Yesterday was the 25th Anniversary of "Straight Outta Compton"

[DanielAlfredsson]

Without question, one of the most important, game changing, and excellent rap albums of all time brehs.

Five black dudes from the L.A. hood infiltrated the ears of White America in a way that had never been seen before, and really set off this whole gangsta rap shyt.

And a quarter century later, the shyt STILL bangs.











to Eazy, Dre, Yella, Ren, and Cube (and The motherfukkin D.O.C.)

"Then I let the Alpine play.
Bumpin new shyt by NWA
It was Gangsta Gangsta at the top of the list,
then I played my own shyt it went something like this"



80s hip hop does not get enoug credit for the swag that was displayed

It was punk rap and it was raw

Only Wu Tang can compare.

When you got the Secret Service and the FBI (supposedly) sending letters to your label because they're worried about the impact your music will have on America, you know you're doing something right.

Gangster Gangster is a top 10 song ever

 

[PHamm]

in terms of impact, probably amongst the top 3-4 albums of all time.

Chris Rock said NWA is the most important group in any genre in the last thirty years. I tend to agree.

N.W.A. is the most influential act of the last thirty years -- bigger than Nirvana, Madonna or the Sex Pistols. Nothing has ever been the same since they came. I remember I was in L.A. when I was a kid, and I brought Straight Outta Compton back to New York. More people were coming over to my house to listen to N.W.A. than were going across the street to the crack house. I had the real shyt. It was kind of like the British Invasion for black people.
