 N.W.A. IN QUESTION
--------------------

   by Spin+DefKLF.


] NWA's new album,Niggaz4life,sets a new
]record for gangsta-rap violence.
]  But can they walk it  like  they talk
]it,or are they just a joke ?

        Nobody  goes   for   all   that
"bitch-nigga-ho" gangsta rap stuff,it's
just too gross. Yeah , right, just like
nobody goes to sex shops, strip joints,
or porn movie houses.That's why there's
one on every other corner & the idea of
somebody getting  killed is  revolting.
That's  why  you can't get  tickets  to
Terminator 2 , and have to see Truth or
Dare ( with Madonna )again. Just remem-
ber to close your eyes during the Evian
bottle scene.

   The members of N.W.A.  ( Niggas With
attitude )  know  what sells  and  they
know how to sell it.That's why an album
that couldn't be played on  American  &
English radios  even if hell froze over
rockets to No. 1  on the pop charts  in
just 2 weeks. They are not stupid, even
though you may think so by the time you
finnish this article. They're business-
men. And I'd  much rather  sit  next to
Eazy-E on a plane  than some sweaty fat
guy  who s ells  insurance. You may not
agree  with  Eazy's  ideas. He  doens't
care. He's  making  millions  and  he's
probably happier than you are.
    So shut up.

  I'm not justifying murder , misogyny,
rape,robbery, or any of the other stuff
N.W.A. raps about. But  they have every
right  to rap about it , and  plenty of
people  obviously  love it. I  actually
like  N.W.A  a lot, but I think the new
album  Niggas4Life  wears  thin  pretty
fast. The  main problem is that the old
"niggas" and "bitches" thing  - whether
offensive or not -  is getting a little
tired.The record's good for some clever
raps and a laugh or two , but  that  is
not enough anymore , and  we expect now
more than simple "Suck my dick bitch !"
to release our tension.
