All-Time Top Ten… Albums #9: N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton
While not the first album from N.W.A. this was the one that broke the doors open for the group. With classic records like F#$k Tha Police, Express Yourself, and Dopeman this was Eazy, Yella, Cube, and Dre at their finest. Straight Outta Compton had a very punk rock quality too it that a lot of people gravitated towards. The other thing remarkable about this album is the influence it had on the South. Almost all southern artists list this in their top 5 albums.
