DL Hughley and Vlad revisit the impact of hip-hop group N.W.A on American culture. Hughley defends N.W.A's influence, opining that societal issues pre-existed the group's emergence in the '80s. He insists that hip-hop typically canvasses existing issues rather than creating new ones. While acknowledging that N.W.A's music may have exacerbated some societal issues, he points to legislative proposals such as Proposition 13 as the actual culprits, as they reduced resources and support systems within communities. Special Ed's previous comments blaming N.W.A for increasing violence in America were also discussed, with Vlad recounting how N.W.A's rise changed the demographics and intensified issues at events. However, both agree that scapegoating the arts is an oversimplification of deeply rooted systemic problems.
