Various – Straight Outta Compton (Music From The Motion Picture) (Vinyl)
Not to be confused with the N.W.A. album with the same name, the soundtrack to the movie Straight Outta Compton is, not surprisingly, top-heavy with N.W.A. tracks.
Featuring “Straight Outta Compton” (which has more “fucks” per beat per minute than any record ever made) and “Gangsta Gangsta” (both from the debut album) as well as “Express Yourself” and the mighty “Dopeman”, while between the N.W.A. tracks are several of the offshoots; solo tracks from Eazy E and Ice Cube are equally as enthralling as anything the band recorded although they are at times ensnared in petty “disses” and nasty, back-stabbing lyrics.
As the strap line says, if N.W.A. passed you by, you must have been asleep or dead. Throughout the late 80’s and early 90’s, a mortally ill music scene had a shot in the arm from a rap group that were genuinely “the worlds most dangerous band”.
