Straight Outta Compton is the debut studio album by American gangsta rap group N.W.A, which, led by Eazy-E, formed in Los Angeles County's City of Compton in early 1987.
- Dr. Dre. Born Andre Romelle Young, Dr. Dre continued his rise to mega-stardom after N.W.A. disbanded in 1991. A successful record producer, he helped launch the careers of Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent.
- Ice Cube. O’Shea “Ice Cube” Jackson was the first member of N.W.A. to leave the group but continued writing gangsta rap well into the 1990s. The multi-talented college grad also started an illustrious film career that included Friday (1995), Three Kings (1999) and Barbershop (2002).
- Eazy-E. Known as the idea man behind N.W.A., Eric Wright, a.k.a. Eazy-E was a high school dropout and drug dealer who helped launch Priority Records, the label behind N.W.A.’
- DJ Yella. Like Ice Cube, Antoine “DJ Yella” Carraby also dabbled in film. Unlike Ice Cube, however, DJ Yella’s genre of choice was adult films. When recently asked in an interview about it, he replied: “Oh yeah, I did that for over 12 years.
- The group didn’t call their music “gangsta rap” when it came out. “We were trying to make records that can go on the radio, and when we started doing mixtapes — which we knew wasn’t going on the radio — that’s when we really started to talk about the neighborhood,” Ice Cube told Rolling Stone in 2015.
- N.W.A almost didn’t make it to Straight Outta Compton. At the conclusion of the group’s autumn 1987 tour opening for Salt-N-Pepa, Ice Cube informed the crew that he would be going to college.
- Ice Cube wasn’t from Compton, but that didn’t stop him from writing about it. The rapper was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. He’d met Eazy-E as a teenager and gave him the lyrics to “Boyz-N-the Hood.”
- The inspiration for “Fuck tha Police” is up for debate. Dr. Dre has recalled a story where he and Eazy-E went around shooting paintball pellets at people waiting for the bus.
