I'd say Gangsta Gangsta is probably my favourite. I can sing most of their songs word for word with no mistakes by this point. I still haven't seen SOC, though. Not really a fan of N.W A., but I can vouch for the greatness of SOC. Not gonna lie, I teared up a bit at end. Eazy E's death scenes are some of the hardest scenes I've ever had to watch in a film. Jason Mitchell did a brilliant job.

A lot of it's made-up for the film, but for the most part it's good. Gangsta Gangsta is brilliant, got a great beat to it. And I love the lyrics for Da Police - it's just sad that the lyrics are still accurate today. Tha Police is a great track but it's got a lot of meaning too. Most people don't realise but the song isn't just about some guys singing about hating cops, they're singing about the racism and unfair arrests in urban areas. Like when he says "Aw, shit, man, now what the you pulled me over for?" "Because I feel like it. Just sit your ass on the curb and shut the up".

They used their music to highlight real problems that black people faced. They gave, in their own words, the minority a voice.

They did so much for segregation in urban America in the late 80s that they really deserve to be commended for it. Before they spoke out about police brutality and stuff of that nature, nobody really bothered to care about it.

A lot of people dismiss their style of music - but if they actually took the time to listen to the lyrics - they'd realise what they were actually trying to do.

Jason Mitchell did a brilliant job. It was ing heart-wrenching. That, and the scene after Dre finds out about his brother.

Late 80s/early 90s rap is possibly my favourite genre of music ever. Dre, Snoop, Tupac, NWA, Geto Boyz, Biggie.. I could go on forever.

... it really is disappointing that N.W.A./GN'R tour didn't happen.

Even as someone who isn't a fan of N.W.A., or rap in general, I can certainly respect what they were doing. It might not be my cup of tea, but at least their music had meaning behind it - unlike 99% of today's drivel.

My playlist just went from ADHD by Kendrick Lamar to Sami Zayn's theme. Do you want me to be calm or hyped the up? PICK ONE!

Kendrick is probably my favourite current rapper.

i feel like rap/hip-hop has had very distinct generations.
the old school, originators. 80's- early90's the hardcore, powerful lyrics, gang warfare, violence of the early-mid 90's emergence of the greats both lyrically and productively (beats, hooks, etc) later-mid 90's-early 00's club bumpers 03-07 horse manure 08- present
