N.W.A's career isn't necessarily one that lends itself well to
anthologies. Though the group had important singles, especially in the
underground hip-hop community in the late '80s, it never received any
support from radio or MTV, which meant it never had any official "hits."
Instead, N.W.A's albums were more important, popular, and influential
than singles, even if individual tracks -- "Fuck tha Police," "Straight
Outta Compton," "Gangsta Gangsta," "Express Yourself" -- became the
focus of attention. And, if you notice, all those songs were from
Straight Outta Compton, the only good album the group ever made.
Greatest Hits does include all of the high points from that album (the
title track is present in a previously unavailable remix), plus a
scattershot sampling of raw early singles and the highlights from 100
Miles and Runnin' and Niggaz4Life. It's nice to have the good tracks
isolated from the group's latter-day efforts, but Greatest Hits is
unnecessary -- all you need is Straight Outta Compton
All records are shipped in record-specific boxes.
