25 Years Ago Today Pop Culture Was Changed Forever

[Pliny Pete]

Its crazy to think how much influence the NWA family tree has had on American culture
25 years ago today was really when gangsta rap crossed over into the mainstream and this was the album that did it
The day after this CD dropped every kid in America rushed out to buy some Dickies and a weed leaf hat
Eazy E started it and Dre took it to the next level with Snoop and then Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game and his influence continues today with Kendrick Lamar
Plus those damn Beats headphones that were the must have fashion accessory a few years back that ended up with Dre becoming a bigwig at fucking Apple!
When you include Ice Cube becoming a heavy hitter in Hollywood its amazing what these boys from the hood were able to accomplish

NWA was so punk rock it wasn't even funny.

Either you loved the outlaw vibe or you were a beotch listening to billy Joel

25 Years Ago Today Pop Culture Was Changed Forever -- Dre took it to the next level.

Dre is not Pop. He is Hip hop, Gangsta rap, and G-funk.

 

[DaleBoca]

Rap and hip hop music has been shit for a long time.

The golden era was 1990-1998.

After that, it’s been trash with a few exceptions, I.e. Eminem and that’s about it.

I still listen to that record quite a bit. It' about the only rap I like

For me this is what put rap on the map.

This was the first time I was aware of rap , but I was fuckin 6, so it was likely a matter of timing more than anything else

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

...so it was likely a matter of timing more than anything else

For sure.

To 2 Live Crew's credit, I believe homie took an obscenity charge for selling their Nasty As They Wanna Be record down in Florida. Memory is hazy though.

 

[lostdog000]

gangsta rap was the worst thing to happen in music history

Dre is not Pop. He is Hip hop, Gangsta rap, and G-funk.

You obviously dont know what the term pop culture means
Prolly too young to remember the way he changed everything anyways
