Description:Straight Outta Compton may be the greatest hip hop album of all time. It’s at least in the conversation. Not because every track is flawless or each verse rises above the previous one, but because its anthems became cultural touchstones, and the album taps deeply into that ever-elusive set of “universal themes” that allow the listener to practically assume the identity of the speaker. With the release of Straight Outta Compton in 1988, N.W.A. established the gangster-criminal dynamic that still rules hardcore rap. Straight Outta Compton detonated, dominated, and defined West Coast rap music.This book seeks to dig deeper into each track of the album, to examine what specifically happened over the course of the track—and the album’s progression. We try to understand why the lyrics worked so perfectly, how the beats were put together, and what the album meant to a generation of listeners.The analysis of the music is followed by extensive new interviews with Eric Poppleton, who photographed N.W.A., and Kevin Hosmann, who designed the album cover of Straight Outta Compton. The book closes with an exclusive interview with influential rap legend The D.O.C., who appeared on several tracks and served as an integral part of N.W.A. during the production of Straight Outta Compton.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
