In this clip, Faizon Love talked about the influence and impact of the pioneering rap group N.W.A. He addressed Special Ed saying that N.W.A led to the destruction of hip-hop - a perspective that has sparked controversy and elicited responses from renowned artists like Ice Cube. Commenters stated that N.W.A. remains one of the most influential rap groups in America, with their legacy contributing to the rise of artists like Eminem and 50 Cent. Faizon and Vlad articulated that without N.W.A, cultural properties like the film "Friday" wouldn't exist. They underscored the authenticity of N.W.A.'s work, explaining that their songs were not invented narratives but reports on their lifestyle and experiences. This, they contended, is often misunderstood by those criticizing the group's impact on the genre.
