I honestly feel like my dad opened a lot of doors, even for the artists of today, to say what they want to say and look how they want to look. Now, no artist has to question if that’s going to be allowed and accepted. Back then, you had to ask if you could have explicit lyrics, if you could speak about crime, poverty and hustling. I compare that to a person like a Kanye today back then he might not have had the right to do interviews and really speak his mind and say what he wanted to say freely.

N.W.A paved the way for freedom of speech and artistry. Some of them might not even know what it took to form the group back then and what they went through to stand their ground and fight for what they believed in and the politics behind it all. I’m not just talking about the fans, the consumers and even the actual artists of today. I really just want everybody to get educated on what Eazy-E and N.W.A did for everybody in general.
