Album Rating: 5.0

A classic rap album. In fact, it's my favorite rap album. I'm a huge fan of Dre, and Easy-E. Not a bad review either.

So I listened to this the other day...

And it's pretty bad, excluding the title track.

I don't see the praise this gets eithier. Its pretty bland.

I'm white, yet I love NWA.

They're just oh-so catchy.

Clearly, you guys are just too white.

You know Canada sucks when Snow is its most famous rapper.

The opening rap on the first track is just so classic.

That song if not this entire album is essential.

Album Rating: 4.5

Amazing album inside and outside the genre. Easy E has the best rapping voice

Album Rating: 5.0

Great album, and im mostly a metal fan. I loved this album, it really set the bar for what rap could be. Unfortunately most rap groups today arn't measuring up.

Pwned by the swear filter.

Simply put, one of the best hip hop albums ever. Wonderful review, as always. I love your reviews, especially because you possess one of the most open minded tastes ever.

This record is what makes me hate rap so much today: how come it cant all be as good as this?!

^^^^ Because rap dosen't have a message anymore like NWA did.

:lol:

"What was NWA's message?

"Watch out America, middle-class black men have guns now!""

Alot of it had to do with racism and police brutality

I agree with Plath. Fuck Tha Police was alot less politically driven than most people would think. It also sounds like the soundtrack to a couple adolescent skaters who were caught skating in the mall.

Well, most NWA I've heard had that kind of message, even if it was hidden behind talking about murder and prostitution. NWA was about life in the ghetto (REAL life in the ghetto, not the Jay-Z crap), and it dealt with the hardships of it, no matter how egotistical they were sounding about it.

Now rap is a bunch of fake crabon copies that say they live on the streets, but somehow afford bling bling and nikes.

I thought all of them were from the ghetto except Ice Cube (the guy who wrote everything).

I let a person at my school borrow this. Thankfully, they never returned it.

Easily one of the most overrated rap records.
