Straight Outta Compton turned N.W.A. from a local phenomenon in LA into a nationally feared public menace. Dr. Dre’s simple but impeccably equalized production, Ice Cube’s powerhouse flow and incipient Black radicalism, Eazy-E’s sneering nihilism, and MC Ren’s stolid ice grill started to shift the focus of the hip-hop universe 3,000 miles west. The adrenaline surge of the title track, the blaring sirens of “Fuck tha Police,” and the roughshod drums of “Gangsta Gangsta” comprise nothing less than one of the most bracing opening sequences in music history. Relentlessly violent and willfully outrageous, Straight Outta Compton arose from Los Angeles’ sprawling swap meets and dilapidated suburbs like a biblical plague, warning that hip-hop could no longer be ignored by the musical mainstream and still retains its power to shock, delight, and enlighten. Ignore it at your peril.
