"He's showing us a letter from the FBI. Like, man, I just got this, man. And man, you know, this is crazy. What we gonna do?"
Ice Cube recalls that Priority Records executive Brian Turner showed NWA a letter from the FBI as the group’s profile surged, and that the label treated it as a serious situation.
