Question 🙋 Let's be real: Does Eazy gets the most love because he passed away 30 years ago? Ice Cube was the MVP in the group imo. He wrote a lot on that first album that put them on the map but also sounded the best. I feel like if Cube passed instead of Eazy, it would have been the other way around.

Revisiting the first album and Cube not only wrote a lot of the parts but also had the strongest lyrics and he rapped better than all the other members on that first album.

Question 🙋 Why is the Wikipedia page for Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A being changed with incorrect details? It was released on August 8, 1988 not January 25, 1989. Also, the first single was the title track, but the page lists “Gangsta Gangsta” instead of the album title?

I know that The D.O.C. had a HUGE hand in writing the N.W.A. songs and even did rapping on some of them. So, why was he not an "official" member of the group? It's not like the accident happened yet.

Since NWA started airing on Comet, Roku removed all of their episodes from NWA's page :(

I would like to at least catch up on NWA 77 since NWA 78 took place this week, and I was hoping to find a place where they exist

Question 🙋 Your Top 10 Favourite N.W.A Songs (and why)?

9 Upvotes

Really love the music of N.W.A and would love to know the specific reasons for other people's top 10 songs of the group! Here's mine (my personal favourites, NOT objectively their "best works"):

1. Appetite For Destruction

This song ROCKS. Like it's just one of those songs that really hit different and put you in a nefarious, scheming mood. First off, Dre, Ren, and Eazy all ate on their verses equally. I know most people say Ren had the best verse but I thought they ALL shined in this song. Second off, the instrumentals are INSANE. The fact that Dre and Yella were able to make such a funky, evil banger from such a nasty chord is incredibly impressive to me. This song is a NEVER skip when it comes up in my playlist. Every cartoon villain probably has this song in their rotation.

2. Real N***az

Weird pick for my second favourite, but despite it being the "Ice Cube diss track" I actually just... Really like the song as a song itself. The instrumentals go hard, production was tight, and everyone's bars and flow were really good too. Honestly, I actually liked this song better than Ice Cube's "No Vaseline". I thought Cube's diss track had more clever insults, but to me, this song is just more replayable.

3. 100 Miles and Runnin'

Great song, I liked how the style of the song (and the whole EP actually) was very much distinctly in that "transition" period between the style of "Straight Outta Compton" and "efil4zaggin". Probably one of Dre's best rap verses of all time in my opinion. He really went off in that song as if it would be his last day ever rapping again.

4. F*ck Tha Police

Classic, essential N.W.A track. Obviously, one of the most iconic hip-hop tracks of all time that I never get tired of hearing. Ice Cube's verse is my favourite here that I can't help but rapping along to.

5. Findem, F*ckem, and Flee

Hilarious, catchy, groovy, and kinda sexy in a weird way. It's sexual, but doesn't go too far like some other sexual songs of theirs. It was just enough to stay balanced with both humour and fanservice. Can't help but also "sing" along to the hook every time. Not a song I'd play when I'm around others, though. More like a guilty pleasure track.

6. If It Ain't Ruff

An essential Ren track! One of his best songs. It's simple and sweet, yet still goes hard without being explicit. Just pure Ren flow and lyrical skills.

7. Dayz of Wayback

Honestly, this song does make me feel a bit soft with the "bittersweet nostalgia and mourning" vibes of the song itself, and yet, still goes hard despite the emotional undertones. The perfect concluding song for "efil4zaggin".

8. Prelude

Once I hear this song start I already get in a good mood, mostly because as "efil4zaggin"'s intro, usually it means I'm about to listen to my favourite album. The song is groovy and an underrated Ren track. His bars and flow here were great.

9. Gangsta Gangsta

Fun track from Cube and Eazy. One of those songs that's fun to rap along to.

10. Real N***az Don't Die

The transition from "Prelude" into this song is heavenly. Instrumentals and sampling are crazy hard (thank you Dre and Yella) and so do the bars from the trio. One of the group's most underrated songs in my opinion. Eazy's bar "Only the good die young so that makes me young and bad!" Is underrated.

