To be honest...in the late 80s in los Angeles I was listening to all new York rap . We didn't have any local guys to listen to.. somewhere around 1988 we started hearing the boys in the hood EVERYWHERE.. their studio was near my house in Torrance.. we would hear their songs at the swapmeet.. they even would hang out at our mall in Torrance and we would all meet up at the mall just to follow NWA around.. finally we had our own rap stars to call our own 💯💯💯
Hands down. Have to give it to my philosophy because in the '80s they were trying to push a narrative and then this brother just came out with the knowledge. like all my brothers eat chicken and watermelon
There was no denying Eazy E & NWA in 1989. The timing of dropping both records was perfect. I went to see the Straight outta Compton tour it was so hyped.

"Raaaaaw I'ma give it to ya, with no trivia, We're like coc.... straight from Bolivia!" ~U-God~ I'm actually from Compton and witnessed all of this. That "Straight out of Compton" line was an anthem for us.
Thanks for sharing this story Kenny Parker. I never would have guessed that you or KRS were fans of NWA. I remember hearing back in the 90's that KRS had put D Nice out of BDP because he did a song with Too $hort on his second album. But now I know that was probably bullshit. I read that in a magazine somewhere. Good story. TY!
That's crazy Kenny because I bought the bootleg Straight Outta Compton tape in 1988 close to its release in West Philly on 52nd Street. I think the We Want Eazy song and EZ Duz It Album may have been out. I was only 12 so I may not know the pulse of the city but to me I think Philly was up on NWA. I know they was matter of fact because their Straight Outta Compton tour came to Philly in 88 or 89 and I went to the show at the old Spectrum stadium where the Sixers used to play. It was a sellout and jam packed and there was mad fights. It may have been the best show I went to. Only thing I will say is Philly may have been up on NWA but we wasn't into Too Short yet because unfortunately he got booed. Since New York was only 90 min up the turnpike and the capital of Hip Hop I would've thought NY was up on NWA. I was only 12 so maybe my perception of the year was off but I'm almost sure it was 89 or 88.
What's dope about this is how a few years later KRS did a song with Tim Dog, while KRS is lovin NWA's music n all that, he still does the track with an MC actively trying to go to war with everybody out in LA. That's that shit! 🤣
Dopeat intro lines for me: Let it roll. Get bold. I just can't hold back or fold coz I'm the man with soul ... > Big Daddy Kane. That whole set of opening bars were off the chain.
KRS one was my first favorite rapper. I was born in 1983 in Dallas,TX. My father was born and raised in Canarsie Brooklyn. I remember all the bro tapes till this day. Much love and respect. Pioneers. Because of you guys I love rapping my a$$ off till this day. BDP
My favorite intros: “i got you stuck off the realness we be the infamous official QueensBridge” and “i’m your idol your highest title your numero uno -> i’m not a Puerto Rican but I’m speaking 🗣️ so that you know” Plus the beat from “Shook One’s Part II” contained the opening theme song to that cartoon Courages Cat & Minute Mouse [Fact ✅ that please]
The D.O.C. actually wrote "We Want Eazy", "Eazy-er Said Than Dunn" & Eazy's verse on "Straight Outta Compton"... (Fun fact: The D.O.C. & Eazy-E share the same middle name, which is "Lynn")
That's the first time I have seen your video it is great. KRS 1 and NWA are living legends. The music was great 👍 and you didn't have people mumbling back then.
My older brother is the biggest hip hop head I know told me about this video fing loved remember listening to death certificate in my cassette tape when I was 7 years old , loved this
Couple things: It’s odd that he’d heard of Eazy-E before NWA when “Boyz N the Hood” and “Dope Man” were both on the NWA and the Posse album. Not only that, but Straight Outta Compton dropped before Eazy’s solo debut as well. As for the Jheri Curls. Kurtis Blow, Doug E Fresh, Kangol Kid from UTFO, etc were all popularly wearing curls before NWA stepped on the scene. Guess Kenny wasn’t listening to them either.
I LOVE these vids, getting this added perspective, I first heard BDP at school in the hall ways. Dudes was battling B-BOXING Poetry! It was the first B-Box battles I didn't OWN - I was like- WTF is that Beat!!!?? BDP? Head to the lab to find out and BAM!!!! This LP was ROCKING!!!
I don't know about opening lines but many of the dopest lines altogether came from KRS and BDP. Much respect, Kenny Parker for showing love for the West Coast. It goes both ways and intelligent people are objective.
really surprised to hear you guys hadnt heard them yet by 89, i was spinning hiphop records in a small club in 89 when i got laughed at for not knowing about nwa, but i lived in holland in a small city so it took a while for hiphop records to trickle down there, still the next day it was straight to the recordstore:D straight out of compton is a classic, had an eastcoast sound and rhymestyles imo, cube and ren ripped it and they sampled krsone, good times :) keepm coming Kenny
We didn't know about them in Philly. They were more or less California underground. The records sold a lot by word of mouth and no radio or video play.

