How come nikkaz4life don't ever get compared to other classic Hip Hop albums of the 90's?

thats a hip hop messageboard/blogasphere thing

we all know the usual suspect list....doggystyle, the chronic,Paid I Full, illmatic, ready to die, me against the world, cuban linx ect, reasonable doubt...

but that list is always missing vital albums such as Mama Said Knock You Out, 3 feet high and Rising, raising hell and nikkaz4life..

that usual suspect list was created somewhere in the mid 2000's and has been the unchallenge go to on what a classic is but that usual suspect is always missing a few albums

NWA was culturally dead at that point as an actual grassroots black draw for the ice cube situation and sides were drawn and NWA lost.
nikkaz4life being a thing was really only till people became informed about the cube situation and NWA was a dead draw.
To the point the movie does it no justice.
for how badly revised the situation and other situations around them were.


That is why it is left off.
It is one of the few culturally taboo releases that is kinda
Upheld as being taboo.
Once the protection mechanism, of the culture were fully destroyed by puff's solo bs.
That revision and false pr were soon made an actual tangent in the mainstream commercial marketed mythos of rap to falsely crown culturally divisive acts.
To this day NWA nikka4life is still in the doldrums of hell as a taboo album.
Yet, one of the albums that I am completely surprised has not seen a large revision in pr and fake sentiment after what factually did occur and the backlash.
Plus, the circumstances to the other situational events would disturb the viacomm/mtv/prison industrial mythos of ruthless aftermath.
So, those media outlets and connected pr outlets generally will not bring up or discuss/disclose much about that time period or the actual indepthly.

nikkaz4life is one of the few testements to certain things from the culture and the cultural era having domain of that time.
Is the fact the protection mechanism because of the admin and social situations.
revolving around lench mob and ruthless to aftermath.
Actually still hold up and have not been revised or approached for much revision.
to the fake commercial prison industrial economy mythos created and perpetrated by the recording industry, Viacom, pr related outlets, and interscope Warner ruthless priority and aftermath.

The rapping was cartoonish & cliche. Let's not forget, when SOC dropped, NWA was progressive in some aspects. Without Cube's intelligence, they no longer had the capacity to be the voice of the people. Like many of the rappers of today, they accepted their supposed place in society without question, and became all about self destructive behaviors.
