Ice Cube:
"Fuck tha police comin straight from the underground
A young nigga got it bad 'cause I'm brown
I'm not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority"
MC Ren:

"To the police I'm sayin fuck you punk
Readin my rights and shit, it's all junk
Pullin out a silly club, so you stand
With a fake assed badge and a gun in your hand
But take off the gun so you can see what's up
And we'll go at it punk, and I'ma fuck you up"
Eazy-E:

"Without a gun and a badge, what do you got
A sucker in a uniform waiting to get shot
By me, or another nigga
And with a gat it don't matter if he's smaller or bigger." %u201D

At the end of the song, "Judge Dre" delivers the verdict: "The jury has found you guilty of being a redneck, white bread, chickenshit motherfucker" %u2014%u2014 "you" referring to a police officer who represents the Los Angeles Police Department. The police officer's reaction is: "But wait, that's a lie! That's a goddamn lie! I want justice! I want justice! Fuck you, you black motherfucker...!" as he is apparently being dragged out of the courtroom.
The song "Fuck tha Police", containing N.W.A's trademark inflammatory lyrics, stood out in particular from many of the songs on Straight Outta Compton. It highlights many of the tensions between black urban youth and the police (widespread resentment towards the LAPD boiled over 3 years later, in the 1992 Los Angeles riots following the Rodney King incident). The song also alleged that minorities in the police department betrayed their race, with lyrics such as:

“ "And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one
Cause they'll slam ya down to the street top
Black police showing out for the white cop" ”

Especially controversial were the areas of the song that appear to condone violence towards police authorities; lines such as "I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope/Taking out a cop or two, they can't cope/with me" and "A sucka in a uniform waitin' to get shot/by me, or anotha nigga" directly reference the murder of police officers. The FBI and the U.S. Secret Service sent a letter to Ruthless Records informing the label of their displeasure with the song's message, and N.W.A were banned from performing at several venues.

The controversy around the single helped propel sales for the album and, ultimately, helped make it go double platinum.

This song has proven popular enough to be covered by such acts as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, as well as gaining popularity with rock bands, including Dope, Soulfly and Rage Against the Machine. This song was included on N.W.A's Greatest Hits.

In 1989, Australian radio station Triple J had been playing "Fuck tha Police" for up to six months, before gaining the attention of Australian Broadcasting Corporation management who subsequently banned it. As a reaction the staff went on strike and put N.W.A's "Express Yourself" on continuous play for 24 hours, playing it roughly 360 times in a row. In 1996, during massive opposition street protests in Belgrade, Serbia, "Fuck tha Police", along with Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" was continually played for 2 days on a Belgrade radio station B92.

Kirjan keskeisin henkilö 17-vuotias, kuvitteellisessa Libertyvillen (Pennsylvania) kaupungissa asuva rikkaan perheen ainokainen, Arnold "Arnie" Cunningham. Arnie on hyljeksitty ja yksinäinen eivätkä tytötkään ole kiinnostuneita hänestä, ja häntä myös kiusataan koulussa. Hänellä on kuitenkin yksi hyvä ystävä, Dennis Guilder. Dennis on puolestaan Arnieen verrattuna urheilullinen ja suosittu nuorukainen, mikä pelastaa Arnienkin monilta kiipeleiltä. Eräänä päivänä Arnie ostaa sattumalta hetken huumassa vanhalta sotaveteraanilta, Roland D. LeBaylta ajan patinoiman vuoden 1958 Plymouth Furyn, Christinen. Hetkeä myöhemmin vanha mies kuolee ja alkaa tapahtua kummia asioita. Auto paljastuu hiljalleen varsin erikoiseksi laitteeksi. Vähitellen Arnie hullaantuu ja rakastuu yhä palavammin autoonsa Christineen. Vanha ystävä Dennis Guilder sekä koulun kauneimpiin kuuluva uusi tyttöystävä, Leigh Cabot ja Arnien vanhemmat saavat väistyä tämän oudon suhteen tieltä. Myös lähtökohdat entisiin vihamiehiin alkavat kallistua kostonhimoisempaan suuntaan. Kaikki läheiset huomaavat Arnien saavan outoja piirteitä, sitä mukaa kun hän kunnostaa Christineä. Mutta kukaan ei tiedä miksi ja mihin se lopulta johtaisi...

This definitive history of the Crips and the man behind the gang digs deep into a world rarely seen by outsiders. The social and racial upheaval of the '60s sparked the creation of politically and socially active clubs by young blacks. Groups like the Sons of Watts, Black Panther, and US Organization tried to protect their communities from the violence that was perpetrated against them in the name of racism, police brutality and injustice.

The demise of these groups led a young Raymond Lee Washington to create his own club with much of the same ideals and political ideologies that he admired in the earlier clubs. What later formed is now known as the infamous Crips, but he did not intend for them to become so violent.

Includes an exclusive first-time interview with Gregg "Batman" Davis, an original member of the Crips, gang historian, film maker, and founder of Alex Alonso, gang sociologist and author Malcolm Klein, and top gang cop & president of the California Gang Investigators Association Wes McBride.

Topics discussed are the early Black gangs from Los Angeles during the 1940s and 1950s, Alprentice "Bunchy" Carter, Ron Karenga, Black Panthers, US Organization, Bloods and Crips in the 1980s and the crack cocaine epidemic.

Gangsta rap is a genre of hip-hop that reflects the violent lifestyles of inner-city youth. The genre was pioneered around 1983 by Ice T with songs like "Cold Winter Madness" and "Body Rock/Killers." Gangsta rap was popularized by illustrious rap groups like NWA and Boogie Down Productions in the late 80s.

Elements & Style:

Gangsta rap revolves around aggressive lyrics and trunk-heavy beats. Despite its huge acceptance in the early 90s, gangsta rap has been condemned for its violent themes. Rappers often defend themselves by saying that they're only depicting actual inner-city struggles, not promoting it.

Gangsta Rap + Commercial Beats = Success:
Gangsta rap gained commercial momentum after the release of Notorious B.I.G's Ready To Die. B.I.G. and his producer, Puff Daddy, meshed gritty narratives with polished pop beats entirely designed with clubs and pop charts in mind. Since then, the same blueprint has been reproduced over and over by today's rap artists.

Notable Gangsta Rappers:

N.W.A.
The Geto Boys
Ice-T
Snoop Dogg
Westside Connection

Gangsta rap is a genre of hip hop that reflects the violent lifestyles of some inner-city youths.[1] Gangsta is slang for the word gangster. The genre was pioneered around 1983 by Ice T with songs like Cold Wind Madness and Body Rock/Killers and was popularized by groups like N.W.A in the late 80s.[1] After the national attention that Ice-T & N.W.A created in the late 80's, gangsta rap became the most commercially lucrative subgenre of hip hop.

The subject matter inherent in gangsta rap has caused a great deal of controversy. Criticism has come from both left wing and right wing commentators, and religious leaders, who have accused the genre of promoting homophobia, violence, racism, profanity, promiscuity, misogyny, rape, street gangs, drive-by shootings, vandalism, thievery, drug dealing, alcohol abuse, substance abuse and materialism.

Some commentators (for example, Spike Lee in his satirical film Bamboozled) have criticized it as analogous to black minstrel shows and blackface performance, in which performers – both black and white – were made up to look African American, and acted in a stereotypically uncultured and ignorant manner for the entertainment of audiences. Gangsta rappers often defend themselves by claiming that they are describing the reality of inner-city life, and that they are only adopting a character, like an actor playing a role, which behaves in ways that they may not necessarily endorse.
