Cavalcade of Awesome

This week the Nerd Lunch Podcast is comin’ Straight Outta Compton with a very special drilldown on the rap super group NWA. To celebrate, I thought I’d dig out some of my old rap magazines and showcase some old pictures and ads featuring the group.

This is Rap Masters magazine from July 1991.  It features a cover story about NWA.

Here’s the actual article. It’s about the press NWA has received recently, good and bad, due to antics from the group. It starts by discussing Dr Dre attacking Dee Barnes at a Def Jam party because she allowed former member Ice Cube to “dis” them on her show. The article mentions that it was a party to celebrate the group BWP’s new album and Dre’s attack upstaged the group’s release party. The article also talks about Eazy-E’s invite and attending of a Republican dinner which also caught many headlines that summer. Lots of press to hype NWA’s upcoming second album, the article says.

Unfortunately, the article is unfinished. It says at the bottom that the article continues on “page 60”, but it must mean in another magazine because the only thing I found on page 60 was the rest of the Ice-T article that is showcased on the cover.

Check back tomorrow for some more rap magazine scans from the early 90s.
