Det är bara en ynka dag kvar till USA-premiären för den omtalade och hajpade filmen “Straight Outta Compton”. Inför detta har flera amerikanska medier gjort omfattande så kallade cover storys på den legendariska gruppen. Billboard drar måhända det längsta strået med en intervju där ingen mindre än Kendrick Lamar (!) intervjuar Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren och DJ Yella.

“How do you think your music changed the way the world viewed our culture and our community?

Ice Cube: Unless you come from Compton, it’s not a world you’re privy to. Our music let you visit Compton from a safe distance.

Dr. Dre: We gave the suburban kids an opportunity to get up close.

Ice Cube: Now you care. You heard what’s going on in the hood, and you’re interested. Now Compton means something to you. Now you pay attention. We were able to shed light on some of the bullshit that was going down. We presented it in a way that you could digest, comprehend and sympathize with what we were going through.

Dr. Dre: If we had done it softer, it wouldn’t have gotten the attention. It wouldn’t have worked.

DJ Yella: The truth is that there wasn’t much competition. There was the East and the West, but there was really no West before us. We came in so different, so real, that we were immediately heard.”
