OK, I gotcha now. Sorry, I was distracted getting my PRS ready for open blues jam. I really need the tonewood to sing for "I've Got a Rock n' Roll Heart".

EDIT: I got it dialed in. Pup selector position 2. Pure mojo.

But that's it, isn't it? It's easier for suburban kids to realistically relate to some juvenile jock types than actual gangsters.

I think they're generally are a joke band with a few fun singles that broke the mold at the time. But the stuff that people remember, isn't it mostly that they had collaborators who defined the sound? Rick Ruben, Dust Brothers, Money Mark, and Mario C, etc...seem to be more the masterminds behind those records than the group themselves. I guess that's the case for most rap, but they really got lucky in the sense that their material was otherwise pretty fluffy.
First off...

Read Mario's Tape Op interview.

Past that?

What you are saying is roughly -
The person who put the beat together for "Midnighht" has more to do with the tune than Ice-T.
Which is a kinda dumb take.

Now, past all that?

When you are posting on a board where the "Capture The Performance..." casts a long shadow?

Tying to take points off of the vocal performances in even something like "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn"?

Does not compute.

That's about as "Capture The Performance..." as records got at the time.
