Special Ed has sparked quite a debate online stemming from his recent Drink Champs interview where he stated that N.W.A. brought "the age of destruction" to youth and the culture of Hip-Hop.
In addition to Xzibit and King Crooked calling out the "I Got It Made" MC online, social media has been abuzz with discussions and debates surrounding the statement. Yesterday (9/26), Kurupt of Tha Dogg Pound reached out to Ed to get clarification during an online chat.
In the discussion, Ed says that media outlets misrepresented his original statement, suggesting that he said that N.W.A. "ruined Hip-Hop." They put their own headlines like 'Did N.W.A. ruin Hip-Hop?' That's not what I said," he explained. "My point basically was that N.W.A. was used for the era that we are in now. We are in the era of destruction, we are destroying ourselves as a Hip-Hop community period. We got teenagers in every state killin' each other over Hip-Hop music, tweets, and social media, and none of this existed before the FBI got involved."
