+Tristan Griffin (SOuTHeRNrAGe96) Except no one's ever seen him smoke weed. Search for pictures of Snoop Dogg smoking weed and you'll find hundreds, but search for Dre and none. Probably just raps about it to be more mainstream.
Some messages are timeless. These days it's not just being black but also about anybody who disagrees or demonstrates individual thought that they try to silence and persecute. The lyrics here are not only on point but very well-written.
Dr Dre is actually an underrated rapper. He really expressed himself and rapped his heart out here. Arguably the best NWA song and probably the best ever from Dr Dre. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This song was removed in Remastered version of GTA: SA, just a friendly reminder. Another friendly reminder: This song was released in 1988, and that's 33 years.

I want to thank GTA San Andreas for teaching me about kick ass old school hip hop songs. without it i would have no idea about this one, and many others. (i was born in 97)

Yet still explicit on most platforms
They changed a lot of their songs lyrics for tv and radio play
david browning and eazer said than done
And “we want eazy” (yes technically that is by nwa)
Dre: "I don't smoke weed or cess"
Also Dre: *makes album called "The Chronic"*
Because he met snoop dogg

This is my favorite NWA song. Idk why, it just makes me so happy.
It is a happy song, tbh. Express yourself :)

This song really showed off NWAs lyrical prowess

For those of you commenting on the lyrics “I don’t smoke weed or cess”..Ice Cube wrote this song and indeed did not smoke weed yet during this period.
I don't think he ever smoked weed
13. He smoked weed during when he was in NWA and if you watched Friday you'll see Ice Cube smoking weed
Dre never writes his verses it either D.O.C who writes most of dre songs or ice cube when he was in nwa or Jay-Z who wrote still dre
Yep, and Dre _also_ didn't smoke weed at this point! That, uh, wouldn't last, as we all know.
InchonDM no dre actually smoke
Damn Dre killed this.
