N.W.A: Straight Outta Compton / Eazy-E: Str8 Off Tha Streetz Of Compton (clean)



 Straight Outta Compton - one of 100 Best Albums 

Coming hard on the heels of 1987's excoriating "Dopeman" 12-inch, and Eazy-E's career defining hustler narrative

"Boyz-n-the Hood," Straight Outta Compton was the album that would turn N.W.A from a local phenomenon into a nationally feared public menace. Dre's simple, but impeccably equalized production, Ice Cube's powerhouse flow and incipient Black radicalism, Eazy's sneering nihilism, and MC Ren's stolid ice grill turned the hip-hop world on its ear, swiftly shifting the focus of the hip-hop universe 3000 miles west and leaving old-school West Coast heads wondering where they went wrong. The adrenaline surge of the title track, the blaring sirens of "_ _ _ _ tha Police," and the roughshod drums of "Gangsta Gangsta" comprise one of the most bracing opening sequences in music history, and if what follows fails to live up to the impossibly high standards set by these tracks, it is only a testament to their lasting power.

Relentlessly violent and wilfully outrageous,

Straight Outta Compton arose from Los Angeles' sprawling swap meets and dilapidated suburbs like a biblical plague, serving warning to all that hip-hop could no longer be ignored by the musical mainstream. Straight Outta Compton still retains its power to shock, delight, and enlighten. Ignore it at your peril.

-Apple Music


Then stick around for a tribute to the legendary Eazy-E with his posthumous 1996 album Str8 Off Tha Streetz of Compton — a powerful collection that captures the raw, unfiltered vision of the Godfather of Gangsta Rap himself.

💥 Note: Both albums will be aired as radio-friendly edits, featuring creatively rewritten lyrics and censored expletives to meet FCC guidelines while keeping the spirit and energy of the originals alive.

New Order: RETRO

Image
  So, we've had a greatest hits. A couple in fact. There's been the unofficial split and the unofficial reunion. There's been the "Back to Mine" compilation mix CD. Here's the Box Set. And coming soon, the musical, words by Ben Elton, arrangements by Andrew Lloyd Weber. Have the mighty New Order become conventional in their old age? Or, after a career characterized by wilful individuality, have they just given up resisting? Whatever the reasons, if it puts some cash in their pockets after the creative and financial heaven 'n' hell that was Factory, who could begrudge them? For this, ladies and gentlemen, is New Order. Quite simply, one of the best bands to have ever pressed their dreams into wax. "Retro: The Box Set", beautifully packaged as ever, attempts to encapsulate the sprawling, messy marriage of high art and street culture that is New Order. And it does so like this: Disc One- Pop- selected by Miranda Sawyer Disc Two- Fan- selected by...
