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."
