NWA didn't really "invent" Gangsta rap, they were just the most influential with it. Schooly D was doing Gangsta rap as early as 84, KRS & Ice-T were doing it in 86ish. not dissing NWA, they def deserves lots of props but not all of them

I suppose you right on that but still Ice-T wouldnt of made the west as big as NWA did

definetly, that's why i said NWA were the most influential

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.
