Product Details

Released in 1988, this was the record that forced mainstream America to reckon with voices it had been ignoring, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, MC Ren, and DJ Yella delivering street-level testimony with a production clarity that hit like a freight train. The FBI famously took notice, sending a warning letter to the label over "Fuck tha Police," which only confirmed what the group already knew: this music mattered in ways that made people uncomfortable.

Straight Outta Compton is the debut studio album by N.W.A. The album has been viewed as the pioneering record of gangsta rap with its ever-present profanity and violent lyrics. It has been considered groundbreaking by music writers and has had an enormous impact on the evolution of West Coast hip hop. Straight Outta Compton redefined the direction of hip hop, which resulted in lyrics concerning the gangster lifestyle becoming the driving force in sales figures.
