East Coast men talking about what ppl was doing on the west coast in the 90’s is crazy to me
Why?!
@@DJ_Katonecuz he can’t figure out anything else today to get upset about lol
The politics is a whole lot different out there.
Specifically...ny men
Right? Why he not talking bout Kool G Rap, Wu Tang or Biggie for that matter.
Easy E was a real gang member…Dope dealer…MC Ren is a real gang member…Knock it off Special Ed…You weren’t there…You’re from Brooklyn! Sit this one out…Respectfully
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Go watch CB4. It’s about Eazy E and Ice cube
You are right but he wasnt suspect in any murders was he? All that dealing stopped when he picked up a mic, which it should but he was still glorifiying it like he did. Nwa and the labels moreso took advantage of the hype and became the bad asses that they thought that would continue sell records. It goes on til this day. We all love the music but the hip hop culture did shift to that based upon labels seeing that consumers wanted to buy edgier music over conscious
Right he was the investor leprechaun need to shut up
@@kaizersose7437No, it wasn't.. it was about rappers imitating them. When NWA broke, they influenced a lot of copycats.
Eazy E was certified in the streets.
Eazy-E & Ren come from a real place, putting in real work.
He wasn’t certified. He was a hustler. He sold drugs and was gang affiliated. MC Wren too.
But he wasn’t a certified gang banger.
The rest of the NWA didn’t even do any of that
Facts
Y’all believe anything all them dudes were characters 😂😂😂😂😂
@@thecoach11 you must be from Brooklyn 🤣🤣🤣
Math u gotta get Mc Ren or Ice cube on the show. This cant be a 1 sided conversation.
..|| 📠📠📠 …. but they must also do their research [listen to their music and such] …… gotta get MC REN most especially …..
It will never happen because the point is to do exactly what they are doing which is portray the west coast rappers in a negative light.
@@SpinnTraxxMusicYa'll talk negative about East Coast 24/7
@@SpinnTraxxMusicYa'll scared of Eses
@@SpinnTraxxMusic saying they weren’t gangbanging is a negative thing? Holy shit some of you have some fucked up morals
I'm getting tired of New York dudes talking like they're the only authentic people in the game....and the clear bias towards everyone else. This why there was so much resentment back in the 90's
Being from the hood does NOT automatically equal dumb & criminals.
You should give props to them for being educated as well
I Agree with 💯
Envy and jealousy
💯
📠📠📠
That's all they do is hate 10000% hate
Eazy was about that life.
Eazy and Mc Ren we’re REAL ONES! This dude! 😂
Can’t wait for the Rebuttal 🤷🏻♂️😂
This dude is special 🥴
Watching these special Ed interviews easy to see he's bitter
You sound like a broad that can’t accept accountability
Ed is trying to come across as humble and knowledgeable, hiding hate because his rap was outshined by NWA.
He probably lost a big fan base with the NWA talk..
Finally somebody said it. He can get his point across. Without sounding bitter.
How is he bitter about NWA's success? I think he's bitter about not getting his recognition and his gold plaque, but how is he bitter toward NWA?
@@KtotheG because he Keros taking shots at west coast artists. As if it’s their fault his career was stalled. I’ve yet to hear him say anything negative about east coasts artists contribution to hip hop it’s all about his destructive the west coast was to hip hop.
Amazing that people are somehow taking Ed saying they were good people not gangsters as a diss lol
Just like all the new york rappers were good people. It's really not a diss.
Because you have no understanding
You can be both. They're just correcting the record, because Ed said they weren't all bangin
Ed is a bitter b____
😂 Fans are like “I WANT my favorite artists to have been destructive criminals, we need murderers & community poisoners to be real!”
The Fugees, Will Smith, Heavy D, Coolio and so on all sold records but their formula was never repeated.
