#39 RAP TAPES: N.W.A. And The Posse


The N.W.A. posse, though dabbling in the gangsta arts, had not yet sprung full bore into helping launch what would be a genre that has polluted hip hop - the gangstiddy rapping - because this tape is half that and half comedy songs. I think one thing lost in him being a financial backer of the earliest super-raw gangsta rap and having died of AIDS is that Eazy-E was one stupid motherfucker. Not stupid like hyphy stupid, but stupid like ignorant laughing at some dumb ass Hee Haw for the ghetto type shit. I was in a hotel room this weekend, so had cable, and VH1 does some stupid Hip Hop Honors crap, and they were gonna HONNA HONNA both Eazy-E and Ice Cube, at least it looked that way as I silently watched the screen while the clock radio was playing reggaeton on an AM radio station. There's a fuckin' hall of fame for everything now... like shit that just started last year has a Hall of Fame somewhere on the internet with ceremonial clips on youtube. Fuckin' people. We are retarded as fuck, even those of us who act like all we do is make fun of the retarded. Too bad Eazy-E didn't spread AIDS as a human herd-thinning disease as well as he spread gangsta rap as a commodity.

Haha.. if he failed at thinning the herd it wasn't for lack of trying. But he probably did thin the herd by fooling dumb white kids into thinkin they was "gangsta" and poppin each other in the midwest.
