Damn I envy you!
With NWA it's pretty simple:
Straight Outta Compton [with Ice Cube]
Niggaz4Life [without Ice Cube]
both produced by both Dre and Yella. Straight Outta Compton is an amazing album for sure. As you're on a Cube kick that's the one to get for now. Try and get the 17 track version that ends with 'A Bitch Iz a Bitch'.
There's a few other tracks by them scattered around but really, just get the 17 track first album for now and play it over and over

Jacked from 2dz (duh)
Sorry for the big ass pic, at work and too lazy to search for a smaller one.
Loved Revelations so I assume this one is good as well.
EDIT: click the pic for link or right here

Absolutely classic. Dipset was mostly all hype and noise, but this the one time they truly delivered.
Dipset Anthem
I Really Mean It
I'm Ready
More Than Music
I Love You
Alright, finished listening to Straight Outta Compton.
It was.....okay. I didn't really enjoy it. I can't really put my finger on why at the moment, but I think it was that (to me) all the songs sounded too similar for my tastes, and a little too repetitive in each song. I could honestly barely tell the difference between most of the rappers, they all had the same style, unlike groups like the Wu-Tang Clan, who I can really tell the difference between.
It just didn't appeal to me, I suppose.

If we are on a Dipset high, then I give you this...
Murda, Murda, Mic Check, Whatever You Want To Call It, Gangsta Shit, Good Times, I Am Crack.

Just saw all the dipset love up there. I remember when DI dropped, my college was filled with idiots screaming dipset at each other every 5 seconds.
Diplomats were a classic example of how great production can make a dope album regardless of how weak the rappers are.

I was in the 7th grade when DI dropped. I picked it up for $7 the week it came out just cause it was on sale. A doubledisc for 7 bucks? why not
I live in NC so everybody around here was just rocking the typical Southern shit. So I felt like I was in enemy territory every time I tried to rock it cause wasnt nobody else trying to hear it.
Nothing could get me hype like that album.

Also, I fucking love those two albums TheOddOne and DominoKid posted. Dipset for LIFE. What The Game's Been Missing is awesome, and I say it every few pages. There can never be enough Dipset love.
The intro is incredible too. That beat god damn.. Now that I got your attention.. I'm what the game's been missing.
I SAID ITS DIPSET BITCH.

Does anyone here happen to have the free EP that Beewirks and D Schwartz released as D-Wirks (Foot On The Gas EP) ? I've been listening on YouTube and it sounds incredible but all of the links are dead on this bad boy.

Meh, Straight Outta Compton isn't that good, there I said it. They shocked kids, who then grew up to tell the world how amazing the group was.

How does The Weeknd have street credibility? Just because he does an assortment of drugs?TheOddOne said:
Also, it's spelled The Weeknd. For fuck's sake, people. It's the new Kayne/Kanye.
It's hard to go back to appreciate older albums like Straight Outta Compton if you didn't grow up with it. NWA came out just as I was expanding my love for hip hop and it has memories and emotions attached to it for me. As I am sure it does for others who heard it either when it first dropped, or within the years afterwards. 20+ years later, it's going to sound dated and yes, boring, to people who are just now coming to it. Hip hop has evolved and grown to such a degree that a lot of older hip hop sounds dull or simplistic. I never listened to Run DMC until much much later and I don't enjoy any of their music outside of down with the king because there are no memories to go along with the music. It just sounds like 2 dudes reciting simplistic nursery rhymes over barebones beats that a child with a casio could make. But I have no doubts that if I experienced them when they first dropped, I would feel different. Anything that I didn't experience when it was new and fresh during the 80's has a hard time appealing to me.
edit: thats not to say you can't appreciate these albums and bands for their history and impact. Nothing pisses me off more than people who have no respect for the people who paved the way. It's fine to not enjoy the music, but if you have no knowledge or respect for it, you can go back to listening to soulja boy and fuck right off.

Its cool man, you can join me in the Unpopular-Opinions corner of GAF-Ho- WAIT YOU DIDNT LIKE STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON WHAT THE !@#$%^&*(JackEtc said:*sigh* I knew I'd be flamed for that.....
I meant their style of rapping l. But it isn't worth arguing, I'll just be flamed more.

It Takes a Nation didn't click with me at all, but fear of black planet lived in my cd player. I bought both at the same time in the late 90's.
I find that anything pre 90/91 that I didn't listen to when it first dropped I don't enjoy. But I am much more receptive to anything after that point. There was a definite drastic shift in sound in that era.
edit: also, Muse-Sick n Hour Mess Age and There's a Poison Going on are under-appreciated.
As a young listener who also didn't grow up on the older classics I found The Chronic, SOC and the PE stuff unlistenable at first. A few more plays and my ears tuned to their style. I love those albums now, Jack you should give the NWA albums a few more listens when it clicks their music is amazing. I now prefer the old classics over the shit that gets play on radio nowadays.