This is the same culture that used to call will smith corny and champion the street rappers instead
@@tonymontez2358facts
Ed just making shit up! He didn't live in LA. Eazy E and MC Ren were both in a gang. And just because you're from the streets doesn't mean you can't be a "nice guy". He's really buggin! Suge was running around slapping people before deathrow. DJ Quik and MC Eiht, King T, Tone Loc(I could go on for another paragraph) were certified gang bangers. If you live there you'd know. The difference was they didn't advertise what gang they were in. It was bad for business. But talk about the streets. Not only that but you don't have to actually be in a gang to be affiliated with a gang. You on the block with the wrong set everyone getting dealt with. The crazy thing is there's a Compton everywhere. But gang bang culture was a whole different level of violence. Some of these Rappers told the stories as a precautionary tale or as a way to escape the kaos themselves. If you lived in Compton you wanted to get your entire family out of there. And if it took some beats and a pen and paper to do it the majority of us (especially as teenagers or young adults)are taking that avenue out first train smoking.
Who fucking cares, why do ou want them to “really be in a gang” so bad? It’s like some yall actually WANT your favorite music to be made by murderers & drug pushers, otherwise you wouldn’t like it 🙄
@@joojoobaw it's not a "want them to be drug dealers and gang banger" it's he was a drug dealer and gang banger. It was reality. Like it or not it is what it is.
Easy was really in the streets like that and Ren was highly respected.
Also, Ed is a certified west coast hater.
Big time.
How, when he lived in LA? Why would you go to a place that you hate and live there?
@@KtotheG
Well, speaking for myself here
But I knew him as a rapper from the oldschool days, now I see him as a West Coast hater.
Why?
Because he suddenly pops up everywhere talking BS about the West Coast.
Him having a point is debatable, him being a hater is pretty obvious.
NWA themselves have said they’re more like ghetto reporters cuz that stuff was definitely goin on around them.
Cop out.
Cause they was talking about how THEY would shoot ppl and fuck niggas up.
Reporters would say “those guys was selling to crackheads”
Just because that's what they said doesn't make it true.
@@carlrice1774 You must be young, do you not know what LA was like in the late 80’s early 90’s? Google it & come back.
He was 15 when they was out how he know ??
🎯🎯🎯
He was 15 when he signed his deal, 17 when the album came out. Either way, the NWA members said it themselves, Easy was the closest to the streets getting money.
Our community continues to consume the negativity, therefore it's on US to say enough is enough.
That point about Drake, Cole, Kendrick and most importantly Lauryn Hill is deep. The fact these artists are so successful but the industry pours money into women selling sex and gangster/drill rap is no accident.
Eh.....J Cole has a whole roster of artists under him but none of them blow. Is that an agenda or do people NOT FEEL their ART??? Kendrick be out the mix for a couple of years then pops back out, and Drake rides the trends to stay in the mix. It ain't really a movement behind them. Matter of fact, their ain't even a movement behind Lauryn. That's why it be one offs like that IMO. Rap is all expression, positive and negative. I just think folks focus on the negative because it provokes a more potent response. Labels, streaming sites, etc. are the platforms and IMO all they can do is put disclamiers and advisory warinings. Can't expect TV, Internet, etc. to raise the babies and if you allow that then that's a reflection of the individuals family and indirectly the wider community.
@devilinthedetails8350 __ I don't feel the point was that profound actually. Makes for good table talk. These artist managed to carve their own space in the musical universe. Some of this is being in the right place at the right time in musical history. It's also a matter of having that unique (It) factor like a four leaf clover out of so many 3 leaves.
You can’t just manufacture another Outkast or Lauryn Hill
So it's the Industry's fault that black artist make the choice to make ignorant music??
@@carlrice1774The problem is that the major labels (there are only 3 at the very top, all run by white men), spend millions marketing the ignorant music. Of course if you spend that much to market the music it’s gonna be popular. Every race has it’s groups of ignorant people. You think if they were offering white opioid addicts and methheads money to rap they wouldn’t do it……
Cube 🌎✊🏾👑🐐... ED stop the 🧢. Just admit that you’re not on that level with Cube,REN or Doc with the story telling..
People forget that eazy e wasn’t a rapper til Dre and them came around.
Stop being complicated you could be hood and live in a decent household. Keep the streets out your house hold up street always moving no matter where it is. Black is blue and blue is red and green is a go stop being misled we won at heart positive. One🤔
Eazy banged
Ren banged
Quik banged
King-T banged
Snoop banged
Kurupt banged
South Central Cartel banged
Eiht banged
Mack 10 banged
WC banged
Coolio banged
Tray-Deee banged
Nipsey banged
YG banged
Boo Yaa Tribe banged
Etc…
Though some of these acts came later, Ed doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The only popular hardcore west coast artists that didn’t bang were Cube and Dre.
