A reason art is so beloved is because of everyone’s individual take on the material and how they express it. Love for music is why most artists are in the game and is the reason why Los Angeles rappers started, anyway. Each artist spoke on their lives and their interests, especially Eazy-E and NWA.

Many artists inspired by the gangsta rap went on to make gangsta rap records, such as second-generation Comptonite, Game. Kendrick Lamar also is inspired by this era and the era which Game came out of.
