Free Music Review: Explicit lyrics AND Clean Version- contradiction in terms??
Hit: 4 Stars
This cassette was SO popular when it came out- I remember little seven and eight year old kids jamming to it in the Cabrini Green projects of Chicago- they knew every word by heart. They never heard of the "Clean" version. By the way, isn't the label "explicit lyrics" and "Clean version" a contradiction in terms?? How can an album be both at the same time??? Also, how come no one talks about Easy-E dying from AIDS? I guess that is still a taboo subject. Anyway, this album is a precious historical document- and it was a trailblazing expression of the frustrations of Amerikkka's black urban underclass at the time (mid-1980's). Unfortunately, it is also a very SEXIST album that tends to treat all women as HO's. I guess you can't have everything. Public Enemy also came out at about the same time and they were a lot more sophisticated lyrically without the sexist crap.

Straight Outta Compton Poster
A lone voice sneers "You are about to witness the strength of street knowledge," and with that warning the greatest-ever gangsta album begins. Then these Niggas with Attitude--wicked rhymes by Ice Cube, Easy E, and MC Ren; soulful production courtesy Dr. Dre; beats provided by DJ Yella--come barreling into your face, just daring you to ignore the streets of Compton (or any American city) even one day longer. From the anti-police brutality anthem "F__k Tha Police" to the angry, unflinching realism of "Gangsta Gangsta," to the pro-free speech "Express Yourself," this is slammin' and ruthless. --David CantwellRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
