Release 30's NWA thread made me think about this, and I think my favorite member of the crew is Ice Cube. Sure Dre and Eazy had good solo careers, but Cube by far has the strongest solo rap albums.

- AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

- Kill at Will

- Death Certificate

- Lethal Injection

- The Predator

All damn good albums

    Snoop was not in NWA



    I feel Dre was the best rapper, writer, producer, and all around talent of the group, so he would get my vote. Ice Cube would be second, but a far distant second.

    'fraid so.

    They got back together to do a new album, and snoop stood in for Easy.

    It got tangled in legal stuff though, and only 2 songs were ever released.

    Best rapper? :eek: hah. Dre has one of the weakest flows in all of hip-hop. Revolutionary production? Yes. Mic skills? Not so much.



    Cube by a mile. I would say Eazy-E but his voice was kind of annoying. Ren was like Cube-lite.

    It's a little known fact that NWA didn't actually write their own lyrics. if you look at the albums' liner notes, you'll find that the lyrics aren't written by any of the group's MCs.

    The real lyricist:

    Nah, a lesser known but criminally overlooked rapper, the D.O.C, ghostwrote a lot of Dre and Eazy E's lyrics but Ice Cube wrote most of the lyrics on Straight Outta Compton.

    Third...
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    'fraid not. NWA was pretty much a group that Eazy E put together. if you mean he was in some kind of "tribute group" to NWA, ok. but none of the NWA albums have him on there, so he obviously wasn't a member.
