SPECIAL ED DOUBLES DOWN ON CLAIM N.W.A BROUGHT ‘DESTRUCTION’ TO HIP HOP

Special Ed has continued to insist that N.W.A did, in fact, bring destruction to Hip Hop — and he doesn’t care what sort of pushback he gets from rappers for saying it.

“I would first like to say that none of those people [who criticized me] were actual members of N.W.A.,” he said to VladTV on Monday (November 27). “So for them to have an opinion was just like me having an opinion. So let’s start there. Secondly, I did have a discussion with Cube, and he understands where I’m coming from.”

He continued: “They say that they were just making — I wouldn’t say parody, but records for the hood. Selling out the trunk. It wasn’t intended for global-scale marketing. But that’s where it was taken. They have to take some accountability, but at the end of the day now, once again, we go back to the labels. […] So yes, music does affect people. contribute to people’s behavior and the outcome and it’s the same thing we’re saying now. […] So if we’re all dealing with reality and our conscience and facts, then we have to look at it for what it is. They are encouraging us and paying us to be destructive.”
