L.A back in the early 90s, my Hip Hop video Bros all rolled with Gary , the trusted young video director who had the ear of Ice Cube , DJ Quick, Snoop Dogg and others . The crews knew Gary had the hook up in the very tight and new career opportunity for young black males. Looking back it’s amazing the bold vision as only BET had the national reach , and even then conservative Black America periodically condemned gangsta rap, causing the TV outlets to censor hip hop content.
Even more reason to congratulate Mr. Gray for presenting N.W.A’s tale as much as his own as a member of a category of Americana deemed ‘Menace to Society’. Success is the revenge , and as boxing impresario Don King chanted , ‘Only in America ‘.
