Yo Man, There's a Lot of Brothers Out There Flakin' and Perpetratin'

Today's video and song was the last single released from the 1988 album "Straight Outta Compton." With lyrics handled mostly by Dr. Dre and an appearance in the video by Tone Loc, here is a toned-down N.W.A. with "Express Yourself"...

When I'm Called Off, I Got a Sawed Off

It's amazing that this blog is nearly four years old and I've neglected to feature today's video. It's a song and a group that ushered in the hardcore gangsta rap of the late 80's and early 90's. The video features rap pioneers like Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Eazy-E. Also featured in the video are MC Ren, Krazy Dee, and DJ Yella. Obviously the group is N.W.A. and the song with one or two explicit words is "Straight Outta Compton"...
