N.W.A

N.W.A, or Niggaz Wit Attitudes, was a groundbreaking hip-hop group formed in the late 1980s in Compton, California. Comprised of members like Eazy-E, Ice Cube, and Dr. Dre, they are known for popularizing gangsta rap, which addresses themes like street violence, racial discrimination, and life in inner cities. Their 1988 album "Straight Outta Compton" was highly influential, challenging societal norms and sparking conversations about race and police brutality. N.W.A's raw and unapologetic lyrics set a new standard for hip-hop, impacting music and culture significantly and paving the way for future artists.
