#021 NWA - Straight Outta Compton

The classic rap catchup continues.

I liked this a lot better than I expected to. Maybe it was because I listened to it in the midst of a potentially soul-crushing garage cleaning, and its unashamed bravado and fast beats were what I needed. The production was repetitive, and the rapping aggressive and mysogenistic, but maybe I'm just getting desensitized, or maybe it just worked. The rapping was good, the pacing was good, the hooks hooky. Whouda thunk it. Will probably revisit, I suspect this will go up or down on revisiting it, but for now I have to concede a generous 4/5
