[PART 3] Eazy-E Confronts Reporters in Chaotic N.W.A Press Event (1990)

Digitally restored and remastered from the original broadcast, this rare N.W.A. press conference captures the group at their most confrontational, unfiltered, and unapologetic — speaking to the UK media ahead of their notorious Brixton show. With Ice Cube no longer in the group, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, and DJ Yella face off against a room of journalists pushing them on violence, censorship, gang culture, the FBI, Public Enemy, their use of profanity, and the realities of life in Los Angeles.

Across an intense and often chaotic Q&A, the group dismisses accusations of glorifying violence, explain why their music reflects the truth of street life, and double down on the raw storytelling that made “F*** Tha Police” and Straight Outta Compton cultural lightning rods. They challenge media narratives, mock misconceptions about the Black community, and speak openly about gang sweeps, racial profiling, and police brutality — topics still painfully relevant today.

🎤 Highlights include:
N.W.A. on why they’re recording another version of “F*** Tha Police”
Their response to Public Enemy releasing a track similar to theirs
Eazy-E joking about thanking an abortion clinic on the album sleeve
The group explaining racial profiling, gang sweeps, and LAPD harassment
Why they believe the media hides the causes of violence
Opening up about their families, upbringing, and the reality behind the music

📼 Originally aired on Music Box TV, this press conference offers an unfiltered, chaotic, and brutally honest look at N.W.A. as they battle critics in real time — refusing to back down.

who has passed Nas lyrically?

lyricism has gone the opposite way since the 90s...it has been severely dumbed down so much so in fact that people actually think that Kendrick is an elite MC

Alot of rapper have. Even in the battle rap community. I wont bother with a list because it will just lead to my opinion versus your argument. Nas being the pinnacle of lyricism is a industry narrative.

Dre is a great rapper.

defination of an emcee is very confusing. some says its more about lyrical ability and wordplays like you say, some says its about live performance and being an entertainer on stage.

for example krs one describes it as an Emcee is to host the show as a Master of the Ceremonies.

according to Krs One, dre beats every other fucking rapper when it comes to being a master of ceremonies on stage.

as a lyricist i can say Game is better than dre.

it's not really confusing bruh, those within the culture generally understand the difference between rapper and emcee








here is krs talking more about emcee vs rapper:

the literal definition is master of ceremonies so in the 80s anyone rockin the mic was the MC .. but as hip-hop evolved, MC became emcee and the definition veered more towards someone with raw skills on the mic

Is there any way for a reup ? I would appreciate a lot !!

Unpopular opinion but personally I prefer The Game as a rapper compared to Dr. Dre.

That’s not to say I don’t think Dre is a good rapper and I still listen to his music all the time, but The Game is a more natural rapper and can come with different flows and cadences from time to time compared to Dre who when he’s not rapping like he normally does puts on that forced Kendrick Lamar-like voice and flow which I’m not a fan of at all.
