As gangsta rap pioneers and beneficiaries of the corporatization of rap/hip hop in the 1990s, N.W.A. played a key role in yoking rape culture and rap misogyny. Throughout their career theyve been hailed as street poets and raw truth tellers mining the psychic space of young urban black masculinity. In song after song, gang rape, statutory rape, the coercion of women into prostitution and the terroristic murder of prostitutes are chronicled, glorified and paid homage to as just part of the spoils of ghetto life. The 1988 song Straight Outta Compton trivializes the murder of a neighborhood girl (So what about the bitch that got shot, fuck her, you think I give a damn about a bitch, Im not a sucker) while its outlaw male protagonists go on an AK-47 and testosterone fueled killing spree. Straight Outta Compton was an early salvo for such popular fare as To Kill a Hooker, Findum, Fuckum & Flee and the rape epic One Less Bitch in which N.W.A. co-founder Dr. Dre lets his boys gang rape a prostitute then notes, the bitch tried to gank me so I had to kill her.
