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 -- "It still sounds magnificent. Made before using samples became too expensive, there's a riot of them here, selected with funk-aware good taste.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With Dr. DRe pulling the strings and ramping up the beats, its significance remains undeniable.", 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."

  • NWA Cassette "Straight Outta Compton"

    Classic cars will always exist somewhere and so will the components with which they run. Therefore an availability of cassettes allows me to play the music I enjoy in a car with only a cassette player.
