Niggaz Wit Attitude (commonly shortened as N.W.A.; active: 1986-1991) was a west coast hip-hop group from the ghetto town of Compton, California. They are most commonly known for their song, "Fuck Tha Police" which was written about the corrupt LAPD. In response to the song, the FBI wrote a butthurt hate-mail letter to the record company who produced the song, stating that they "disapproved" of the song's lyrics and arguing that the song misrepresented the police. Due to the controversy of many of their songs' "explicit" lyrics, their songs have been b& from several mainstream radio stations. Despite of this, they somehow manages to sell over 10 million records. Apparently, their songs are disrespectful towards women and are intended to glorify drugs and crime.
