N.W.A. - Express Yourself

Group: N.W.A.
Song: Express Yourself
Album: Straight Outta Compton (1988)
Genre: Rap, Hip Hop
Language: Strong

Figured I may as well throw another classic Rap act at ya.  More old school than 50 Cent, N.W.A. were straight up iconic in the 90s.  As a group they for sure burnt bright and fast, though most all of the members managed to go off and have successful careers by themselves.

I'll take this moment to throw some props at the movie they made about these guys.  I straight up loved the movie, and I feel like it was a decent representation of the drama that went down within the group.  I saw it in theaters, and I think I was one of maybe 6 white people in my theater.  I didn't know much of the stuff, but I did at least know that Eazy-E died.  When he died though, there was this lady behind me that said "What, really?  That doesn't make sense." as if it was a weird plot twist they threw in to try and make it sell better.  It was weird man.

Good movie though, check it out dude.

TheTaskmaster - Take My Breath Straight Outta Compton - NWA Feat. Berlin

So something you might not know about me is that I love cover songs.  And one thing that I love more than cover songs would be mashups.  I freaking love mashups.  I have this one that is a mix of Tic Toc by Ke$ha and Redneck by Lamb of God, but I'll tell you about that one later.

This song is almost as good, but it's really different.  I mean, 80s slow rock combined with NWA?  Really you can't beat that.

NWA - Straight Outta Compton

So yeah.  I only got into rap music recently, and by rap I mean I listened to Eminem.  Then some of my friends started making fun of me for only listening to Eminem and claiming I enjoyed rap so I turned to the only other rap group I knew.  NWA.

Not to be honest, this was probably one of the less smart ideas I've had, considering this is gangster rap that is really questionable.  Eh, whatever.  I really like it.

I have been informed that I am far too white to enjoy this music, but I don't even care.
