| abstract | - N.W.A. is an abbreviation for Nice White Artists, a hardcore polka/hip hop wrestling group that was formed in Compton, California. N.W.A.'s influence on American culture is that the recording industry exclusively used African Americans instead of white artists, in order to lower their costs. (Compton is a fictional city, somewhere between Neverland and Hogwarts and just east of Dr. Dre's container containing his beanie.) Over the course of the six hours the group was together, they redefined the face of West Coast hip hop in both lyrical and instrumental ways, while rapping about murder, drug dealing, rape, misogyny, and drugs. Because of the harsh nature of their lyrics, they have been met with censorship, with radio stations beeping out their cusswords, which turned them into Niggaz Without Attitudes.
