Vh1 Airs Documentary On N.W.A.


The documentary pays tribute to one of Hip Hop's most controversial groups and hails them the pioneers of gangsta rap.

This Friday, Vh1 is scheduled to air N.W.A.: The World's Most Dangerous Group, a documentary highlighting the reign of one of the most legendary groups in Hip Hop history.

The Compton, California based group released its first album, N.W.A. and the Posse, in 1987, but it was not until their sophomore effort, infamously titled Straight Outta Compton, did they go on to reach tremendous commercial success with records such as “Fuck tha Police,” and “Gangsta Gangsta.” The 1988 album marked the beginning of the gangsta rap era, and would help to propel the solo careers of respected artists Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, DJ Yella and MC Ren.
