Hey my lilies 🌺
When we talk about inspiration, we can’t leave out music. Music has always been more than sound—it’s an expression of truth, struggle, and freedom. In this episode of Ink&Impact, we’re reflecting on one of the most influential groups in hip hop history: N.W.A. From Compton’s raw reality to shaping a culture, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and Ice Cube left behind legacies that teach us about following dreams, standing on values, and sparking belief in others.

We’ll dive into their beginnings, their music timelines, their impact, the Straight Outta Compton biopic, and how holding onto your vision can inspire generations—even when the world says no.

on how culture, creativity, and faith golide to shape our lives.

Music has always been more than sound. Its testimony, its memory,

(01:08):
its resistance. The way we listen to it and live
through it expresses who we are. And there's something about
reality music music that tells the truth that makes us
feel closer to the artists. And if we're talking about

(01:31):
truth and hip hop, we have to talk about NBA,
one of the most influential and controversial groups and music history.
From nineteen eighty seven to nineteen ninety one, they shocked
Middle America with raw, political charge lyrics and fearless attitude.

(01:55):

a legacy that outlives you. Let's get into it.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
You don't care what I'm fighting for.

Speaker 9 (04:23):
Okay, I already don't know what I wanna do with
my life, and it definitely ain't sitting in some cubicle
taking orders on a bullshit ask job.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I'm shut out.

Speaker 8 (04:35):
People used to tell me I was too young.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
When I had you.

Speaker 8 (04:39):
Said I wouldn't be shit, said you wouldn't be shit.
Now I worked my ass off. Together's here and I
refuse to let you throw it all away.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
To understand NWA, we have to understand where they came from.
Nineteen eighties Compton, imagine this. The crack epidemic was raging,
gangs controlled corners, unemployment was high. The lapd under Darryl

(05:35):
Gates at the time used the military eyes policing. Young
black men were constantly stopped, harassed, profiled, and most of
that more likely has not stopped. But it wasn't paranoia,

(05:56):
it was life.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
This was a soil.

Speaker 10 (06:01):
N w.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
A grew from out of pain, out of pressure, out
of survival.

Speaker 11 (06:31):
To do Now I was spensing woman fon capabilities and
now I'm living in the correction, no facilities because some
I don't agree what I would do this.

Speaker 12 (06:40):
I can't straight men say like a Buddhist and I'm
trying to play on my behavior.

Speaker 10 (06:44):
It's a meditary, but my technique is very necessary.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Claim it on ice cube.

Speaker 13 (06:49):
You've got to set it.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Get phone kicks.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
We ain't gotta something. Get a predicant, add it on
the top. Then it'll make your things something something.

Speaker 10 (06:56):
Just take on me.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Play too much stomach because it's stay on like this one.

Speaker 11 (07:00):

sy to sing this drop silence English. Even if yellow

Speaker 4 (07:11):
You what don't smoke you. Don't do that because it's
going to keep a brother. Brain damis the brain damage

Speaker 11 (07:16):
Don't manage nothing but making a sucking you weak wolves,
don't be another.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Sea Wolves c.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
S.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
What I love about that track is how it reminds
us that music can be rebellion. Express yourself, speak your truth.
Don't anyone else silence you. That's what we're doing, given

(07:57):
a voice to the voiceless. Drey was already balancing fatherhood
and his love for Djaying Easy was hustling, running the
streets but dreaming bigger.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
I Sky was still in.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
High school, scribbling rhymes in a notebook like they were weapons.
DJ Yella and mc wren brought the glue, the sound,
the fire, young adults trying to figure out life just

(08:35):
like us, but instead of suppressing their rage, they put
it on wax and the world couldn't look away.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
But of course, motherfucker's that's showing out. Niggas fucking up.

Speaker 10 (09:20):
They want a buck, makes a man cut them in

Speaker 4 (09:50):

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Boy, you can't cluck with.

Speaker 8 (09:55):
Me, so win them in your neighborhood.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
You better come this ice que.

