Editorial Review:
A lone voice sneers "You are about to witness the strength of street knowledge," and with that warning the greatest-ever gangsta album begins. Then these Niggas with Attitude--wicked rhymes by Ice Cube, Easy E, and MC Ren; soulful production courtesy Dr. Dre; beats provided by DJ Yella--come barreling into your face, just daring you to ignore the streets of Compton (or any American city) even one day longer. From the anti-police brutality anthem "F**k Tha Police" to the angry, unflinching realism of "Gangsta Gangsta," to the pro-free speech "Express Yourself," this is slammin' and ruthless. --David Cantwell
2002 reissue of 1988 gangsta rap classic includes four bonus tracks, 'Express Yourself' (Extended Mix), 'Bonus Beats', 'Straight Outta Compton' (Extended Mix) & 'AB----12 AB----'. EMI.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Because living on the streets is all about "(female dogs) and money"
Give me a break. That line is from the third track on here. People often say these guys had a word of what it's like to live in the ghetto, but when Ice Cube talks about getting into fights with random (N-words) and looking for girls, it sounds very appealing to the ignorant youth of today.
With a title like Straight Outta Compton, you might think the whole thing is about being from Compton and what an impact it has, how you should be thankful people these days don't have to deal ... Read More
Rating:  - The strength of street knowledge...
Yeah. So they were violent, misogynistic, racist, and homophobic. So they seemed to celebrate everything from drug dealing to cop killing. Since when do we have to agree with an artist in order to like their art? No matter how odious their message, N.W.A. were a brilliant band because they could describe such an outlandish lifestyle with clarity and unflinching brutality. Straight Outta Compton is a masterpiece because it's uncompromising and raw and aggressive, and because it grabs the listener ... Read More
Rating: - Classic album
The rhymes feel a little 80s-style and the beats are minimalistic compared to what you'd hear today, but N.W.A. have a style and sense of humor that makes this album essential for hip-hop fans.
Rating: - Classic gangsta hip hop.
This is where it all began for Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. This album was pretty much what catapulted their careers into the future of Hip Hop music. This album was a right up in your face in every aspect. Dealing with everything from gang violence, the drug problem to the injustice's of law enforcement officials. This is a true Hip Hop classic to have in one's archives, especially if you came through that era.
Rating: - Comin Straight Outta Compton!
You can not understate how good this album really is. It changed hip hop forever, it brought so much aggression and intensity to the listener that you can not help but get hooked. Ice Cube, the angry and politically charged MC, Eazy E, the boy from tha hood, MC Ren, the slick and ruthless MC, Dr. Dre, the deep toned MC and slick producer and DJ Yella, the beat banger, are the foundation for gangsta rap, comin Straight Outta Compton!