Daz banged
WC banged
Eastsidaz
BG Knockoutt
Geechi Gotti
The list goes on and on
Exactly & Cube didn't Bang but Grew up in one of the most dangerous sections of South Central. He grew up in the 100s in the Westmont section and if you are from LA you know how active it is over there Enemies colliding everywhere.
Don't forget Chuck Taylor, Game brought the West back from life support
And Pac. He didn't bang.. or Too Short.
@@lusciousmayweather8385 Correct. I grew up off of Crenshaw and Jefferson in the 80s. Near where BITH and Menace were filmed, basically.
Ed doesn't know what he's talking about, Suge played football and was from the neighborhood, he wasn't into street stuff, Easy and Ren were actually in the streets, Ed has been good, but he's wrong on this one
He been wrong from the moment he opened his mouth soon as he said nwa was poison and wu tang was positive he was an absolute joke
Eazy wasn't big time stop it 😂.
When did selling small packs of weed make you El Chapo. Eazy knew people and was selling weed for them 😂😂
Suge wasnt rapping #1 so it is different...but even if he was, hes names been floating around in success as having involvement in murders with law enforcement. Hell Snoop went to trial for it and Deathrow glorified it if anything. E's name aint never been on some murder type stuff only drug dealing and that ceast when he became a rapper.
Brah you really don’t know your Hip Hop history to be saying Surge wasn’t banging
@@dealz5197He was selling coke and he was coppin keys
You didn't have a potato alligator souffle but hey? And Eazy was definitely in the streets. Poor parenting is the downfall
If you were born from 1975 up to 1985 and you can’t recite “I got it made” word for word you cannot watch this interview
Don't nobody care bout that b.s.
@@jordanflores5687🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫,pls,thx..
@@jordanflores5687😂😂😂
The arrogance of some people that you could question whose real from Los Angeles. When you're not even from Los Angeles yourself.😂
Ed was on the East Coast n met these guys after they were enjoying the fruit of popularity.. They was not goin to stay mean muggin after receiving love from people and then money after that..
We all know Eazy E and Ren were out there throwing up sets but remember there was a code out there at one time.. So once they got on it was to represent but don't do anything that will put u back on the streets..
Mr Cheeks wasnt rapping about stuff negating his lifestyle. He wasnt a gangster but he was out there. I went to Jr High with him. I knew his family.
At this point i think Special Ed is saying shit for clout cause when NWA was rapping they was rapping what they live and what they saw in the streets before them rapping..
@@irvingtorres5316exactly.. and that gives you the right to rap about it.
So was Brother Eazy E.......
Everyone in Flatbush knows Ed got beat up EVERY TIME he came outside as a teenager. He's not gangsta, so why even speak on others?
CAP. Smh.
Say That Ed!!!!...Great Point!!!......
I hear you Spesh however, Eazy E was mos def about that life, Kelly Park Compton Crip.
Ren was out there too now the rest of em were rapping bout their environment which entertainment does play a major part. Reality Rap.
Schoolly D the Godfather of Gangsta Rap but OG Ice T took it further brought it to west coast. Kool G Rap the Godfather of the Trap, sorry T.I.P. trap drums are originally a NYC sound.
totally get ya but not so much the drums but the content, yes. crack hit them so hard they lived the trap life before it was named by tip.
Right.....
Eazy & Ren Kelly Park Crips. Cube grew up in South Central Neighborhood Crips. I think they qualified to rap about thier enviroment. Ed do you still Got It Made ?
Good shit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was a great conversation.
We need more discussions like this one. Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Brother Eazy E (rip) was really in the streets for before he changed his life and invested in the music business like Brother Master P.....
@@trentonjenkins2243Ice Cube wasn't
Mecca disputed his own argument. He said that people are more attracted to negativity in music but yet he points out the success of Lauren Hill and Outkast who were more popular then your average gangster rapper.
He really didn’t if you actually listen. They’re in a minority, not the majority
@@lafairweath3 No i actually listened. Also they push more Gangster rappers so of course more gangstar rappers are gonna do more big hits. The same year NWA dropped, Rob Base dropped a big hit. In the 90`s at least, No gangster rappers sold more then first albums of MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and the Fugees in World Wide sales.
