Y'all can't mess with us Gen-X!
I brought the cassette in '89 at a record store in Northbrook Court. Played in my car at the tme constantly.
This and 2 Live Crew was blowing my mind is those days
I tell people to check out Crew if they want some mind blowing vulgarity!
Yes my young brother, ice cube was a rapper. This was the music for us old people lol.
Yeah Dr Dre was a part of the group. Cube wrote most of the raps. Also the Movie "Strait Outta Compton" has Ice Cube's son playing the part. I was around when they came out. Crazy times back then when NWA hit.
Love your younger perspective
The group that all modern Rappers aspire to. They are THE OG gangster rappers.
NWA set the standard in Hip Hop that is still highly influential. They started Gangsta Rap and they do it better than anyone else. Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, Eazy E, DJ Yella and... for a brief moment Arabian Prince.
NWA and their stable were the last artists of the genre that I listened to. They were the best and I still believe no one comes close to them. A Super Nova of brilliance that went out as quickly as it came.
You have to remember "bass" was literally a new thing. It was CRAZY
They didn't mess around. They put truth to music
Was on another video and was going to suggest this. I searched first and here you are!! Im one of the 50's! haha Check out some Stevie B, Spring Love, us oldies club jam.
