KRS-One, Scott La Rock and B-Boy Records

By Hua Hsu, eMusic Contributor

Before they were legends, they were just two dejected young men trying to get back to the Bronx. In 1986, nobody was checking for Boogie Down Productions, another of the seemingly endless queue of aspiring would-be rappers and party-animators who blanketed New York City.

The world’s most volatile hip-hop group gets compiled again with the 2006 release The Best of N.W.A. The straight-ahead collection differs just a little from 1996′s Greatest Hits, although it does contain better liner notes and a worthwhile essay from hip-hop historian Soren Baker. The problem remains that you can’t call yourself an N.W.A fan without owning the Straight Outta Compton album, and once you own that, you’re overlapping six of the tracks included here.
