I remember this period of 1992 was an interesting and unsettled period for American society and hip hop music, the acquittal of officers guilty of the Rodney King attack sent much anger throughout the African American community and stirred up racial tension. I can't imagine the actual feeling of living in South Central LA during the riots that followed, but these 2 artists were pretty close to the scene and gave some vivid description about it in "The Day The Niggaz Took Over" on their classic album "The Chronic".
Dr. Dre & Snoop Doggy Dogg give people of South Central LA advice on how to stay safe and gather their thoughts towards a more peaceful resolve in the aftermath of the Rodney King verdicts.
Get The Fist Movement featuring west coast artists B-Real of Cypress Hill, Da Lench Mob, Yo-Yo, Mc Eiht, King Tee, DJ Pooh and Kam, a great overlooked independent release which speaks on the social unrest of South Central LA in '92
