Disco de N.W.A: “N.W.A and the Posse”

this goes out to that guy that said NWA and the posse was thier third album....first of all this album is NWA's FIRST ALBUM not thier third, their ablums go in this order "NWA and the Posse" then "Straight Outta Compton" then "efil4zaggiN" if ur a true NWA fan you would know this, but ovously you dont u stupid idiot. do me a favour and never listen to NWA agian you digrace them. ok know that i got that outta the way this album was a good start for NWA with Boyz n the Hood this is old school and the start of gangsa rap

This is a nice collection of songs. Boyz-N-Tha-Hood, Panic Zone, Dopeman, and LA is the place, really stand out!

Anyone who isn't familiar with this particular record might be surprised with what they hear. Much of the record has a disco-dance feel to it and it rarely uses the hard gangsta beats that would later make the group famous. There are really only 4 tracks worth your time and three of them are featured in remixes on better NWA albums (Boyz N The Hood on "Eazy-Duz It", 8-Ball and Dopeman on "Straight Outta Compton.") Unless you are a collector and need all of NWA's material, avoid this particular album.

Let me start by saying that I own both the "Scream" and "Bitch" versions of this album. I've heard some people say that the first song is the "edited" version of Boyz N The Hood, it's not. If you were to order a box of Dopeman/Boyz N The Hood 12"s back in the day, this is the Boyz N The Hood you would recieve, because this is the original version. As for 8 Ball, it is the edited version. While it's not terrible, it sucks compared to the original. Also, some people have said that The Fila Fresh Crew is the worst rap crew in history and that there songs do not fit the album. Well, I think Tuffest Man Alive, Drink It Up, and especially Dunk The Funk are all dope songs. Another thing is, this album contains a very underrated gem. "LA is The Place" is definetly is the best song on the album. It's basicly a tribute to well, LA. Eazy E and Ron-De-Vu Basicly tear up this song, and the girls from The East Coast. Overall, I would really recommend this album if you're an old schoo lhip hop head, and want to see "N.W.A." before they blew up.

This album contains an amazing collection of notoriously difficult to find tracks! The album also features many underground rap artists with amazing talent, people like Fresh K, and Dr Rock, etc, as well as all the more famous artists Eazy E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and the DoC. the tracks are some what different to what you would find on a conventional rap album, by listening to this album I got the impression that the artists who feature on it are the inspiration for many modern tracks. I have listened to this album several times over, and am not bored with it one bit! It is so different, and it's great to listen to some real rap music, rather than all this commercial new music that doesn't carry any real message, and blatantly done for the money and "fame".

If you are into rap music you should by this album, without question. If you are an NWA fan, or a fan of any older rap music, this album needs to be part of your collection. It's different style and some what experimental tracks are very interesting and are just plain cool.

No one who appreciates music could be disappointed with purchasing this.
