In 2016, N.W.A. was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and four of the surviving members, along with some of Eazy-E’s family, were there for the acceptance speech.
Today they are all still alive, and recognized as the godfathers of gangsta rap music. Despite still being controversial due to their explicit lyrics and glorification of crime, drugs, and misogyny, N.W.A. is arguably the most influential hip-hop group of all time. They’ve sold more than 10 million records. They left a lasting legacy that continues to this day. They brought not just gangsta rap, but ALL rap into the mainstream with their success, including broadening the appeal of hip-hop beyond just an African American audience. They rewrote the rules of rap. Before N.W.A., no hip-hop group sounded like them. After N.W.A., it seemed like every hip-hop group wanted to sound like them.
