5. N.W.A. And The Posse (1987)- I noticed that I seemed to be covering fairly recent rock records and nothing else, so I decided to cover one of the more varied albums on my list today! Whatever happened to hip-hop? These day's it's all T-Pain and that guy who seems to want to make love in some club or other... Whatever happened to people like Public Enemy? Why the autotune craze? This classic hiphop record isn't just an N.W.A album, it's actually a compilation of tracks produced by Dr. Dre phD BA MD. It features such hip-hop deities as N.W.A, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Rappinstine, and The Beastie Boys are sampled on "8 Ball". Some great numbers on here, like Boys-n-The Hood, but there are some pretty terrible tracks too... Witness Fila Fresh Crew's shambolic reinvention of Twist and Shout, in the form of "Drink It Up". Seriously, listen to that... It's not even the funny kind of bad... It's just irritating.
Highlights include: Boyz-n-The Hood, A Bitch Iz A Bitch
