Something which cheered me up earlier today was this ‘explicit content only’ version of N.W.A.’s seminal Straight Outta Compton.
I haven’t really listened to the album at all for a while, though I did have a brief rekindling when I wrote my dissertation a few years ago, but it’s still up there in my list of generally great albums. Harsh, abrasive, aggressive, crude, and catchy and funky as fuck
Even this version with just the swear words has a certain flavour to it. Though that’s probably because I know the original, and this is funny to me. If you don’t know the original, or dislike hip-hop, probably best not to listen. All it’ll do is fuel your misconceptions about the lyrical content of the genre and you’ll end up ever more mistaken than you currently are
Fun fun fun!