Everyone knows Eazy E was off the porch. Ed you bugging.
it's grown ass man called Gat Murder on here and yaĺ talking about being positive?
At the end of the video, maths own song, the lyrics basically talking about the greatest feeling was holding his own gun.
It's all relative tho. They come from that, and it seems that they now understand some of the things that might've shaped their way of looking at life as youngins. It's self awareness. And Just because someone highlights something that might be deemed negative to some doesn't mean that they themselves are 100% removed from it. We all have our battles and are taking it one day at a time.
I know what a stupid stupid name 😂😂
How the F*ck does he know what they were doing before rap?!?!?
Good conversation
“Cookie cutter image” whoa!🤯 I def gotta run with that phrase!!😳💯
Peace to NWA. Street poets and told the truth about what was going on around them. Peace to the West Coast and West Coast Hip Hop.
"You don't have to die to be famous..." A truth has just been told...
Easy e was a character in this MASONIC MUSIC entertainment INDUSTRY
he now plays the character of Marc 7 in Jurassic 5
How can this conversation be had, without KRS?
I respect Special Ed, but Eazy E and M.C. Ren was really in these streets. I live in Compton, those two dudes were really active
Please "NO MORE bust down rollie for the hell of it" song.
I respect math but that song in the beginning is 🗑️🚮.
What’s the name of the song again? You should play it on all streaming platforms. It’s the least we could do even if you don’t like it. We are getting premium content for free!
@@ddsron17 Just not that one, the rest I actually like but everybody got their likes. I like the butterfly 🦋 titled song at the end though. That shit is fire 🔥 to me.
and these gangsta kept thier family intact for so many years,
I swear that dude got to remind us he been to jail in every clip I watch
They made some great points here I always thought the same about Lauryn hill! There are no artist similar to get being marketed and she was more successful then most rappers
RIP Erasmus Hall. That B41 ride was no joke. It was so rowdy on that bus, sometimes you had to get off early when it wasn't even your stop.😂🤣
Why are you saying RIP Erasmus, when it's still there. They didn't close that school down.
@@MrApplebee The original Erasmus Hall closed down. It's a bunch of different schools at that location now.
@@jaywill4ever I didn’t even know that. I’m familiar with a building housing multiple schools. It’s strange that I’ve been walking by it all this time & the school itself no longer exists.
Eazy E and Ren were in the life. Yella,Dre and Cube grew up and lived in South Central during the worse gang periods.
I love this dude be he's going out of his way to crap on West Coast. Bottom line, he got overshadowed and disappeared outside NY. When I say adjust...there several rappers east, west,south and Midwest that were successful without doing "Gangsta" rap.
Totally agree why he wasn’t saying that back then 🤔
Correction my dude, Dre lived in Compton, Cube lived in L.A. in the hundreds...
How is he crapping on the west coast when he`s talking about one rap group and make no mention of the west coast? Was Game craping on the east coast when he diss Jay-Z? And Ice Cube and Dre growing up in a rough neighborhood don`t make them Gangsta. And i heard Eazy E was really just a drug dealer. I don`t know if that`s true but if he was just a drug dealer then that don`t make him gaansta.
@@T1VISUALSYou think Special Ed wasn't about that life?
@@T1VISUALSStop ya'll scared of Eses
From Michigan hip hop needs to be respected at all levels. Hip hop is why there is a drink champs math hoffa shows and other sources.
If NWA was from New York then Ed would be with they style ...I can smell it.
Ed a sucker mad his career didn't do shit
New York wordplay is so technical you almost forget they glorifying violence you try to find the definition of the words they using. Bruh we are getting an over saturated gangsta and violence glorified rap music. I’m not against you but I would hate for somebody to harm you cause they’re influenced by this particular violent style of rap music, but anyway live on brotha and happy holidays✊🏾
@@gollygee2385 Word to everything you said, I wouldn't won't to see anyone hurt from anytype of art. I'm fifty year old NWA had funny songs as well as hardcore music the reality of the lyrics were so str8 forward, the impact was undeniable. Thanks for your time it's very valuable! Blessings.... shout out to MATH and my exp opi.
