Run Dmc and the Beastie Boys made hip-hop main stream and NWA made hardcore rap "cross-over" into the white and suburban community.

 

Before NWA hip-hop was an purely a NYC thing. Breaking, rapping, and deejaying were popular with the local inner city kids in LA, but it was still new to the West Coast and all the famous rappers or deejays during that time were either from the Bronx or Queens, NY.

 

While Eazy-E was not the most talented or natural rapper. MC Ren, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube *(before he left) wrote all of his rhymes. Eazy-E's hustling and natural business sense is what got Dr. Dre and Ice Cube into the entertainment business.