Speaker 11 (10:01):
Believe I'm starting when I come straight.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
So let's start with Dre aka Andre Young. Before n
w A, Dre was part of the world class wrecking
crew making club hits, but he wasn't satisfied. Like we

(10:35):
heard in the beginning of the movie, he was only
making like fifty dollars, so he wanted to make music
that reflected reality, not just fun.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
With n w A, Dre.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Became the architect of their sound. Heavy beats, hard bass,
smooth production. Dre knew how to make anger sound beautiful.
Now album Timeline with NWA straight out of Compton that

(11:13):
came out nineteen eighty eight, Niggas Fell Life nineteen ninety one,
now his solo career, The Chronic nineteen ninety two, two thousand.
He I'm sorry, uh he did two thousand and one,

(11:33):
and then he and that was in nineteen ninety nine,
and then he did Compton recently in two thousand fifteen,
so that's his timeline.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
I felt like with Dre he gave little I think
of his craft for himself.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
You know, he'd usually he's more so like a giving
of his sound, and I felt like that was something
that I couldn't ignore throughout, Like he was more willing
to just give the music away when it came down
to the songs or like the beats, he more so

(12:21):
wanted to give that to artists. So I can see
why he doesn't have like a list, you know, but
with his list, you can't go wrong with what he's
given out and what he's given to others, so we

(12:42):
know he's very gifted.

Speaker 16 (12:52):
Sloop doggy dog get back to drink and thus up
and didn't make a drink, So bad goose. If I
can bust like a bubble popping and lone beets together.

Speaker 4 (13:03):

I'm back till the leure at pains.

Speaker 16 (13:17):
Perfection is perfecticed on a landam on the stage from
the young cheeks perspect shit.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
And before me digging a bitch. I have to find
the kind of perceptive you never know.

Speaker 16 (13:26):
She could be earning her man and learning her man
ain't at the same time turning her man.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
That you know rain with this ship. So Jenny ain't
no pussy good enough to get her while I'm a

and that you looked up and holds.

Speaker 16 (13:39):
No have what failed will if it's good enough to
get both of a proper junk and take a small
piece of some of that funky stuff.

Speaker 11 (13:45):
It's like this isn't like that, and like this sat up,
it's like that, like this isn't like that, and it's
like this isn't like that, and like this set.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Up Drake Creek till I'm like like a prae.

Speaker 11 (13:56):
I'm freaking, But I tell them they got killed because
more people could sheep and that was tough for me
to make my impression felt. So sit back, relax and
strap on your seat. Such a numbok bent on the

Speaker 4 (14:34):
So it makes that sub.

Speaker 6 (14:39):
The chronic.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
In ninety two introduced us a g funk laid back
beats with heavy funk samples. Then came two thousand and
one in ninety nine, giving us steal Dre and forgot
about Dre classics truly I love 'em, and years later

(15:05):
at Compton in two thousand fifteen, tying his legacy back.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
To where it all began. Dra also built.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Empires death Row Records, Aftermath Entertainment Without Drey, we don't
get Snoop tupac Eminem fifty cent Kendrick and in two

(15:38):
thousand fourteen, he made history with the biggest deal three
billion dollars with Apple for Beats by Drey, the biggest
deal in music history. Dre teaches us this, evolve, be

(16:04):
patient with your vision. Don't trace trends, create them. From
DJ to producer to mogle. Dre kept building and that's
the mark of visionary.

Speaker 12 (20:14):
A holy light, dread to supplying the beach because Immergate's
gonna haven can never believe to put it all back.

Speaker 8 (20:21):
In the guard.

