NWA - Niggaz 4 Life [1991]

NWA's third full-length album, Niggaz4life, courts controversy in every imaginable way, from its title (printed backward on the cover, as a mirror image) down to its mercilessly misogynistic second half, and it remains shocking years later, no matter how many times the controversial aspects of the album have been exploited again and again by others.

Unfortunately, the shocking rhetoric which, to a degree unprecedented at the time of the album's release, revels in relentless obscenity, graphic sex, and extreme violence tends to overshadow the remarkable production work of Dr. Dre

Eazy E - 5150 [1992]

The five songs on 5150 unfortunately don't do much to reclaim Eazy E's once mighty stature among the Gangsta Rap scene, especially since "Intro: New Year's E-Vil" clocks in under a minute and "Merry Muthafuckin' Xmas" is a novelty. The remaining songs ("Only If You Want It," "Neighborhood Sniper," "Niggaz My Height Don't Fight") are thankfully good and, above all, curious for how they differ in style from past work, which had been exclusively produced by Dr Dre. Three good songs isn't much more than a teaser, however, or more cynically, a stopgap. Overall, there's not much to 5150 Home 4 tha Sick (which, to be fair, prints "maxi-single" in large print on the cover)

MC ADE - An All Out Bash [1991]

A.D.E. :: Adrian Does Everything. Adrian Hines is the man behind this masterpiece of bass, rhymes, and scratchin, and his genius shows on every track. Back in the early 90s this album was the best bass album on the planet, and because it is so well done with a timeless style of both beats and rhyming, it remains so to this day. Bass albums then and now can't hold a candle to this beast...
