We thought that this would be our style and nobody would bite because biting used to be taboo in hip-hop. Frankenstein in a lot of ways, building a monster that you canвЂ™t control. Everybody was doing hardcore records and now, thatвЂ™s pretty much the norm. So we thought everybody else would keep their own styles, but we saw hip-hop kind of change into gangsta hop, pretty much. Not too many people were even attempting to do music that hard. ItвЂ™s a trip because our style was new when we did it. It was something that if it would have stayed reality rap, the music would probably have a little bit more substance than it has now. So I think itвЂ™s just, we helped coin-not the phrase, the phrase was coined by the media-we called it reality rap when it first came out the media took it and started calling it gangsta rap, that was a little more sensationalized than reality rap.

We actually sprang true freedom in entertainment. With Eazy-E and N.W.A, we made it easy for artists to be themselves and still be just as famous as the squeaky clean artists who were kind of hiding behind a reality curtain. It was a part of entertainment that was kind of taboo and only comedians would tap into it, like Redd Foxx, more or less Richard Pryor, would kind of tap into these zones, but it was still considered blue entertainment back in the day. I think we opened up entertainment and artists to all spectrums. He knew what good music was, compared to stuff that wasnвЂ™t going to sell.
