So RBX wasn't hungry anymore when he made his last album, noting that he's slowed down lyrically?  Since you are saying it isn't due to age, but moreso drive, passion and hunger?

But then in an earlier post, you said RBX gave his all and tried as hard as he could and you wouldn't work with someone who didn't give their all.  Seems like two contradictory perspectives, would love to hear your thoughts.   

you're conflating two things

hunger is not something u can force, no matter how hard u try

u can give it your all but still lack that natural relentlessness that you had back in your youth

some people retain that hunger forever .. but typically what happens to people is that they lose that edge with age

it's not a physical thing, it's a spiritual thing

for instance, in sports, you are 100% going to decline physically .. no way around it

in music, drive tends to subside with age, but a select few do retain that drive forever

hunger is not something you consciously decide to have .. it comes from within

i think it really depends on hunger and will

because rapping isn't a physical sport .. u could technically rap great for as long as you can speak great

but what tends to happen with most rappers is that they lose a sense of hunger once they reach a certain point

that's why jelly roll won best new artist at 40 years old .. because it was all new to him and he had never really done anything notable prior to that, so the hunger and passion was still there

[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.

Raw, confrontational and completely unfiltered, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella take on questions about “F** tha Police,”* censorship, violence, media bias and the controversy surrounding their live performances.

The result is a chaotic, combative and darkly funny session that perfectly captures N.W.A at their most outspoken.

🎤 Highlights include:
N.W.A on whether they’ll perform “F** tha Police”* in London
Why they call themselves “underground reporters,” not provocateurs
Eazy-E on money, survival and life after Ice Cube’s exit
