Sidste år havde blockbusteren "Straight outta Compton" premiere. Det er filmen om en af historiens største og mest kontroversielle hip hop-grupper, N.W.A. (Niggers With Attitude). Sidste år kom det tidligere N.W.A.-medlem Dr. Dre's album "Compton", der var inspireret af filmen, og her i 2016 udkommer to forskellige soundtracks fra filmen: Det officielle score, komponeret af Joseph Trapanese, og så denne skive der indeholder remasterede numre fra gruppen såsom "Gangsta gangsta" og det ikoniske "Fuck tha police". Man får tillige numre fra medlemmerne Eazy-E, Ice Cube og førnævnte Dr. Dre, side om side med funkperler fra Roy Ayers og Parliament.

"Here, the N.W.A. numbers that matter most ("Fuck tha Police," the title cut, "Express Yourself," and a couple others) sit next to import solo recordings from the crew, along with obvious influences and favorites, such as Parliament's "Flash Light." The album goes as far as including Ice Cube's venomous diss track "No Vaseline," which was aimed at the N.W.A. crew, and while the ultimate "NWA Universe" release would be bigger with more solo cuts and outside numbers, this exciting comp gives a taste of what's possible".
