Скачать или смотреть Hip-Hop's Ties To BLACK ORGANIZED CRIME: Eazy-E & N.W.A.

THIS IS THE STORY OF A HUSTLER who ran the streets of Compton, California, at a time when gang violence was leaving dead bodies everywhere. When the crack era was raging and in full effect. When gangs were a national scourge and made headlines every day. The young Black male was vilified in the media, and for brothers in the hood, life was either cut short by a barrage of bullets or a lengthy prison sentence. It was an ugly era in America's history. Much has been made of Eazy-E's gangster past, but it was his entrepreneurial mind and spirit that built a blueprint with N.W.A. and Ruthless Records that set trends and showed others the way to do this rap thing. Eazy-E blazed the path and hip-hop culture followed. Gangsta rap was born and West Coast hip-hop went mainstream. Eazy-E left a legacy that will always be remembered in the annals and lyrical lore of hip-hop and gangsta rap.