Ice Cube said in an interview that Eazy-E’s favourite record was Criminal Minded by BDP. Cube said Eazy loved that record, and would play it all the time in his Suzuki Sidekick

So cool to listen to your experiencing in this RAP and HIP-HOP history...
Thank you, man!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing this story Kenny Parker. I never would have guessed that you or KRS were fans of NWA. I remember hearing back in the 90's that KRS had put D Nice out of BDP because he did a song with Too $hort on his second album. But now I know that was probably bullshit. I read that in a magazine somewhere. Good story. TY!
that song hitin too
That's crazy Kenny because I bought the bootleg Straight Outta Compton tape in 1988 close to its release in West Philly on 52nd Street. I think the We Want Eazy song and EZ Duz It Album may have been out. I was only 12 so I may not know the pulse of the city but to me I think Philly was up on NWA. I know they was matter of fact because their Straight Outta Compton tour came to Philly in 88 or 89 and I went to the show at the old Spectrum stadium where the Sixers used to play. It was a sellout and jam packed and there was mad fights. It may have been the best show I went to. Only thing I will say is Philly may have been up on NWA but we wasn't into Too Short yet because unfortunately he got booed. Since New York was only 90 min up the turnpike and the capital of Hip Hop I would've thought NY was up on NWA. I was only 12 so maybe my perception of the year was off but I'm almost sure it was 89 or 88.
What's dope about this is how a few years later KRS did a song with Tim Dog, while KRS is lovin NWA's music n all that, he still does the track with an MC actively trying to go to war with everybody out in LA. That's that shit! 🤣
So great to meet you at A-1 man and BIG thanks for da shout! 🙏
As soon as you said, "THESE DUDES GOT JHERI CURLS" my 10 years old daughter just busted out laughing 😂😂 she made me keep rewinding it😅
LMAOOOOOO!!!!! Nice!
RIP DJ MARK THE 45 KING
Dopeat intro lines for me: Let it roll. Get bold. I just can't hold back or fold coz I'm the man with soul ... > Big Daddy Kane. That whole set of opening bars were off the chain.
The ad came on at 9:29 and said, “ It ain’t EASY to find a car line..”😂
KRS one was my first favorite rapper. I was born in 1983 in Dallas,TX. My father was born and raised in Canarsie Brooklyn. I remember all the bro tapes till this day. Much love and respect. Pioneers. Because of you guys I love rapping my a$$ off till this day. BDP
It was said that after NWA performed at the Apollo, Jam Master Jay walked up to them and said, "dont worry about that, yall dope."
The greatest opening lines in hip hop YOUR NOW BOUT TO WITNESS THE STRENGTH OF STREET KNOWLEDGE!!!!
“I’m ya idol/the highest title/numero uno…”

My favorite intros: “i got you stuck off the realness we be the infamous official QueensBridge” and “i’m your idol your highest title your numero uno -> i’m not a Puerto Rican but I’m speaking 🗣️ so that you know” Plus the beat from “Shook One’s Part II” contained the opening theme song to that cartoon Courages Cat & Minute Mouse [Fact ✅ that please]
The D.O.C. actually wrote "We Want Eazy", "Eazy-er Said Than Dunn" & Eazy's verse on "Straight Outta Compton"... (Fun fact: The D.O.C. & Eazy-E share the same middle name, which is "Lynn")
I think Dre actually wrote Easier Said the Dunn.
DOC did 'Still Talkin' and 'We want Eazy'
Im the one man army Ason, i never been tooken out i keep MCs lookin out..
It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail, the mic is contacted, I attract clientele
That's the first time I have seen your video it is great. KRS 1 and NWA are living legends. The music was great 👍 and you didn't have people mumbling back then.
Welcome aboard!
"1989!..Another summer, sound of the funky drummer!"
Could you imagine how lucky you would have to be to have Dre produce your first album.
Dre was lucky to have DOC and RBX write his whole record, one of the greatest of all time
He has an ear for talent and music.
My older brother is the biggest hip hop head I know told me about this video fing loved remember listening to death certificate in my cassette tape when I was 7 years old , loved this
Couple things:
It’s odd that he’d heard of Eazy-E before NWA when “Boyz N the Hood” and “Dope Man” were both on the NWA and the Posse album. Not only that, but Straight Outta Compton dropped before Eazy’s solo debut as well.
As for the Jheri Curls. Kurtis Blow, Doug E Fresh, Kangol Kid from UTFO, etc were all popularly wearing curls before NWA stepped on the scene. Guess Kenny wasn’t listening to them either.
One of the greatest opening lines is, 'Allow Me To reintroduced myself, my name is Hove'
I LOVE these vids, getting this added perspective, I first heard BDP at school in the hall ways. Dudes was battling B-BOXING Poetry! It was the first B-Box battles I didn't OWN - I was like- WTF is that Beat!!!?? BDP? Head to the lab to find out and BAM!!!! This LP was ROCKING!!!
I don't know about opening lines but many of the dopest lines altogether came from KRS and BDP. Much respect, Kenny Parker for showing love for the West Coast. It goes both ways and intelligent people are objective.
When you talked about two 15 inch speakers...it reminded me of "love gonna get'cha" base line😂
really surprised to hear you guys hadnt heard them yet by 89, i was spinning hiphop records in a small club in 89 when i got laughed at for not knowing about nwa, but i lived in holland in a small city so it took a while for hiphop records to trickle down there, still the next day it was straight to the recordstore:D
straight out of compton is a classic, had an eastcoast sound and rhymestyles imo, cube and ren ripped it and they sampled krsone, good times :) keepm coming Kenny
We didn't know about them in Philly. They were more or less California underground. The records sold a lot by word of mouth and no radio or video play.

Peace Kenny!! yea that Cube death certificate album was pretty tuff was listening the instrumental Steady Mobbin a couple weeks back, and be true to the game, crazy you were there at the concert when cube took his hat off classic, during that time we had Jackin for beats, and Yo Yo - Don't Play wit my YoYo, all of that time frame made that final arsenio hall show that much better seeing hip hops best, Mc Lyte, Yo Yo classic thank you Kenny and I'm still reelin off the xclan episode crazy to hear that so many gems
Ice Cube said in an interview that Eazy-E’s favourite record was Criminal Minded by BDP. Cube said Eazy loved that record, and would play it all the time in his Suzuki Sidekick
