Trifecta.

Meh. Maybe I am too young and so I don't get how groundbreaking it was when they hit the mainstream, but I was never all that impressed with their music.

This says it all. I was 11 when Straight Outta Compton dropped and never heard anything like it at the time. There were other artist that used a lot of profanity (Ice-T, 2 Live Crew) but Cube's writing/storytelling was genius.

"Meh"

Let me guess...you think Kanye and Lil Wayne are musical geniuses though?

I'm not really even a rap/hip hop fan but even I can appreciate how brilliant and ground breaking NWA was. Straight Out of Comptom one of the top 5 rap albums of all time imho.

Yeah I think so. You should check out Straight Outta Compton when you can. Really good shite.

Unless this is accurate:
