Original gangstas Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, and the birth of West Coast rap
Book - 2017
"In the late 1980s, the emergence of gangsta rap shifted the epicenter of hip-hop from New York to Los Angeles. N.W.A.'s shocking success led to rivalries between members, backlash from the FBI, politicians, and police, and eventually an all-out war between East and West Coast rappers. In the process, hip-hop burst into mainstream America at a time of immense social change."--
