N.W.A Album: “Greatest Hits [Bonus Track]”

this is the first nwa track that i bought and after i heard the songs that next weekend i went out and bought nwa and the posse& zaggin 4 life and i listen to each one at least once a day and thats for real. from an nwa fan to an nwa fan(or maybe not yet but u will be)buy all the nwa tracks you can find.

It was only about three months ago that I expressed any interest in rap, picking Dre's Chronic 2001 album. I was impressed with it, so I kept my interest for the genre, and started exploring the works of this group called N.W.A. I think it was a very wise decison for me to purchase a greatest hits album by a group who is highly considered by many critics as the best rap group of all time, or at least the most influential.

Well, obviously the absolute essentials are covered on the greatest hits compilation, Straight Outta Compton and F-ck Tha Police are big highlights of course, with sensational beats and powerful rap deliveries from the crew. The Live excerpts are very good too, with Compton's In The House being a standout. Gangsta Gangsta has to be one of my favourites, with it's groovy, low key catchy beat and great rapping. Other highlights include the speedy 100 miles and runnin', If It Ain't Ruff, and Real Niggaz Don't Die. Each rapper has a distinct rap voice, my favourites being MC Ren and Eazy E.

Overall, a great buy for fans of rap, putting together the best hits of the best rap group, including some awesome inserts of the group talking. Unfortunately, after N.W.A. rap took some drastic turns towards a disgraceful interpretations, maybe taking the line from Gangsta Gangsta: "Life ain't nothin' but b-tches and money" a little too seriously.

Highly recommended.

I got blown away listening to this! I love it. The whole CD is good - I like especially like F*** Tha Police, Straight Outta Compton, Express Yourself (Remix), 100 Miles and Running, and Just Don't Bite it. This is what I call real rap. Get rid of those Nelly and Big Tymers CDs and pick up some N.W.A stuff. Also, pick up some LL Cool J CDs, too. R.I.P Eazy E. I like a lot of other rap stuff, but this is the best CD I own -- No doubt. Buy it -- If you're offended with the music, don't buy it. Hey -- I'm only 12 and I get all of this stuff. Once again, pick it up.

I love N.W.A they are a really good hiphop grop if you like DMX, Eminem, DR DRE, 2 PAC or WU-tang you should get this CD it is a mixture of all of N.W.As best songs. I really like "straight outta comton" and "Gangster Gangster".

You should have all the albums by this group but this is also great to have and the two new songs are good too. All the songs are my favorite and this album is worth having in your collection. It is too bad that they will never be another group like this because these guys brought gangsta to mainstream and a lot of these rappers today owe there careers to this group. Anyways just buy this and be happy you are hearing sounds from the underground.
