The last time Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and MC Ren collaborated in 2000, the last song released under the name N.W.A., dropped in 1999, and the last time all five surviving original members (Cube, Dre, Ren, DJ Yella and Prince Arabian) appeared on tracks with each other was the actual album Straight Outta Compton , released in 1988. Cube links are modern (Donald Sterling, Richard Sherman, Niggas in Paris), and shout origin N.W.A (Straight Outta Compton, now here's a sermon / ... Because I'm in benz with MC Ren). The only downside to the DVD is that it really isn't the director's cut, which also means that there were 20 much longer minutes of the film that wasn't observed in the theater.

Past members Arab Prince DJ Yella Dr. Dre Eazy-E Ice Cube MC.W.A (short for Niggaz Wit. They were among the earliest and most significant popularizers and controversial figures of gangsta rap subgenre, and are widely considered one of the greatest and most influential bands in the history of hip-hop music. Active from 1987 to 1991, the rap group went through controversy because of the explicit lyrics of their music, which many considered misogynistic, as well as the glorification of drugs and crime. The group was subsequently banned from many major American radio stations. Despite this, the group has sold more than 10 million units in the United States alone. Drawing on its own experience of racism and excessive policing, the group has made political music at its core. They were known for their deep hatred of the police system, which has caused much controversy over the years. The original line-up, formed in early 1987, consisted of Arabian Prince, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E and Ice Cube. DJ Yella and MC Ren joined later that year. They released their first band as a band in 1987 under the name N.W.A. and Posse, which reached #39 on the Billboard Top R'B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The Arabian prince left the country shortly after the release of his debut studio album Straight Outta Compton in 1989, and Ice Cube followed suit in December. Eazy-E, Ice Cube, MC Ren and Dr. Dre later became platinum solo artists in their own right in the 1990s. Their debut album marked the beginning of a new era of gangsta rap, as the production and social commentary in their lyrics were revolutionary in the genre. N.W.A's second studio album, Niggaz4Life, was the first hardcore rap album to reach number one on the Billboard 200. Rolling Stone ranked N.W.A at number 83 on the list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2016, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after three previous nominations. History N.W.A Logo Formation and Panic Zone (1987-88) Poster for one of the first N.W.A concerts at Compton Rink, 1988 N.W.A was assembled by Compton-based Eazy-E, who co-founded Ruthless Records with Jerry Heller. Eazy-E was looking for an acquaintance with Steve Although initially rebuffed, Jano was impressed by Eazy-E's perseverance and arranged a meeting with Dr. Dre. N.W.A was originally made up of Eazy-E and Dr. Dre. Along with another producer, Ice Cube was added to the list after he started as a rapper for the band C.I.A. Dre later brought DJ Yella on board as well. Dre and Yella were members of World Class Wreckin' Cru as DJs and producers. Ruthless released the single Panic zone in 1987 with Macola Records, which was later included in the N.W.A. and Posse compilation. N.W.A is still in the pipeline, and is only credited on three of the eleven tracks, notably the uncharacteristic recordings of Panic Zone, 8-Ball, and Dopeman, which marked the first collaboration of the Arab Prince, DJ Yella, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube. Mexican rapper Krazy-Dee co-wrote Panic Zone, which was originally called The Hispanic Area, but the name was later changed when Dr. Dre told Krazy-Dee that the word Hispanic would discourage sales. Also included in the solo track Eazy-E Boyz-n-the-Hood. Straight Outta Compton, Eazy-Duz-It (1988-1989) N.W.A were among the headliners of the 1988 Public Enemy concert tour Bring the Noise. N.W.A released their debut studio album Straight Outta Compton in 1988. With its famous opening volley of three tracks, the band reflected the growing anger of the city's youth. The opening song Straight Outta Compton presented a group, Fuck tha Police protested police brutality and racial profiling, and Gangsta Gangsta painted the worldview of urban youth. While the band was later credited with pioneering gangsta rap subgenre, N.W.A called their music a reality rap. Twenty-seven years later, a member and co-producer of the film Straight Outta Compton, Ice Cube, commented that they talked about what really led to the style that we eventually did, which is now called hardcore gangster rap. Dr. Dre and DJ Yella, as HighPowered Productions, composed rhythms for each song, with Dre making occasional rap appearances. D.O.C., Ice Cube and MC Ren wrote most of the band's lyrics, including tha Police, arguably the band's most famous song, which brought them into conflict with various law enforcement agencies. Under pressure from Focus on the Family, Milt Ahlerich, assistant director of the FBI, sent a letter to Ruthless and his distributor, Priority Records, advising the rappers that propaganda of violence and attacks is wrong, and we in law enforcement are making an exception to such actions. This letter can still be seen in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. The policemen refused to ensure the safety of the band's concerts, which damaged their tour plans. However, the FBI letter only served to attract more publicity to the group. Outta Compton was also one of the first albums to stick to the new parental label counseling scheme, then back in the early stages: the label at the time consisted of WARNING: Moderate Exposure to Rough Language and/or Themes Only. However, the taboo nature of N.W.A music was the most important factor in its mass appeal. Media coverage compensated for the absence of N.W.A, and their album eventually became double platinum. A month after Straight Outta Compton, the solo debut of Eazy-E Eazy-Duz-It was released. The album was dominated by Eazy (MC Ren was the only guest rapper), but behind the scenes it was a band effort. The music was made by Dr. Dre and DJ Yella; the lyrics were mostly written by MC Ren, featuring Ice Cube and The D.O.C. The album was another double platinum success for Ruthless (in addition to JJ Fad in 1988 and singer Michelle in 1989). 1989 saw the re-release of N.W.A and Posse and Straight Outta Compton on CD, and the release of D.O.C. No one can make it better. His album was essentially a collaboration with Dr. Dre and in particular free of gangsta-rap content, including the N.W.A squad to cut the Grand Final. This will be another #1 for the record label. 100 miles And Runnin' and Niggaz4Life (1989-91) Ice Cube left the band in December 1989 due to royalty disputes; Writing almost half the text on Straight Outta Compton, he felt he wasn't getting a fair share of the profits.

