Who was your favorite member of NWA?
 
Who was your favorite member of NWA?

Ice Cube, son

TheBig3 05-05-2011 04:29 PM

Then, or still?

Then it might have been easy, but now Dre is on a level unheard of.

Insane Guest 05-05-2011 04:32 PM

Whoa whoa whoa....voted for the wrong guy...MC Ren is a great songwriter but not the best performer...

Dr. Dre is one of my favorite rappers, both his solo work and with NWA.

Can't change my vote now. : (

I saw that you voted that way and I was like "what an attention starved douche."

;)

Insane Guest 05-05-2011 04:47 PM

Nah, that is not me.

Dr. Dre's The Chronic beats anything these guys did.

AmericanIdle 05-05-2011 05:02 PM

What I meant more was who was your favorite member while in the group, not necessarily who was the best solo artist. I think everyone's answer on that would probably be Dre.

Insane Guest 05-05-2011 05:05 PM

Still Dre...

Janszoon 05-05-2011 06:55 PM

For me it's Cube easily. I love Dr. Dre but he didn't really shine until after NWA.

Engine 05-05-2011 07:23 PM

Amerikkka's Most Wanted is one of the best rap albums ever. That and Death Certificate are better than anything any of the other's have ever done. The Chronic doesn't come close to either. The best thing Dre ever did was produce Doggystyle - still not good enough.

Ice Cube

Sparky 05-05-2011 07:54 PM

for his heartfelt portrayal of a struggling father in "our we there yet" I have to go with ice cube

supermarlin 05-05-2011 08:26 PM

Eazy was great, and Dre had the best solo career. I'm going to go with Cube while they wre together though.

You know thats ****ing insanity, right?

Thom Yorke 05-06-2011 01:09 PM

Pretty much a toss-up between Dre and Ice Cube. I'll go with Dre though.

I did not realize that, no.

AmericanIdle 05-06-2011 03:15 PM

I would probably say Cube while they were together, but I am still surprised no one has said Eazy E

Ice Cube

I've never heard Amerikkka's Most Wanted but I quasi-agree with the other things you said. I would rank the albums like this though:

Doggystyle > The Predator > The Chronic > Death Certificate

Hmm. I haven't even heard The Predator so I guess I shouldn't speak so definitively.

But minus The Predator, my list would look like yours but with Amerikkka's Most Wanted at the top and The Chronic below Death Certificate. The Chronic has really good production but I think Ice Cube is an infinitely more entertaining rapper than Dre.

You should definitely check it out. It's the quintessential L.A. riots album.

Absolutely. That's why Dre is better when he has other people rapping, like on Doggystyle.

I will - wait is that the one with "It Was a Good Day"? I love that song, I thought it was on one of his other two I mentioned - maybe I have heard the album.

Anyway, I didn't even have to use my AK today so I'm happy.

Yep, "It Was a Good Day" is on it, and that's not even one of the best songs imo.

OccultHawk 05-06-2011 08:05 PM

Easily Dre. He's one of the great sound architects of the 20th C.

OccultHawk 05-06-2011 08:15 PM

and like, you know, 21st C

(I forgot)

I agree that's why I voted for Cube myself.

Also, I feel like with Dre I respect his production work a bit more than his solo work.

The Chronic is still one of my all time favorite albums but I didn't like 2001 all that much.

Grote 05-07-2011 04:38 AM

its hard choice ; o all member was great, i think the best was dre

Phantom Limb 05-07-2011 06:23 PM

Ice cube has so much charisma, you'd have to try not to like him.

Bison11 05-11-2011 12:13 AM

I voted MC Ren simply because of this line "R.E.N. spells ren but I'm raw" ... I love that line.

Axiom 05-11-2011 12:31 PM

Ice Frikkin Cube yo
