 Notes  
     N.W.A, the unapologetically violent and sexist pioneers of gangsta rap, are
     in many ways the most notorious group in the history of rap. Emerging in
     the late '80s, when Public Enemy had rewritten the rules of hardcore rap by
     proving that it could be intelligent, revolutionary, and socially aware,
     N.W.A capitalized on PE's sonic breakthroughs while ignoring their message.
     Instead, the five-piece crew celebrated the violence and hedonism of the
     criminal life, capturing it all in blunt, harsh language. Initially, the
     group's relentless attack appeared to be serious, vital commentary, and it
     even provoked the FBI to caution N.W.A's record company, but following Ice
     Cube's departure in late 1989, the group began to turn to self-parody.
     "Straight Outta Compton" wasn't quite the first gangsta rap album, but it
     was the first one to find a popular audience, and its sensibility virtually
     defined the genre from its 1988 release on. It established gangsta rap -
     and, moreover, West Coast rap in general - as a commercial force, going
     platinum with no airplay and crossing over with shock-hungry white
     teenagers. Unlike Ice-T, there's little social criticism or reflection on
     the gangsta lifestyle; most of the record is about raising hell - harassing
     women, driving drunk, shooting it out with cops and partygoers.
     All of that directionless rebellion and rage produces some of the most
     frightening, visceral moments in all of rap, especially the amazing opening
     trio of songs, which threaten to dwarf everything that follows. Given the
     album's sheer force, the production is surprisingly spare, even a little
     low-budget - mostly DJ scratches and a drum machine, plus a few sampled
     horn blasts and bits of funk guitar. Although they were as much a reaction
     against pop-friendly rap, "Straight Outta Compton" insistent claims of
     reality ring a little hollow today, since it hardly ever depicts
     consequences.
     But despite all the romanticized invincibility, the force and detail of Ice
     Cube's writing makes the exaggerations resonate. Although Cube wrote some
     of his bandmates' raps, including nearly all of Eazy-E's, each member has a
     distinct delivery and character, and the energy of their individual
     personalities puts their generic imitators to shame. But although "Straight
     Outta Compton" has its own share of posturing, it still sounds refreshingly
     uncalculated because of its irreverent, gonzo sense of humor, still
     unfortunately rare in hardcore rap.
     There are several undistinguished misfires during the second half, but they
     aren't nearly enough to detract from the overall magnitude. It's impossible
     to overstate the enduring impact of "Straight Outta Compton"; as polarizing
     as its outlook may be, it remains an essential landmark, one of hip-hop's
     all-time greatest.
