Due to the violent nature of these gangs and drug dealers, artist like NWA were able to shine. Illuminating light of the crooked gangs and violence that surround African Americans. LAPD officers and gang member were at war, until it erupted into destruction. The song even cought the notice of the federal government, as NWA discovered when their label Ruthless Records, received a letter from Assistant Director of the FBI "advocating violence and assault is wrong, and we in the law enforcement community take exception to such action," the letter continued "recording such as the one from NWA are both discouraging and degrading to these brave, dedicated officers."
This and contributing factors caused the
1992 LA Riots
