7. N.W.A.
Since we’re on the topic of the movie Straight Outta Compton, the next searched for music artist was N.W.A., which is the group put together by Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and the Arabian Prince, a list which later included DJ Yella and MC Ren. Straight Outta Compton, the movie, bears the same name as the first album released by the group back in 1988.
The group got together first back in 1986, but disbanded in 1991, following the departure of Dr. Dre, the D.O.C. and Michel’le for Death Row Records. There’s been an effort to regroup, but it’s never panned out.
Even though there’s been so many years since the group disbanded, the movie that was released earlier this year has brought it all back into the limelight, bringing back old memories for fans from back in the day and teaching new kids what N.W.A. was all about.
