It’s so great and so important for so many reasons. The basic beginning of West Coast rap as we know it. Slide in my DMs if you disagree, and I’ll tell you why you’re wrong.

The album that put West Coast Hip Hop on the map.

Another record that had a powerful impact on me upon first listen. I’m thinking it must have been the first of the classic rap records I listened to.
I don’t find myself returning to everything on the album with tremendous fervor, but the highlights still hit hard and there are many of them. The opening track being one of the greatest of any genre in my opinion.

So many great hip hop records coming out on an almost weekly basis in '88 but when this title track exploded it destroyed everything. That track still gives me goosebumps and over the years I've downplayed how class the whole album is on the basis of it not holding up the quality of the first few tracks but they took what Ice T had been doing and expanded it ten fold, totally over the top. Where Ice T might have given you a gangsta tale with a moral, none of that here. Dre may have even bettered this brilliant production on their next album but the lyrics were shit. I've played that title track hundreds of times but I'll never tire of it. It also brought the Amen break to a mass audience.

Rifght.
I am not liking some of the lack of album/chart comments on this day of this BEA, Q or The Rord lately. or some others lately. So go ahead and say how much better the rest of the album is than NME, Q and The Word (is one actually T magazine at this point?) and Express Yourself put iy. is pretty much the only great track good field?
Express Yourself is the best here
