Who was the most important piece of NWA in your opinion?

[BK The Great]

Eazy was the heart and soul of the group. Everything from the way they dressed to the content of their music was Eazy's actual life. Dre and Cube were the creative masterminds musically but Eazy's vision, authenticity, and shrewdness is what made their delivery so impactful.

Before Eazy

After Eazy

one thing i gotta admit Eazy gave them the image & platform of being a gangsta rapper. he really lived that life.

 

[Da_Eggman]

We want eazy

 

[TEKBEATZ]

DJ yella

 

[ZEB WALTON]

eazy then dre, cube was important and he set it off but DOC and ren could write to and the ship kept sailing after cube left

eazy brought the realism to the crew. dre brought the sick soundtrack.

Ice Cube had a platinum record while leaving the group so that speaks volumes.

You do realize that all of them except for Yella had platinum projects AFTER NWA right

 

[Awesome Wells]

Cube.

I hate to discredit the rest of the group but

Who started N.W.A? All of them
Who put up the money? Eazy
Who was the initial draw? Eazy, because they made him come out first - he didn't even wanna rap
Who gave the group credibility on the streets? It wasn't just Eazy
Who came out with a solo album first? Eazy, because they made him come out first - he didn't even wanna rap
Who got Dre on board? Yella
Who recruited Ren? What do you mean?
When the Straight Outta Compton video was banned what video stayed in rotation? We Want Eazy ...because they made him come out first
- he didn't even wanna rap

shyt, when they went on tour they were billed as Eazy-E and N.W.A. They're tour in 89 was called the Eazy-Duz It Tour.
...because they made him come out first - he didn't even wanna rap.

I fixed this for you.

For as much as Eazy-E was the heart of the group, Cube's writing was what gave the group and Straight Outta Compton gravitas, not that DOC wasn't a great writer in his own right, but the group never sounded the same without Cube.
