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!
My favourate is valerie and the specials songs of course!However, amy needs to sort herself out, walking out of hotel rooms with blood marks from hitting up in her feet is shameless, has she no dignity,self respect, it seems she doesnt have much of an opinion of herself.
When she sings sober or clean or even both, she's good, however, its pain staking listening to her struggling to get the tones right, i dnt know alot about music, but i know she's outa her head half the time and outa key!!!! stupid girl, glamorising...

...Buy it STRAIGHT away.
This is a brilliant album, which I would defiantly advise any rap fan to buy. It features 5 of the rap worlds finest:
Eazy E
Dr Dre
Ice Cube
M.C. Ren and
D.J. 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 STRAIGHTOUTA 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....
