tangy Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 What a masterpiece. What a vibe. What energy. Used to wear this out on cassette In my estimation this record has aged well........... discuss......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Not sure how many people here will agree, but yeah, it's a rap classic for sure. Best song is Dopeman. Ice Cube murders that song, they never were the same after he left. The 8-Ball remix is one of my favorites too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu93 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Not the world's biggest rap fan but I do have a thing for old-school. I thank Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for getting me to like the old kind, al ot of today's rap just doesn't seem that great to me. Wasn't the song "Express Yourself" off of that album? Or at least, wasn't it by NWA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Mojo Risin' Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 As much as I bash rap and new music, I actually respect original rap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least, wasn't it by NWA? Yes it is. They lifted the name and sampled heavily from an funk record from Charles Wright. I have to admit that I thought it was a James Brown tune.....but just figured out when I searched for it on youtube and could not find it. Pretty sure the original music is being used currently in a car commercial. Express Yourself by Charles Wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoOneOneTwo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I loved that album...still do. And yes, "Dopeman" was the best! I'm surprised and glad to see people here who like rap and hip-hop (no one on Yesfans.com did). I love 'em, but not the popular stuff. I prefer old school and underground, especially when there's social relevance to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sounds to Poppish to be on that first full-length. The follow up album was also great. Might wanna check into that one too. The first two Ice Cube discs and the debut Easy-E release also kicked much ass. Public Enemy was the other hardcore, hip-hop crew from that era worth exploring.

Xanadu93 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I bought the 20th Anniversary edition about a week ago, and I'm listening to it for the second time. It's really a great album, probably better than most newer rap I've heard. Favorite tracks: "Straight Outta Compton", F**k Tha Police", "Express Yourself". If you're a fan of rap, I'd recommend this album, and if you have it already, pick up the 20th Anniversary Edition (if you don't have it already).

Just checked out that song. Thanks for clearing that up for me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljB4kYSnxHQ I was never that big into Anthrax, I think I only owned one disc, where they covered the Joe Jackson tune- Got the time. Might have to try to dig it up and give it another listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturalsciences101 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Don't ya get the distinct feeling that if J. Morrison was born twenty years later that he might have been the first white rapper? He woulda been like M&M tight. I could picture him hookin up with DRE right from the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
