8. N.W.A. – “Straight Outta Compton”
Produced By DJ Yella & Dr. Dre ~ Album: Straight Outta Compton (1988)
This was way more than just an introduction to the group’s break out album. It was an introduction to America to what is now known as gangsta rap. It was an introduction to Compton. “Straight Outta Compton” was a front row seat to police brutality, west coast Hip-Hop, Raiders hats, dark shades and a pissed off group that shook up the world.
Memorable Lines:
Straight outta Compton, crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
From the gang called Niggas Wit Attitudes
When I’m called off, I got a sawed-off
Squeeze the trigger and bodies are hauled off
