Tekstet e tij në albumin e NWA të vitit 1988 Straight Outta Compton kontribuan në popullaritetin e gjerë të gangsta rap,^[1]^[2]^[3] dhe albumet e tij solo të repit politik AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted (1990), Death Certificate (1991), dhe The Predator (1992) ishin të suksesshëm në aspektin kritik dhe komercial.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] Ai gjithashtu ka pasur një karrierë aktive në film që nga fillimi i viteve 1990.^[7]^[8] Ai u fut në Rock and Roll Hall of Fame si anëtar i N.W.A në 2016.^[9]
