"Buy the original by N.W.A. This album is a pale immitation of a hip-hop classic."

Give me the original instead!

"I thought this tribute album would be quite nice because the original is the best rap album of all times and the rappers featured here are of the tightest today.That's a nice start for making a great tribute album, I thought. I've never been so disappointed as when I listened to this CD,ever! It fails on every little detail that made Straight Outta Compton so great. Where the original hit you in the face so hard that it left you bleeding this tribute doesn't even tickle your nose.The only track here worth mentioning is Compton's in the House, because that one is performed by MC Ren & Dr. Dre. I guess when you haven't heard the original you'll like this CD, but when you compare with the original....don't waste your money on this album. Go buy the original instead. Rappers doing cover versions of other rapper's tracks... Cover versions is for unoriginal pop singers and worn out rock groups, not rappers that have such skills as the ones featured here."

Ack! Censored!

"Didn't realize that this album does not have any explicit lyrics...any NWA fan knows that this results in songs which are half-full of scratches, beeps, and noises to avoid obscenity. I wouldn't recommend this album solely because of that. If you could find an uncensored version, it would be a great addition to any NWA collection."
