More on Straight Outta Compton
Description from Wikipedia:
Straight Outta Compton is the second studio album by Compton, California-based hip hop group N.W.A, released August 8, 1988 on group member Eazy-E's record label Ruthless Records. The production developed mainly from Dr. Dre with DJ Yella giving co-production. The album is generally seen as the pioneering record of gangsta rap; with its ever-present profanity and violent lyrics, it helped to birth the new sub-genre of hip hop. The album was a hip hop groundbreaker that went on to have an enormous impact on the evolution of West Coast rap.
Straight Outta Compton redefined the direction of hip hop, which resulted in lyricism concerning the "gangsta lifestyle" becoming the driving force with sales figures. It also helped to shift the power to the West Coast from the East Coast, which had enjoyed a period of prominence in hip hop for most of the 1980s. It was later re-released on September 24, 2002 as a remastered edition with four bonus tracks. An extended version of the album was released on December 4, 2007, the 20th anniversary of the original album.
