You can't accuse N.W.A, of being subtle, The original gansta-rap group was unabashedly angry, with controversial songs that reflected the troubled streets from which it came, N.W.A.'s unpleasant style touched a nerve; critics called it offensive at least, dangerous at worst, But to simply dismiss N.W.A, as a group of violent, misogynist troublemakers is to completely miss the point, N.W.A, made an indelible mark on the world of rap music with its funk-infused, slow-grind style. GREATEST HITS includes such rap classics as "Fuck Tha Police" and "Gangsta Gangsta" along with a few previously-unreleased mixes and 12-inch tracks, all proof of N.W.A.'s considerable impact on both pop music and pop culture.