Speaker 12 (20:22):
Didn't want gonna make your act. What wasn't ever you
should have known by now Easy does Easy cass to.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Talk about.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Eric Right aka motherfucking Easy E, the godfather of Gainst rib.
He wasn't supposed to be the rapper. He was a hustler,
the businessman, the guy funding ruthless records. But when q

(20:57):
Robe boys in the hood, no one else could deliver
like Easy, his high pitched delivery, his charisma. He became
the face of NWA. So let's go through his timeline.
So Easy doesn't the track that you just heard nineteen

(21:20):
eighty eight that hit our ears. I wasn't even born
by one five zero Home for the Sick nineteen ninety two.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
I was just too.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
It's on with dre on eighty seven killer. That was
in ninety three, and if you notice his hits were
back to back at least.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
Two year mark. Now straight off the hit, straight off
the streets.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
Of motherfucking Compton. Now that one it was post humans,
uh humans, post humans. I don't even know what that
even is supposed to mean. So I'm not even probably
gonna keep that. But yeah, I'm not really sure what

(22:23):
that even means. So let's look that up, I guess,
and see what that means, because what the heck posthumans,
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
Let's see.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
Post humans. Ah okay, I'm assuming occurring award or appearing
after the death of the originator. Oh okay, so okay,

(23:03):
So I guess that was supposed to be. I should
have known that was what that meant, because I am assuming. Yeah, yeah,

(23:24):
I was right, yeah, okay, So that was random. That's
how I am with my thoughts. That was writing in
real time. So as I learned a little bit more
about him and his albums and how they came out,
cause I like to learn about stuff like that, about
the artists, their birthday, the death they're passing, the deaths

(23:47):
between the albums before the death of so his he
died March twenty six, so this album was nineteen ninety five.
For this to be able to come out posthumous means
it was gonna be released after his death. So I'm
assuming that's what happened.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
They released it.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
Other his death, even though it was pre recorded. So
there we go.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
We learned something together right there. Besides that, behind the
scenes was Jerry Hiller's management division. Uh in Qube left first,

(24:34):
so we already know that Dre left later, Uh, both
citing money disputes with Jerry Hiller in their division. In
his division, Easy stuck with Heller and that loyalty created
fact fractions.

Speaker 6 (24:47):
That never fully healed.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
And we all know that in the movie He kind
of they displayed that perfectly in regards to Howl. Heller
was actually being able to to kind of pull the
wool over Easy's eyes.

Speaker 6 (25:02):
And then came tragedy.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
In nineteen ninety five, Easy announces UH that he had aids.
Weeks later, he was gone at just thirty years old.
His death shocked the world, so I definitely know for
sure it made an impact on most of us, including myself,
to know such a young influence to us as a generation,

(25:33):
not even just for younger pay people in general, but
for the black community. He meant something and Easy shows
us that loyalty is powerful, but loyalty without wisdom.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
Can cost you everything. His story is both.

Speaker 5 (25:50):
Inspiring and heartbreaking, a reminder of how fragile life can be.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
And Uh, you been.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
The call in you all day? Sit down, JA, what
is this all about?

Speaker 18 (26:21):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (26:21):
The groupie executive assistant you even go to college, and
it's so much fucking smarter than us.

Speaker 13 (26:31):
Sitting down jam he saying about to me, jear, it's

(26:57):
about shoot and you can stop. I feel like you
ain't never done nothing wrong.

Speaker 15 (27:01):
Man.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I know that your upset. I understand, but I'm asking you,
I'm advising, take a breath, okay, I'm don't look at
the paper work.

Speaker 20 (27:12):
Eric, you can stop giving as of that. Here's just
about to happen. I'm gonna get n w A back together,
and you ain't gonna have nothing to do.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
With it this time. How the fuck can you even
say something like that? What the fuck is going on
with you? Man? I know what's good for you.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
I know what's good for ruthless, and we have worked
up a trust after years of hard work, and that
trust is our foundation.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Eric. I don't give a ship. Eric, you're a glousy man,
are you okay? Trust? Trust as a motherfucker?

Speaker 21 (27:56):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Let me ask you something, Eric. If what I'm doing
is so illegal, how come I've never been sued?

Speaker 14 (28:05):
If I'm such a fucking thief, such a liar, such
a motherfucker, how come nobody's ever come to collect?

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Because this is business and this is how it works,
and it's not always pretty. No. Do I cover my
own ass? Do I cover my own end? Absolutely?

