Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A. Album Review

On this week’s episode, Matt and Ryan continue their celebration of Black History Month with a review of Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A. Featuring several controversial tracks, this album put West Coast hip-hop on the map and redefined the genre. The group’s confrontational lyrics led to intense opposition from law enforcement and media outlets; MTV banned the "Straight Outta Compton" music video, and some police officers even refused to provide security at their shows.
