N.W.A’s “Dopeman” Is one of the illest songs ever made because it takes you deep into the drug dealer’s perspective on selling drugs. The crack dealer was evil but we should still seek to understand what drove him and when we look into his soul we find that like the fiends he served, he too was an addict, but he was addicted to power and money. Crack dealers and their culture had a deep influence on hiphop culture and the Black community. In this ep we go into "Dopeman” with The D.O.C. from NWA and talk to several former drug dealers about how dealers changed the world around them.Guests:Nelson George, FilmmakerRoyce Da 5’9, RapperBiba Adams, WriterThe D.O.C., RapperSamson Styles, Journalist and FilmmakerKevin Chiles, CEO Don Diva MagazineJim Jones, Rapper Credits:NWA - Dope Man  •  Writer: Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Sugarfoot, Junie Morrison, Marshall “Rock” Jones, Greg Webster, Ralph Middlebrooks, Marvin Pierce, Norman Napier & Andrew Noland   •  Label: Ruthless Records  •  Publisher: Ruthless Attack Muzick & Bridgeport Music  NWA - Fuck Tha Police  •  Writer: The D.O.C., Ice Cube & MC Ren  •  Label: Universal Music Group, Ruthless Records & Priority Records  •  Publisher: Universal Music Group Notorius BIG - The Ten Crack Commandments  •  Writer: The Notorious B.I.G. & DJ Premier  •  Label: Bad Boy Entertainment  •  Publisher: B.I.G.
