Special Ed was spot on, fukk what Xzibit is talking about.
If you actually look at the time line of what he said, he mentioned "after the F.B.I. sent that letter".
So that's post-Cube, 2nd album. Cube left 3-4 months after the letter.
That's when Eazy-E was doing goofy, theatrical shyt like wearing a straight jacket because he's "crazy". That's when N.W.A. was in Rolling Stone magazine talking about "yeah, we really kill hookers".
They were damn near a parody of themselves on "efil4zaggiN". I was 15 when that album came out and even then I thought it was over the top. A handful of songs are good, and the beats are great, but that's it.
