The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is generally an embarrassing thing,fashion-wise. But that wasn’t the case for NWA members MC Ren, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube and DJ Yella,maybe the first people in the history of the awards to accept the clothes right.
Rock stars try to respect the supposed importance of the ceremony by wearing something nice, while also showing that they’re still rock n’ roll after all these years by wearing something supposedly rebellious. You accept a jumble of leather pants and loud jackets T-shirts and crazy hats and ironic ties that just accomplish you feel like everyone is trying too hard.

Basically,start thinking now approximately what you’re going to wear to the ceremony 25 years years after you drop your first recording.

The best thing approximately NWA and the ceremony: Though they probably would own place on the best performance, or they opted not to. As Ice Cube told The New York Times: “We really didn’t feel like we were supported enough to carry out the best demonstrate we could place on.Steve Miller didn’t feel too much admire,either. (He also went the NWA route, dressing up in all black.)Remember when NWA sampled Steve Miller’s “Take the Money and escape” on “Gangsta Gangsta” and “Something Like That” and “mute on the Set”? Now they all own something else in common.
