Ice Cube Dismisses Claims On N.W.A Influencing Crack Epidemic After Special Ed Comments

Ice Cube is chiming in on the ongoing debate about N.W.A's role in creating "destructive" conditions in Black neighborhoods The convo was recently sparked by "I Got It Made" rapper Special Ed on "Drink Champs," where he accused N.W.A of being single-handedly responsible for the crack epidemic and all the negative fallout surrounding it but Cube's dismissing the claim as total "bullshit. N.W.A started making waves in the late '80s but Cube recalled the times before rap even started when neighborhoods were littered with pimps, playas, prostitutes and teenage pregnancies. He  debunked rappers popularizing crack, pointing out it was called freebase back in the 70s and ran rampant in the hood a decade before crack sparked a national crisis. Special Ed has maintained he loved and respected N.W.A but hasn't exactly found a lot of backing in his argument especially with the West Coast OGs.
