From Rags to Ruthless

by Davey D

A few years ago to commemorate World AIDs Day, long time LA artist the Poetess put together an incredible radio documentary that chronicled the life and times of Eazy E and the rise and fall of the ‘World’s Most Dangerous Rap Group’-NWA.

Here you will get ‘the real’ and official story as to how the group formed and what broke them up from the perspectives of Dr Dre, Ice Cube, Yella and Eazy E who are all interviewed extensively in this piece.

They give never before heard encounters and insights about their lives and the group. many of the interviews were conducted when the group was just forming and while they were in their prime.

Poetess also gets the group members to open up and speak about what they were going through when it was discovered that Eazy E had AIDs.. and after he died.. She spoke with cats before and right after his funeral..

The show also features Chuck D, Bones Thugs and Harmony Julio G, Greg Mack Above the Law and numerous other West Coast icons who were influenced and played key roles in NWA.

Please note this interview is done in two parts.