As great as we are in Essence (as a people), we have been reduced from Gods to niggas. We love the hell we’re in (generally speaking), so we go extra hard at keeping that reality in the Now!
And of course the “powers that be” most definitely have a well established system to promote and facilitate the “agenda”!
Nwa albums was more story telling about the upbringing & surrounding of LA more than how living they was living
Special Ed just be talking. How tf would you know how they were living and what they were doing?
Right and for him to say he knew they wasn’t
I’ve seen Dr Dre and Ice Cube admit that they were not living that life. It’s documented.
@@MrCbwTV that’s fine but he needs to specify names. Don’t say none of them was living that life cause Eazy was and that’s documented.
@@MrCbwTVEazy was really in the streets like that. Also, Ed is a certified west coast hater.
@@MrCbwTV they were talking about their environment from a first person approach just like all artist did…. But they did go through a lot of stuff they talked about like the police brutality, family members on drugs… loosing friends and relative to gang violence etc
As a being on the planet let me inform the masses… “miseducation” is the best album in the galaxy…. Total body of work
When a discussion is had, it's purpose is to bring about change. It's to put a plan in place to effectively implement that change so things can get better. Putting out positive music from everyone the same way they were foced to put out negative music will eventually have the desired effect. It's a long term solution with great benefits for our people. It most certainly will not happen overnight, but it will happen. Murder/sex/drugs/ gang life sells.
I bet they won’t bring up the destruction that’s being caused by pushing all these sassy ass agendas.
And yo ed I always liked your one album if you dropped more they never we never got it on the West Coast. I do agree that hip-hop has been weaponized against the community but it goes far deeper than NWA
Stop blaming the labels don't participate in your own destruction
Eazy E was the gangster and the grew others outside of the group, but the advisable members weren't of the streets
Growing up in LA county unless you are in the affluent areas you are affiliated. Even non gang members had to deal with gang wars. So you're affiliated even if not active. Easy E was a gang member, mc ren was a gang member so to say they were nice is a low key diss. They were kids brother creating shit as they went. Like the Black Panthers there was no road map. They were broke brothers trying to get paid. The real question is was Jerry Heller Mossad or C..A? Don't blame the wolf for trying to eat, survive blame the brains behind it
Mec is right about Lauryn hill …but she was super inconsistent and disappeared Too many years to reinforce her imprint on the game … she has become a parody and a former shell of herself …while Megan the stallion is super consistent and successful 🤔
Here we go blaming other people. The companies are responding to a market. Look in the mirror.
'IT AINT WHERE U FROM .. IT'S WHERE U AT' ..
Banging on Wax. Was real life gangster rapping ED
Yall need to talk the real G's like WC, Mack 10, Spice 1.... ED... u love it or hate it
I hate how New Yorkers always worrying about if NWA were real gangstas. Was Public Enemy a real Black Power organization like the Panthers? No, they were a musical act and mimicked the look of the Panthers and other organizations..
the West Coast didn't have a Sister Souljah.
GBE was our NWA & was really wit what they rapped
Drake and Kendrick do talk gangster they just do it in the articulate way it's not straight to the point like NWA
Nobody takes Drake serious regardless of what he says about being a gangsta. And Kendrick do not glorify that lifestyle. He usually touches on it to bring about awareness.
“Kinda fond of honda scooters got seventy four
I got the riches to fulfill my needs
Got land in the sand of the west indies
Even got a little island of my very own
I gotta frog a dog with a solid gold bone”
Ed wasn’t living this neither. So he should probably hush. Forever.
He was rapping about what he aspired to own. His point is why rap about negativity if you aren't even living it.
Dude is shook to say who’s not gangster straight up. Room quiet af
So Math you’re going to keep shoving your terrible music on us until we stop pushing play? Bet!😂😂
It's called Show-Business with an emphasis on the Business.........the music world is no different than the movie/tv world, fashion world, book/magazine world, art world etc.......
Am I tripping or are those different barber chairs from older episodes
Special ed speaking facts ice cube Dre yella wasn’t street
Ice cube who wrote most of the lyrics for NWA was a storyteller who told about his environment. If anything Ice Cube was along the lines of Public Enemy with his message.
