N.W.A. releases “Straight Outta Compton” as a single today in ‘88 — after recording the album for a mere $12,000 “We were just trying to tell our truth,” said Ice Cube. “We had no idea it would become a battle cry for people who felt ignored, disrespected, or brutalized. But that’s what it became.”
A birthday worth celebrating.
Maybe we should send Sara Eisen there
Wow, now I really feel old. I was 14 when it came out. 😩
I was 15. Where did the time go?

I wonder how mega cube is feeling now when he sees the streets full of military.