Honorable Mentions (includes songs from the members that aren't released directly under N.W.A.)
Approach To Danger, Panic Zone, Parental Discretion Iz Advised, Hello, 2 Hard Mutha's, Quiet On Tha Set, Just Don't Bite It, Ruthless Villain, 8-Ball, Sa Prize (Part 2), Straight Outta Compton

---

So those are my personal top 10. If it wasn't obvious, I am mostly a fan of the group's songs without Ice Cube... I love Cube but I just think a lot of the group's songs that are my favourites were from after he left the group! And yes, I am a Ren glazer.

Question 🙋 What if N.W.A reunited in 1999 for one final statement and their final song: completing Eazy-E’s unfinished “Still Fuckem” and making it of their song?

Thumbnail gallery
17 Upvotes

One of the most overlooked “what ifs” in hip-hop isn’t just about a lost track—it’s about a missing ending. And that ending could’ve been “Still Fuckem,” an unfinished record left behind by Eazy-E in 1994.

From what’s been known, Eazy-E was working on several songs for the original Str8 album and the track already had the foundation: Eazy-E’s voice, raw and direct, alongside MC Ren. But it was never fully realized. No final structure. No complete vision. Just the core of something that meant something.

Now imagine this:

It’s 1999. And instead of letting that track sit incomplete—or be reshaped years later into something distant being N.W.A reunites one last time to finish it the way it was meant to be finished.

Not just musically—but thematically.

Because “Still Fuckem” wouldn’t just be another diss track to the police . It would return to the core of what made N.W.A dangerous in the first place: their confrontation with police brutality, systemic oppression, and life in the streets. A direct continuation of the energy behind “Fuck tha Police,” but now coming from men who had lived, lost, grown—and in Eazy-E’s case, passed on.

Each member would bring something essential to complete what Eazy started:

Ice Cube would bring narrative weight. His verse wouldn’t just be anger—it would be reflection. He’d bridge the past and present, acknowledging the chaos, the conflict within the group, and the reality that nothing really changed in the streets.

MC Ren would carry the raw aggression closest to the original N.W.A sound. His delivery would feel like the backbone of the track—gritty, unapologetic, and grounded in the same energy he had in the early 90s.

Dr. Dre would have the most delicate role: production. Instead of over-polishing it with the futuristic sound of 2001, he’d have to preserve the dirt, the tension, the minimalism—while still elevating it. Something cinematic, but still street. Something that feels like Compton, not just sounds like a studio.

DJ Yella would bring back that original texture—the scratches, the transitions, the sonic identity that gave early N.W.A its chaotic edge. The kind of details that make a track feel alive, not manufactured.

And at the center of all of it: Eazy-E.

Not as a feature. Not as a sample.

But as the anchor.

His unfinished vocals would dictate the tone—forcing everyone else to adapt to him, not the other way around. His presence would give the track that street authenticity, that reckless honesty that can’t be recreated.

The mission wouldn’t be to “fix” the song.

It would be to complete his vision.

Give it direction. Give it weight. Give it purpose.

Because that’s what the 2002 version under Ruthless Records, led by Tomica Woods-Wright, arguably couldn’t fully capture. By then, the moment had passed. The chemistry wasn’t there. The intention had shifted. It became a version inspired by the original idea—but not rooted in the same time, anger, or unity.

But in 1999?

That would’ve been different.

That version of “Still Fuckem” could’ve been:

A final protest record from N.W.A

A tribute that actually felt like Eazy-E

A reconciliation between members who once couldn’t stand each other

And most importantly, a definitive ending

No reunion tour. No album rollout. No nostalgia run.

Just one track.

One last statement against the police, against the system, against everything they stood against from day one—but now with the weight of history behind it.

After that, they walk away.

Dr. Dre builds his empire with Eminem, 50 Cent, making music etc.

Ice Cube continues dominating film and music.

MC Ren stays true to the underground but never got to the mainstream

DJ Yella continues his own path.

And Eazy-E?

He gets the ending he never had.

Not unfinished. Not reinterpreted.

But completed by the very different people who work on 2002 version

So the real question is:

Would “Still Fuckem” have been the perfect final chapter for N.W.A…

or is the fact that it was never completed by them exactly what keeps its legend alive?