@@tyarchie5143 NWA was still frauding
@@tyarchie5143noooooo he wasn’t lol you people really are deluded lol
@AI-yc8om yes he was. After ice cube left NWA. Have you even listened to his music. I come from that era so I grew up with it all. I'm from the west coast but I listened to all the stuff that came out then.

Why is there so such attention placed on "gangster rappers" there are plenty of successful MCs that talk positivity.
To say that Suge was a real gang member and that Ren and Eazy weren’t might be the wildest thing quoted on MEO.
Right! I’m shocked Ren ain’t call out Ed for that shit
if you change your searches the algorithm will follow
Speaking on people history that u don't even know personally is crazy. Dude been on a west coast hating crusade.
Why is it hate?? Please explain why this is hate? NWA a group financed and marketed by people from Jewish descent. Is HATE???? You are still under the spell. NWA was nothing more than a joke!! Gangsters gangster???? Have read the lyrics to that song?
Has one on that panel ever heard of MUMU FRESH?
Special Ed is really special ed class certified. Easy E MC are Kelly Park Crips.
NWA were more on the Black Panther vide than we were.- Chuck D.
Is it me or that barber shop got smaller it use to look like it had way more space
To Mecca's point, our natural bent is probably towards the negative vs positive. Even the good book says we love darkness more than light (John 3:19) in our unregenerate state. Add the profit motivation and I understand why record companies seemed to push more of the negative. I think there's a place for the descriptive (i.e., Melle Mell the Message) of harsh realities or even "glorification" (preferably done well technique wise) in a free speech/fee market society. That said, ca 88-90 there was so much balance from party to braggadocious to gangsta to pro-black to hippie, etc. Glad I came of age in that era.
When I hear cats says actors kill in movies what’s the problem. The problem is there’s balance in movies. Every other genre in movies makes just as much if not more than action movies. So there’s always a balance. Unfortunately, with rap music past 1991 there’s never been any balance. The bullsh*t gets all of the focus and everything else is considered underground or irrelevant. So are our kids seeing the whole picture & true reality or just what the industry wants us to see?
I think it’s been pretty obvious.
Ed’s Encle must be Alonzo Williams😂
The explore page suggestions are based on what YOU have decided to watch….
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Satan has influence with the son of Adam and the angel has influence. As for the influence of Satan, he promises evil and denies the truth. As for the influence of the angel, he promises goodness and affirms the truth. Whoever finds this goodness, let him know that it is from Allah and let him praise Allah. Whoever finds something else, let him seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.” Then, the Prophet recited the verse, “Satan threatens you with poverty and commands evil, but Allah promises you forgiveness and favor from him.” (2:268)
Stop with the haterizm they always hate on the westcoast
Somebody still mad about the West Coast changing the music to that Gangsta shit 🤣
Eazy -E Kelly Park Crip Mc Ren Crip
Lauren came through in a group, ppl always forget that. With 2 guys.
she was an child actor Pras is her family
yes yes y’all we all from Flat Bush the Bush ( and that Howie Tee beat ) jeesh !
Special Ed saying that NWA is CB4
Would Ed feel better if they actually did the things they rapped about?
We already know that the industry puts out what they want but it’s what we support which is why the “gansta” drill music gets pushed. Once we stop supporting it and put more into the other artists, things will change.
That's right 👑✨🎯 Was they doing that before the entertainment life. Were they really already in it. The ones I know wasn't taking about it let alone rapping about it. 💯🔥👊🏾Math
So what
Eric was a SputhSide Crip i think or 8ball
Kelley park Crip**
It ain’t where u from its where u at luv from brooknam
So i get the message of musicians not having to be gangsta...then the video ends abruptly to a gun shot and someone rapping about the feeling of a gun in his hand. weird.
Loooooooooool exactly
Eazy e was a hustler not a killer or anything of that matter 😂😂😂😂😂 he was just a hustler
Exactly.
Even if it is an "agenda" you still can't fully hold that genre of music responsible for the destruction of Black Community and or hip-hop. People have what is called "free will". People make the decision on how they want to live their lives. And you can blast all the positive music in the world from the biggest speaker 24/7.. still people are doing what they're gonna do. I knew family that grew up and church. Father and Mother were clergy. Daughters and Sons are nice, kind, respectful. Yet the daughters became prostitutes and the sons became criminals within their early 20s
