From what I can tell right now is just exposure.

Eazy E mostly gets that credit since he founded the group and Ruthless Records. I never hear Ice Cube cited as the driving force behind the band by the media. |

Ive stated these reasons through out this thread AND I have also stated what the "credit" should be which I feel should be accolades and praises which does not necessarily have to be in the form of an award. |

Eazy E didn't write a single song, hell Ice Cube had a good hand in Eazy's best solo album, and I've never heard anyone say "Eazy E was the brains behind NWA" from a credible source. Ice Cube is always cited, seeing as he wrote most of the songs, and was easily the most prominent rapper on what is easily their best album. He literally gets most of the credit for Straight Outta Compton, which if anything, is one of the most overrated albums of the 1990s. I love the album, but I've heard much better. I think I like Ice Cube's solo work better.

So what are these "accolades and praises that don't necessarily have to be in the form of an award" and "magazines, documentaries, etc. which is nothing more than media exposure" are you talking about?
I vote he should be built a church.

Tell the media that... Eazy E is presented as the dominate driving force behind the group, not Ice Cube. I do love Eazy by the way. Quote:
Ice Cube may be cited as a songwriter but he has never been cited as the driving force or the main center of the group like you are implying. Last edited by Soulflower; 02-22-2014 at 01:46 AM. |

Being acknowledge for what you have done for a genre is different from "media exposure". Anybody can get media exposure for doing anything. I just think when they do different segments discussing hip hop that he can be mentioned as one of the pioneers or when they do different tributes discussing pioneers that helped changed hip hop he should be mentioned. When these urban magazines or music magazines do their commentary they could cite him more. Just another ex. Frankie Beverly and Maze won a Lifetime Achievement Award 2 years ago on BET but it doesn't necessarily mean their musical influence is not underrated. |

Not to mention, he has one of the most impressive musical resumes of any rapper of any decade. Quote:
How does he not? He literally gets most of the credit, and I'm not talking about subjective opinions, I'm talking about facts, he wrote most of the music. |
