SOC is the iconic NWA album but imo N4L is even better. Yes, there is no Cube on the sophomore, but there are more great songs and Dre's rapping is much better on this project. Plus each remaining member is at peak charisma here. An underrated classic
Know this thread probably won't get many pages, since KTT doesn't care bout old school s*** too much..but its facts
Album is nuts
Makes Eminem look like a punk
NWA with no management or legal issues would’ve been the most dangerous group in America
So do you agree that Straight Outra Compton is better than their sophomore @Teal_
I’m just trying to see if this a general opinion I missed.

it’s fair. I accept but just have to understand a bit more why. Thank you for your input @Teal_ Nice seeing you here.

there's no wrong answer. it's all a matter of taste. i personally always preferred the darker and g-funk vibe of the second album

Well yeah put in that perspective. I just feel though Cube really it hit me hard.
Plus Cube wrote A lot of crazy verses on SOC for NWA and that energy is missing in N4L and we got express your self and 8 ball remix on SOC so I just felt that was on a Ilmatic kinda totem pole we just always know it’s a classic.
What’s your favourite Ice Cube song?
Honestly very hard to pick. Each album has so many great songs
Here’s a few
I can go on for days lmao

I don’t think it’s as groundbreaking or has the content to match, like there was a lotta social commentary in SOC. But still this is a good album definitely one of the first g funk albums
I think it is groundbreaking but not for the same reasons SOC was. From a production standpoint one of the craziest albums oat imo.
Love both but I gotta agree with OP
Not necessarily my favorite Cube song but I always loved this one and it never gets mentioned
Hard to pick a fav but it would probably be It was a Good Day. Song is too good.

So where do you stand straight outta Compton or the sophomore ?
I’m just curious for what reasons and gathering those reasons to listen to both albums back to back and see if my straight outta Compton verdict stays final for my personal self.

I listened to both countless times but I gotta with N4L.
SOC is in a different league from a lyrical standpoint and got iconic singles that N4L can't really fw. I mean it's hard to beat tracks like SOC, F*** the Police, Gangsta Gangsta and Express Yourself.
The sole reason I prefer N4L is the crazy production tbh. It's one of the best produced albums of all time in my opinion.
SOC is probably the better album to most tho.
Lowkey my favorite NWA track:
Everybody I know hates those whistles

Okay now you got me intrigued to listen to both back to back next week for real and get a refresh. I know the op here knows his stuff is the reason I came in to get to know more why he picked it and I am as well as sharing love for Ice Cube because we all know he’s a legend but him not making it changed my experience so much so now being older and wiser I gotta re listen.

The Days Of Wayback what a way to finish the album. Another song talking about some real s***. As I said, the goofy ass/absurd songs overshadow the real s*** they were saying on this album
Love how this has turned into a Cube appreciation thread. Don't get it twisted, I love Cube Surprised nobody has posted this one, one of my favorites
