Quotes by Gerrick Kennedy (?)

“Straight Outta Compton, N.W.A’s debut album, from selling three million records without a radio single.”

“Rock and roll is not a guitar, it’s not long hair—that’s not rock and roll. It ain’t about an instrument, or this or that.

― Gerrick Kennedy, Parental Discretion Is Advised: The Rise of N.W.A and the Dawn of Gangsta Rap
