The most prominent members of the quintet were Dr. Dre [he of Beat/Apple], Ice Cube and Eazy-E, and they distinguished themselves from other rap acts mainly through relentless, jarring profanity. Materialism and braggadocio were already rap staples, but N.W.A. added heavy doses of sadistic sex, misogyny, gun violence and all-round thuggery. Typical are the lyrics to a song on their second album that invoke gang rape of a 14-year-old “preacher’s daughter.”
It is what it is . . .

What about Motown music (Detroit), Philadelphia Soul and Harlem, New York during the Jazz Age?

I loved "The Life of Riley" TV show and Bill Bendix!

My dad was from his generation and I know that he would not believe what has become of his Country now.

#BlackLivesMatter Caught On Camera Doing Something ‘Disgusting’ To Cops Who Were HELPING Them

Just hours after a Texas sheriff’s deputy was gunned down in cold blood...

Norvell Rose August 31, 2015 at 6:39am

They shouted in unison, “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon” — an obvious anti-police chant clearly calling for violence against law enforcement officers. Yet a leader of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest march in Minnesota over the weekend claimed there was nothing threatening about the action by the BLM activists whose disruption of the Minnesota State Fair caused cancellation of some events.

As WCCO-TV reported on Saturday, the march and anti-cop rhetoric upset rank and file officers on the St. Paul police department, many of whom actually provided escort and security for the marchers. A spokesman for the officers called the action of the BLM protesters “disgusting,” saying it created a dangerous atmosphere for law enforcement personnel.
