Straight Outta Compton (Audio CD)

Customer Review

First of all: If this CD you listen to the first time, you may be confused because you have no resounding and pumping beats as 50 cents, or funky and relaxed beats like Dre's "The Chronic", but something raw and unusual beats, where before shooting or passing cars are sampled, but that does not mean that this album is bad here, because it is, and at that time was formative for probably directly or indirectly any hip-hop CD that followed. The reason is that they brought the rap away from political rap like Public Enemy and the old-school party-rap. Suddenly it was the rap instead to Parties to weapons, women and other components of the "gangsta life". NWA are composed of three rappers (Ice Cube, MC Ren and Eazy-E) and the Producer-Team (Yella and Dr. Dre), and Dre rapping and it could be even with. The three or optionally four MCs have all flow and talent, but of them I like Ice Cube best and I find it very unfortunate that he briefly got out after this album, although his solo albums at least as good as this one were. Anyway, this album is top notch from the Beats and rape her, and it can be quietly viewed as a milestone of rap. Fallen from the songs my best "Straight Outta Compton", "F --- Tha Police", "Gangsta Gangsta", "Express Yourself" and "Compton's in the House", but the rest are not significantly worse. Who is, however, as these DC yes called gangsta rap, assumes that the lyrics are unimaginative and that NWA merely Poser are, which is after listening to this CD certainly change his mind, because the lyrics are partly socially critical. I would advise in any case to buy this CD, even if they already have the original, because the tracks were digitally processed and there are 3 bonus tracks. So you should buy this CD immediately, because they had similar formative for the hip-hop as her "Paid In Full" by Eric B. & Rakim and just "The Chronic" by Dr. Dre.
