Review: This 1991 release stands as a cornerstone of West Coast gangsta rap, delivering a raw, unflinching portrayal of early 90s Los Angeles street life. With hard-hitting beats and vivid storytelling, the album builds on the group's debut, offering a more refined and confident sound. The deep basslines and funky grooves, courtesy of seasoned production, lay the groundwork for narratives steeped in urban realities. The album's heaviest tracks are a masterclass in gritty storytelling. 'Growin' Up in the Hood,' featured in the world renown movie Boyz N the Hood, pairs evocative rhymes with strings and drums sampling Funk Inc and Mountain, creating a tense, cinematic backdrop. The song captures the struggles of street life, blending hardened perspectives with a sense of inevitability. 'Raised in Compton' dives deeper, painting a stark picture of how systemic decay and gang violence perpetuate cycles of destruction. Meanwhile, 'Driveby Miss Daisy' haunting depiction of violence is another gem, layered with somber samples and a chilling piano solo that amplifies the track's nightmarish aura. Throughout, the album balances braggadocio with complex street narratives, offering a visceral and authentic glimpse into its environment. Along with NWA and Above The Law, this is West Coast rap at its most compelling and unapologetic for the time.
