N.W.A was a Compton California based hip hop group widely consided one
of the seminal acts of the gangsta rap. Active from 1986 to 1991 the
group endured controversy due to the explicit nature of their lyrics.
They were subsequently banned from many mainstream US radio stations
and even at times prevented from touring yet the group has still sold
over 9 million units in the U.S. alone. Their second album, Straight
Outta Compton, marked the beginning of the new gangsta rap era as the
production and the social commentary in their lyrics were revolutionary
within the genre. Rolling Stone ranked N.W.A 83rd on their list of the
"100 Greatest Artists of All Time".Although largely unknown at the
group's inception, rappers Dr. Dre, Ice Cude, Easy-E and MC Ren would
all go on to be platinum selling stars as solo artists.
