It's so weird how the "guns and hoes" image of hip-hop so completely took over the public perception in the 90s. When I was growing up I think NWA was literally the only gangsta type band that was well known, other than that hip-hop was mostly seen as party music with a smattering of political groups like Public Enemy.
