Advantages: Specials tunes and valerie
Disadvantages: Seems to glamorise rock lifestyle with drug abuse, wrong msg 2 our youth

...It about time we had an artist who can deliver something which is considered to be alittle different nowadays, we have became to used to cheesy pop tunes and it is refreshing to have such a young artist who delivers such powerful vocal talent. She is clearly an individual who stands to be counted and deserves recognition!

Advantages: Dre Eazy n cube
Disadvantages: none

Yella This is the second best album I own, after The Chronic by Dr Dre. If you like early gangsta rap you will love this album. Originally when the album was released, the F.B.I. sent N.W.A. a letter saying that they should remove the track Fu#K the Police or action would be taken. So if you like a bit of controversy this album is also for you. Other songs that are good are STRAIGHT OUTA COMPTON and GANSTA GANGSTA. These with the earlier mentioned track make up the first three songs on the album but the rest is just as good.... Read review
