The D.O.C.: N.W.A’s “Efil4Zaggin” Wasn’t What It Could Have Been

[shopthatwrecks]

nikkaZ4LIFE was like an unOfficial prelude to The Chronic.

no one can do it better ...production wise is a prelude to nikkaz4life ..thats when dre crossed over from hank shocklee sound...

to stuff he heard on the red tape n the stuff tony a was doin when dre left the roadium

portait of a master piece...

out of everybody that used that blow your head by fred wesley sample... nobody came close to andre

 

[I love Latina women]

Some of the lyrics on the second half in particular are

That’s where they fukked up severely

That shyt was so over the top and heinous

 

[shopthatwrecks]

and weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'llll bothhhh ryde home in my automobile..



ahhhh yeah.. thattawork

 

[I love Latina women]

seem like eazy was tryin 2 push the censorship far as he could..

Yeah he was

EAZY was a troll and liked to push buttons and he was a business man and saw that they hit a nerve with the first album but with Cube gone, EAZY went full throttle with the shock value and just gave the media and the public more to bite their nails and gasps at with the second album

yella said e n luke was homeboys... said he wanted to take the pressure off what luke was getting..

notice once the censor shyt died.. none of the groups solo albums sounded anything like nikkaz4life

i believe that.

yup

NWA broke the damn mold

even listening to that album today, it still sounds harder and more brash than anything of it's caliber

 

[JMD]

Ren was my guy

but his lyrics on “ She Swallowed it”

 

[Sbp]

They should've made DOC the new member of the group after Cube left

Nah

 

[shopthatwrecks]

Nah

ren was like 3-2 to ugk

unofficial

except doc is on every nwa album from the very first to the ep n the last one ...

I mean his yeah presence was always there but he just seemed better as his own artist. Adding another official member wasn't really necessary since you already had four dudes with big personalities even after cube and Arabian Prince left. shyt let's go ahead and add Laylaw and DJ Speed while we're at it

he likely would have did the same even with cube there.

hip hop fans are weird(not in particular just you, speaking in general) they act like Cube wasnt writing anything crude in his solo projects between 90-93.

maybe

it's all good; no offense taken at all

Cube had some "crude" shyt, but it wasn't as over the top and non stop as NWA was on N*ggaz4Life

NWA became a caricature of themselves on that album.

the extent to how far is not the key to my point, its that he did it. so hes not above going into that style.

And would have followed suit if he stayed with NWA to rap more hardcore on nikkas4life more likely than not

That’s where they fukked up severely

Yeah, the shyt was like an SNL skit of fukkery

bottom line is NWA jumped the shark with N*gga4Life

they went over board and went above and beyond with the shock value, to the point where they then looked like a parody of themseleves

meanwhile, Cube was still thriving and although he said some abrasive shyt, he kept a rhythm and space going with it.

he didn't put all his eggs in one basket with the shock value at the time.
