RAP
The rap of N.W.A. and Easy-E is filled with sexism and racism toward their own race. They perpetuate the myth that ghetto blacks are ruthless killers.
Although there are very serious problems in the black community, N.W.A.’s portrayal of us is a race under siege. This type of attitude is stagnant to rap music and to the black community.
N.W.A. claims that they are in rap to make money. Well, this is nothing new, because throughout history we have had people who will sell out their race for a buck.
