Album Review
N.W.A.'s career isn't necessarily one that lends itself well to anthologies. Though they had important singles, especially in the underground hip-hop community in the late '80s, they never received any support from radio or MTV, which meant they never had any official "hits." Instead, their albums were more important, popular, and influential, than their 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 scatter-shot sampling of raw early singles and the highlights from "100 Miles & 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". ["Greatest Hits" was reissued in 2003 and includes two bonus tracks: "Chin Check" and "Hello."] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
