NWA against marijuana?

Discussion in 'Music genres, Bands and Artists' started by Daft Funk, Nov 21, 2011.

  1. I just heard Express Yourself by NWA and all they do is bash marijuana the whole time. Kinda hypocritical seeing they all smoke weed
     
  2. [Dr. Dre]
    Yo man there's a lot of brothers out there
    flakin and perpetratin but scared to kick reality

    [Ice Cube]
    Man, you been doin all this dope producin
    You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is

    [Dr. Dre]
    So what you want me to do?

    {Express yourself!}

    [Dr. Dre]
    I'm expressin with my full capabilities
    And now I'm livin in correctional facilities
    Cause some don't agree with how I do this
    I get straight and meditate like a Buddhist
    I'm droppin flava, my behaviour is hereditary
    But my technique is very necessary
    Blame it on Ice Cube; because he said it gets funky
    when you got a subject and a predicate
    Add it on a dope beat; and it'll make you think
    Some suckers just tickle me pink - to my stomach
    Cause they don't flow like this one
    You know what? I won't hesitate to diss one
    or two before I'm through, so don't try to sing this
    Some drop science; while I'm droppin english
    Even if Yella, makes it a-capella
    I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or sess
    Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage
    And brain damage on the mic don't manage
    - NUTHIN
    but makin a sucka and you equal
    Don't be another sequel.. {Express yourself!}

    {Express yourself!}
    {Go on and do it..}
    {Express yourself!}
    {Express yourself!}
    {Go on and do it..}

    [Dr. Dre]
    Now, gettin back to the PG
    That's program, and it's easy
    Dre is back, new jacks are made hollow
    Expressin ain't their subject because they like to follow
    the words, the style, the trend; the records I spin
    Again and again and again - yo, you're on the other end
    Whatch a brother blend dope rhymes, with no help
    There's no fessin or guessin while I'm expressin myself
    It's crazy to see people be
    what society wants them to be, but not me
    RUTHLESS, is the way to go, they know
    Others say rhymes which fail to be original
    or they kill where the hip-hop starts
    Forget about the ghetto, and rap for the pop charts
    Some musicians cuss at home
    But scared to use profanity when upon the microphone
    Yeah, they want reality, but you will hear none
    They'd rather exaggerate a little fiction
    Some say no to drugs, and take a stand
    But after the show, they go lookin for the "Dopeman"
    Or they ban my group from the radio
    Hear N.W.A. and say, "Hell no!"
    But you know it ain't all about wealth
    As long as you make a note to.. {Express yourself!}

    {Express yourself!}
    {Go on and do it..}
    {Express yourself!}
    {Express yourself!}
    {Go on and do it..}

    [Dr. Dre]
    {Express yourself!} .. from the heart
    cause if you wanna start to move up the chart
    then expression is a big part of it
    You ain't efficient when you flow, you ain't swift
    Movin like a tortoise, full of rigor mortis
    There's a little bit more to show
    I got rhymes in my mind, embedded like an embryo
    or a lesson - all of 'em expression
    And if you start fessin, I got a Smith and Wessun for ya
    I might ignore your record because it has no bottom
    I get loose in the summer winter spring and autumn
    It's Dre on the mic, gettin physical
    Doin' the job, N.W.A is the lynch mob!
    Yes I'ma climb, but you know you need this
    And the knowledge is growin just like a fetus
    or a tumor, but here is the rumor
    Dre is in the neighborhood and he's up to no good
    When I start expressin myself, Yella, slam it
    Cause if I stay funky like this I'm doin damage
    Or I'ma be too hyped, and need a straight jacket
    I got knowledge, and other suckers lack it
    So, when you see Dre, a DJ on the mic
    Ask what it's like - it's like we're gettin hyped tonight
    Cause if I strike, it ain't for your good health
    But I won't strike if you just.. {Express yourself!}

    {Express yourself!}
    {Go on and do it..}
    {Express yourself!}
    {Express yourself!}
    {Go on and do it..}
    {Express yourself!}
    {Go on and do it..}
    {Go on and do it..} {*music fades*}
     
  3. I dont smoke weed or sess
    cause its known to give a brother brain damage
    and brain damage on the mic don't manage nothin.

    Maybe that's how Dre's ghost writer felt, although a lot of his lyrics were from Cube who clearly smokes the ganja.

    Honestly idk why they mention that.
     
  4. They are mocking PSAs from that time period ahaha. You guys actually thought they were serious?
     
  5. bash marijuana the whole time? the fuck are you talkin about, shit was like 2 lines


    the whole thing is express yourself do you , plus it was a popular single for kids and for the family ya kno
    [​IMG]

    listen to less overrated hip hop, louis vuitton, sophisticated redneck??? :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: don't "hicks" and "rednecks" typically hate hip hop?
     
  6. lol I always wondered why they said that whenever I heard that song hahah
     
  7. yeah to be honest i think it sounds pretty dope, i don't know why, but yeah they were trying to have one 'friendly' single so they probably put that in
     
  8. If i think lyrics are messed up i usually check shit out on rap genius

    It's just a name. Doesnt describe me. And no, I know a few hicks from back in the day that listened to a lot of rap. Don't be stereotypical.
     
  10. You're out of line.
     
  11. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYVmU3zvFsc]Cypress Hill - No Rest for the Wicked (Ice Cube Diss) - YouTube[/ame]

    'You put a pipe on your cover even though you don't smoke budda!'
    Guessing he didn't back then.
    Anyone that hasn't, I recommend listening to the whole thing. It's funny as fuck.

    'I got Cube, melting in a tray, pulling up his card and fuckin' up his good day!'

    Classic. lol:smoke:

    EDIT: It's because he stole the chorus of this song from 'em for Friday.
