Comment:

P-Funk- and Zapp-fortified beats were the pistons that powered gangsta rap's engine as it dragged its gleaming 6-4 frame up and down the West Coast. N.W.A. and Ice-T spoke straight at the street struggles of life in South Central, while the woozy, hypnotic grooves of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg turned squiggly synths and mesmerizing rhymes into a chart-scaling phenomenon that swept across the country — and the world — before it was done.
