Title: How important was NWA for the West?
Post by: 40oz GRApHire on July 17, 2003, 04:23:31 AM
Imagin the West without the NWA revolution... You'd really think the West would of been on the map like it is represented today? Not many realise the importance of the NWA revolution to the West but not only for the west, there were alot of rap groups from outside the west who got inspired but ofcourse there also was Run-DMC, Rakim & Eric B., Public Enemy, Geto Boyz... but none had such a impact to make ways for labels as Death Row Records which actually made the West with top Westcoast rappers (Nate Dogg, Snoop, Dr Dre > Warren G, DPG, 2Pac...) which are still having alot of success these days.

NWA WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT MOVEMENT ON THE WEST.  8)

Absolutely. I don't think you'll find many people who'll disagree with that statement.

I think if there had been no NWA, Ice-T could have accomplished similar acheivements, but it would have taken a lot longer.

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
