Reviews5 Stars Out of 5-"...One of Hip-Hop's Crucial Albums...", Ranked #45 in AP's list of the 'Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...Recorded in a garage, this record integrates sensational violence and sexist bravado with cheesy house-party music, staying charming all the way....this record eventually sent rap to the gallows as imitators took the gospel to heart: 'Life ain't nothing but bitches and money'...", Voted One of the 'top 50 Titles of 1989.', 4 stars out of 5 -- "With Dr. DRe pulling the strings and ramping up the beats, its significance remains undeniable.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It still sounds magnificent. Made before using samples became too expensive, there's a riot of them here, selected with funk-aware good taste.", 5 stars out of 5 - "...Their landmark blend of pop, rage and skilful self-marketing conitnues to reverberate....", Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century, 3 stars out of 5 -- "Essential. It is, after all, a hip-hop foundation block from the sampledelic days, pointing the way to gangsta rap's 90s rule.", Ranked #144 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "This was the start of gangsta rap, as well as the launching pad for the careers of Ice Cube, Eazy-E and Dr. Dre."

Enjoying this cd.
Straight out of Compton is a modern classic a few other tracks on this cd are also classics in the genre. You either have it, heard it, or don't like it. But if you are still curious or missed out in the day it is very much worth a listen.

This is feedback
Yes I would recommend it, yes it is good value, yes it is good quality. I'm not interested in banging on about WHY. I have a life. Stop being so needy for so much feedback.

Gangsta Rapping at its best.
If you enjoyed the film "Straight Outta Compton" then you will enjoy the soundtrack album from the film.
