Throwback Thursdays: N.W.A.

DateThursday, August 14, 2014 at 8:32AM

After several days of police brutality in Ferguson, MO (following the killing of an unarmed black teen) I've only got one song stuck in my head. Whenever something like this happens, people say "This is a turning point in our country". But my fear is that it will eventually get swept up and put away and we'll all go back to our favorite tv shows and the cycle will repeat. It happened here in our community and the cop got a 30 day suspension. Fuck these assholes.

Real Talk Tuesdays: N.W.A.

DateTuesday, March 26, 2013 at 8:39AM

Back in the day I used to memorize evey album I bought within days of the purchase. The particularly dirty raps (N.W.A., Geto Boys, etc) were stictly played in headphones to avoid my parent's wrath. But for tamer acts like the Beastie Boys, L.L. and Run DMC I was able to cover most obscenities with a well timed cough or by bouncing a basketball when my folks were within earshot. Found this video this morning of a thirty-something couple playing N.W.A for their son. Killer.
