Greatest Hits - N.W.A.

Advantages: Its the best of N.W.A
Disadvantages: If youre not into old skool you wont appreciate it

This is a must for any gangsta rap lover. This is where it all began all those many years ago. there are 19 tracks on this album: 1) live intro (1989) 'N.W.A straight out of Compton video banned from MTV, N.W.A's music banned off most black music stations, N.W.A is critisised, and for what? Telling it like it is.' A good introduction. Not one of the best songs but introduces the band well. 2) Arrested (Insert) As you can guess not a song, (57 seconds ...
...and now is in prison claiming he didn't think they were prostitutes. 3) Gangsta Gangsta Very old skool. Good beat in the background, but very Fresh Prince, definately not one of the best. 4) Fuck tha police (insert) Quite amusing how he critisises himself for rapping about the police! 5)Fuck tha police One of the best, This is when rappers rapped about things that meant things to them. Main theme to this is the predjudice of police, 'Thinking ... Read review

Advantages: Each song kicks ass!
Disadvantages: CD case is uninspiring

I bought this album today and haven't stopped listening to it yet! I've been into Dr Dre for a while and having heard thousands of lyrics referring to his former group, NWA, in his songs I decided to buy this album and so what they were like. Well, if you also like stuff like Dr DRe and Ice Cube you should buy this record, these two rappers (along with MC Ren, Yella, and Eazy E)formed NWA, the self proclaimed "worlds most dangerous group". The music ...
...today, but its clear to see how NWA were the true founders of gangsta rap. The lyrics are violent but with plenty of depth, expressing their attitudes towards society. If you're offended by swearing do not buy this record! I'd say standout tracks are "straight outta Compton" and "Fuck tha Police", the two songs that the band are famous for, even though each song is great. Since it is a "Greatest Hits" CD I'll assume it has gotthe cream of NWA's stuff, ... Read review

Advantages: last one (must buy)
Disadvantages: none

I recently found out that N.W.A are gettin back together for one last album. This album is set to be a reunion one and will feature dre, ice cube and the other guys not including the man 2 pac(R.I.P). I am definitely gonna go out and but this album after hearin the others and it'll probably dissapear off of the shelves quickly. I hope its not to pricey though like some of the old stuff coz im on a bit of a budget. I don't yet know when the release ... Read review

Unfortunately N.W.A. split up the first departure being ice cube who had... Read review

Advantages: Best Pac Album ever, some of the greatest song ever
Disadvantages: second disk is a bit iffy compared to the first

...to show people his talents. His record label Interscope had dropped him, because of hi erratic behavior. The manager of Death Row – Suge Knight, signed him up on the agreement that we would make at least 4 albums before being let out of his contract. This was his first and by far his best release on Death Row. Now, I'm not being biased here by saying this ranks as the best Rap album ever, because it does. Its up there with Biggies first album, Ice Cubes Death Certificate and N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton. Most of the tracks on greatest hits were taken from this album. With no further delay, here is the track listing for All Eyez On Me. Disk 1 1. Ambitionz Az A Ridah 2. All About U* 3. Skandalouz* 4. Got My Mind Made Up 5. How Do You Want It* 6. 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted* 7. No More Pain 8. Heartz Of Men 9. Life Goes On* 10... Read review