  • (2001) 96- 126 Gangsta Misogyny: a Content Analysis of the Portrayals of Violence Against Women in Rap Music, 1987-1993*
    Copyright © 2001 Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture All rights reserved. ISSN 1070-8286 Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture, 8(2) (2001) 96- 126 GANGSTA MISOGYNY: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF THE PORTRAYALS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN RAP MUSIC, 1987-1993* by Edward G. Armstrong Murray State University ABSTRACT Gangsta rap music is often identified with violent and misogynist lyric portrayals. This article presents the results of a content analysis of gangsta rap music's violent and misogynist lyrics. The gangsta rap music domain is specified and the work of thirteen artists as presented in 490 songs is examined. A main finding is that 22% of gangsta rap music songs contain violent and misogynist lyrics. A deconstructive interpretation suggests that gangsta rap music is necessarily understood within a context of patriarchal hegemony. INTRODUCTION Theresa Martinez (1997) argues that rap music is a form of oppositional culture that offers a message of resistance, empowerment, and social critique. But this cogent and lyrical exposition intentionally avoids analysis of explicitly misogynist and sexist lyrics. The present study begins where Martinez leaves off: a content analysis of gangsta rap's lyrics and a classification of its violent and misogynist messages. First, the gangsta rap music domain is specified. Next, the prevalence and seriousness of overt episodes of violent and misogynist lyrics are documented. This involves the identification of attributes and the construction of meaning through the use of crime categories. Finally, a deconstructive interpretation is offered in which gangsta rap music's violent and misogynist lyrics are explicated in terms of the symbolic encoding of gender relationships.

PROLOGUE Sidelines of chairs neatly divide the center field and a large stage stands erect. At its center, there is a stately podium flanked by disciplined men wearing the militaristic suits of the Fruit of Islam, a visible security squad. This is Ford Field, usually known for housing the Detroit Lions football team, but on this occasion it plays host to a different gathering and sentiment. The seats are mostly full, both on the floor and in the stands, but if you look closely, you’ll find that this audience isn’t the standard sporting fare: the men are in smart suits, the women dress equally so, in long white dresses, gloves, and headscarves.

  • “Straight Outta Compton”—NWA (1988)
    “Straight Outta Compton”—N.W.A (1988) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Ben Westhoff (guest post)* “Straight Outta Compton” LP N..W.A Gangsta rap existed before “Straight Outta Compton,” but N.W.A’s landmark 1988 album popularized the genre and serves as its standard bearer even today. The mythology of the artists behind its creation also continues to loom large: Eazy-E, the Compton crack dealer who used his profits to finance a hip-hop career; Dr. Dre, his neighbor who’d most recently been DJ-ing in flamboyant, sequined outfits for a song-and-dance group; Ice Cube, the ostentatious high school rapper from South Central Los Angeles whose writing gifts matched his aggressive delivery. But it was the characters they imagined--both militarized street kids sick of being humiliated by the cops and brash punks on the hunt for sex and cheap booze--that shaped the album, marching in time to Dr. Dre’s assault of chopped samples, wailing sirens, guitar riffs, and rapid drum machine beats, all of it more tuneful than it sounds on paper. Rounded out by the group’s other firebrand rapper, MC Ren, Dr. Dre’s production partner, MC Yella, and electro-rap holdover Arabian Prince--not to mention hugely influential ghostwriter D.O.C.--N.W.A reshaped hip-hop music in their own image. They called it “reality rap,” but in the beginning it was far from clear that N.W.A would rap unvarnished lyrics threatening the status quo. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube’s earlier music disparaged the gang lifestyle, and just about everyone in the group admired Prince.

  • MTV Studios to Reimagine “Celebrity Deathmatch” for a New Generation
    MTV Studios to Reimagine “Celebrity Deathmatch” for a New Generation December 5, 2018 Ice Cube and Cube Vision Set to Executive Produce, With Ice Cube to Lend Voice Talent in a Lead Role Original Creator Eric Fogel to also Executive Produce, With Additional Talent to Come NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 5, 2018-- MTV Studios today announced plans to reimagine “Celebrity Deathmatch,” the seminal stop-motion satire that skewered celebrities, politicians and everyone in between during its famed original run. Ice Cube joins the franchise for the first time and will both star and executive produce alongside his partner Jeff Kwatinetz through his Cube Vision production company. Series creator Eric Fogel will return to executive produce as well, with additional showrunners and talent to be named shortly. The all-new “Celebrity Deathmatch” will be available as a weekly series for an exclusive SVOD or premium broadcast partner in 2019. The move marks the first step in reinventing the franchise across consumer products, gaming, theatrical and more. Ice Cube/Cube Vision are represented by WME. “Celebrity Deathmatch” expands Ice Cube’s long-standing relationship with the MTV family, with Cube Vision currently producing “Hip Hop Squares” for MTV sister brand VH1. “We’re excited to grow our partnership with Ice Cube and Cube Vision to reimagine this fan favorite,” said Chris McCarthy, President of MTV, VH1 and CMT. “’Deathmatch’ was the meme before memes, remains a hot topic on social media and will be a smart, funny way to tackle the over-the-top rhetoric of today’s pop culture where it belongs – in the wrestling ring.” “Happy to once again be working with Viacom and MTV on a fan favorite like ‘Celebrity Deathmatch’ and to continue our success together,” said Ice Cube.