Speaker 4 (28:21):
But don't you dare fucking tell me that I have
not taken care of you.

Speaker 14 (28:25):
Don't you fucking tell me that I have not had
your back from day one day one?

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Is this taking care of me?

Speaker 14 (28:39):
But you're fucking kidding me. It's taking care of the
whole fucking thing. It's business and this is how it works.
Have I covered my end? Do I cover my ass? Absolutely?
But don't you dare fucking tell me that I have
not taken care of you?

Speaker 2 (28:55):
This business tool, Yes, this is business. This is how
fucked up.

This is an important colony.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
What are you doing here, homeless.

Speaker 15 (31:55):
Home man?

Speaker 8 (31:56):
Not even more nothing.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Put the hands off talking, chat the fuck.

Speaker 8 (32:05):
Up ru here. Look these boys, they all grew up
on this global out set on my side. That ladies

Speaker 4 (32:17):

Speaker 23 (32:20):
You ain't got to talk to my moms like that

Speaker 2 (32:31):

Speaker 8 (32:54):
You got cards down all them anyway, pick your.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Ship up out here, that whole.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
Oh say.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
Jackson aka ice Cube, the pen the Poet, The power
Cube wrote much austraatic compting. His words turned anger into anthems.

(33:48):
When he left n w A and eighty nine people
doubted him, But in ninety one he dropped no Vassiline,
one of the most brutal distracts ever, and it proved
Hube was unstoppable. Now his timeline America's Most Wanted nineteen ninety,

(34:18):
Death Certificate nineteen ninety one, The Predator nineteen ninety two,
Lethal Injection nineteen ninety three. Later, War in Peace, Life,
now Cry later, Everything's corrupt.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
Do you see the pattern here? Do you see why
I left ice Cube for the end? Do you see why?

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Like these details matter, the details of how much someone
puts into their craft.

Speaker 6 (34:57):
He was back to back to back to back. Every year.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
He made sure to not deny his presence in this industry,
and it showed in his work.

Speaker 6 (35:11):
Every year.

Speaker 5 (35:12):
He made sure he was in somebody's list for UH
album drops and he made sure that that it was
every year. And that's what I I I love about
someone's work ethic and what they love is first for
their passion. Not saying anything about Drey or about Easy,

(35:36):
because we know the difference between the two or should
I say the three. Dre was behind the scenes. Drey
was the producer, but he had developed multiple companies and
his craft in his ear. He developed a product that
made sure to be seen off rip because of who

(35:59):
he was, because of his craft. So all three of
these men definitely gave their presence to how it made
them individually stand out. And Cube's solo career cemented him
as one of hip hop's sharpest voices. So then when

(36:20):
he flipped the script, let's talk about that, when he
flipped the script and conquered Hollywood with his movies like
Boys in the Hood.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
Friday Barbershop.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
From going from Rhyme's to script, Cube approved definitely for
sure that you can wear many hats and still stay true.
Cube teaches us this, bet on yourself.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
Don't let anyone box you in.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
Your gift can carry you further than you imagine if
you stayed disciplined and unapologetically you. In twenty fifteen, The

(37:25):
Bio picked straight out of Compton reintroduced NWA to the
new generation. It showed us their brotherhood, their business battles,
their struggles with Jerry Heller, and Dre's break from death Row.

(37:46):
It also gave us reconciliation moments, reminding us that before
Easy passed, there was healing. The film reminded the war
world that NWA wasn't just a group. They were a movement.

Speaker 24 (38:12):
No person shall disturb the peace by participating or abetting
in any rude and decent, drunken, riotous or violent conduct,
or the use of any boulder, obscene or abusive language
in a public place.

Speaker 25 (38:27):
Note Also, the performance of the song f the police
will not be permitted.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Refusal to abide by all the Detroit City.

Speaker 24 (38:37):
Ordinances will result in immediate arrest and forfeiture.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
Are we finished here?

Speaker 2 (38:44):
We got a show to do. Just watch yourself.

Speaker 15 (39:00):
And because of the did I want and whatever? They
got to make the bus and we're going it a house?
This is I'm you know we ever fought with me?
He gets again? Why the wo to the wall play.

Speaker 2 (39:40):

Speaker 15 (40:07):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Hold on, y'all know the.

Speaker 26 (40:11):
B the pupa police trying to tell us backstage? They
try to tell us what the fuck rechat? What the
proper sna tell us what the hook prechant say?

Speaker 15 (40:30):
We said that lay no, what is it? So let
you what the middle biggess I is till the po
gass come backstage?

Speaker 23 (41:05):
Yo?

Speaker 15 (41:05):
Jack?

Speaker 4 (41:06):

Speaker 20 (41:14):
Now?

Speaker 4 (41:14):
Win?

Speaker 2 (41:14):
W ain't Carter said? Full of faith?

Speaker 20 (41:17):
That's Gray reciting and the case up the jelling away
versus the police.

Speaker 12 (41:21):
The buck it probecuting your coney's arm and see rad
ice cube.

Speaker 11 (41:26):
And eats the motherfucking heave or on the hard ice
cue take the motherfucking's stag.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
These wanna tell the truth.

Speaker 10 (41:32):
The whole truth, and nothing but the truths.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
So huff your black ass.

Speaker 11 (41:35):
You got damn right want to tell everybody what the
fucking gotta say.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
The fucking police coming straight from the underground.

Speaker 11 (41:43):
The younger nigga got him back because I'm brown and
not the other colors of police. Fake they have the
authority to kill a minority.

Speaker 17 (41:50):
Fuck that shi cause ain't the one for a pump.

Speaker 10 (41:53):
Motherfucker would imagine a gun to beep beeting on and
so on. This jail we can come to the talk
in the middle of a sound fucking with me because
I'm a teen nature with a little bit of gold
and a page.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
Of searching my car looking for the poduct taking every
nigga is selling arcatas you rather.

Speaker 10 (42:10):
See me and the pening, then men, little benzo.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
Rolling in a benzo be the police.

Speaker 15 (42:16):
Out of shape.

Speaker 11 (42:16):
And when I finished, bring me yellow tape to take
off the scene of the starter.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Stemking stole off bread and water.

Speaker 10 (42:24):
I don't know if the facts of what such a
nigga down and grabbing his nut.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Sitting on the other hand, went out a gun that
can't get none.

Speaker 10 (42:31):
But don't let it be a black and a white one.
They'll slam your down to the street top black holy
showing out for the white cop.

Speaker 8 (42:39):
Ice Q will swarm on any motherfucker in the.

Speaker 10 (42:42):
Food in the form just because I'm from the CPT.
Poor police are afraid of me, your nigga on the
wall path and when I finished, it's gonna be a
blood bath of cops dying.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
In La Yo. Drag got something to say.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
That track was recorded in nineteen eighty eight, but listen today,
it's still relevant.

Speaker 6 (43:22):
Their truth was timeless.

Speaker 8 (43:26):
And that's why.

Speaker 6 (43:28):
Their impact.

Speaker 15 (43:31):
Lives on.

Speaker 5 (43:40):
So what can we take from MWA right now. Well,
they showed us that truth has power, pain can become art,
and dreams can become movements. But they also showed us
that cost of success without unity and money without morals.

(44:09):
So in all and all for us here on in
eken impact. The lesson is this, when you believe in
something so strongly, people will believe in it too. And
once the spark is lit, no one can stop it.

(44:30):
So inclosing, I do wanna say thank you for tuning
in my lilies.

Speaker 6 (44:37):
That's all for.

Speaker 5 (44:38):
Today's reflection on NWA and the strength of street knowledge.
Until next time, keep writing your truth, keep walking in
your vision.

Speaker 6 (44:53):
And remember your voice has impact.

Speaker 18 (45:00):
But for now, at least, Pocket is gonna steal your
brain every day Snoop is doing his thing.
