![]() The openers - “Straight Outta Compton”, “Fuck tha Police”, and “Gangsta Gangsta” - are what the album is rightly remembered for. ![]() The success of today’s hip hop superstars, from Kendrick Lamar to Eminem, is built on foundations laid by N.W.A. The ‘reality rap’ of their debut shone a light on a world much of America hadn’t seen, and did so in a way that impacted everything that followed. ![]() Its formula is so ingrained in music consciousness now that it’s odd to think there was a ‘before.’ Skits, samples, obstinance, and anger are the linchpins of many great hip hop albums, but few showcase their chemistry as explosively as N.W.A did in 1988. Straight Outta Compton is an easy album to take for granted. Better rap albums have been released since its conception in 1988, but very few have caused quite the same stir. The impact of this song, this album, and this impassioned hip-hop assembly, cannot be overstated. While that song in particular is something of a black sheep in its optimism and carefree spirit, it is of course “Fuck Tha Police” that epitomises the real essence of Straight Outta Compton: a song inspired by a deadly serious subject matter, yet performed and produced in a way that makes it extraordinarily accessible. Dre drop in every once and while, particularly on “Express Yourself”, which is wonderfully joyous in its message. Ice Cube feels like the main force, particularly on the sublime trio of tracks that open the album, but it never feels like anyone is letting the side down. Whether they’re channelling aggression as an act of social defiance, or simply spitting wacky rhymes about their competitors, the interaction between the group is thoroughly engrossing. The chemistry between Ice Cube, Eazy-E, and MC Ren is unparalleled: the way they bounce off each other has been a clear influence on the likes of Run the Jewels for example. There is an undercurrent of a party vibe, similar to that of Hello Nasty, and the implications of rebellion only add to that sensation. This is a posse after all, not just a lone MC, and the atmosphere of Straight Outta Compton is notably disparate. However, perhaps these are unfair comparisons. In comparison to the likes of Illmatic, To Pimp a Butterfly, and The Marshall Mathers LP, this is where N.W.A’s classic falls short. I find myself longing for the conclusion of Straight Outta Compton, which is a damn shame given the quality of the album’s opening four or five tracks. I presumably speak as a spoilt modern listener, but scrapping these three tracks surely makes it a smoother, more consistent experience, in addition to reducing the album length to less than an hour long. Straight Outta Compton features three ‘remixes,’ and they’re easily the most disposable cuts on the whole tracklist. The opening portion is fantastic - some of the finest hip-hop tunes you’ll ever hear - but the record fades during its second half. That said, I’m not so sure it’s one of the greatest. Gangsta rap doesn’t come much purer than this, and it remains an essential listen for hip-hop heads old or new. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the record still sounds tremendously exciting, and strikingly defiant. ![]() Straight Outta Compton, the acclaimed and influential debut by N.W.A, is a seriously good hip-hop album. ![]()

I have a huge collection of FLACs that I have ripped myself from my CD collection as well as 24/96 FLACs I've purchased and my own Vinyl rips. If you want FLAC support, there are plenty of applications that work with flac, including DECIBEL, etc. QuickTime 7 (Now discontinued and very buggy/has security holes) supported many codecs, including Motion JPEGS, and old ones like H263, but those days are over and no one uses those formats.

![]() ![]() While there are various studies showing successful refeed day timing strategies, there aren’t really any hard and fast rules. Our new program 80 Day Obsession does - but with a few modifications. Psychologically, enjoying the more decadent foods associated with carbs, especially at refeed levels, is a welcome break from the austerity of the rest of a results-driven eating plan.įunny you should ask. Sure, you could get the job done with plain potatoes sprinkled with wheat flour, but why do that when you can do it with waffles? In fact, high-carbohydrate foods release a “feel good” hormone in your brain called serotonin. Muscle glycogen, specifically, allows you to push harder during exercise, so when you top off your glycogen during a refeed day, you should be able to push even harder in your next workout.Īnother benefit of the carb increase is that it feels good to eat yummy food. In this situation, when you increase carbs, they go toward replenishing that glycogen, as opposed to being stored as fat. ![]() ![]() The reason for this is that after eating at a reduced calorie level for a while, your body is at a bit of a carbohydrate deficit, particularly with regards to glycogen, the stored form of your body’s primary energy source, glucose. With a refeed day, you’re taking a specific food - high-glycemic carbohydrates - that would otherwise work against your health and targeting them for good instead of evil. You might get the benefits of a refeed day in there among the excessive fat and sodium, but the additional empty calories and problematic ingredients that come with junk food aren’t necessarily benefiting you. So you want to be a little controlled about it - that’s where refeed day comes in.ĭon’t mistake this with a cheat day on a cheat day, you just go for it and eat a bunch of untargeted garbage. Obviously, you can eat more, but if you’re trying to lose weight, eating more to feel better was how you got to this point to begin with, right? Physically, you can address the situation with proper rest and recovery. If you add a calorie deficit into the mix, things can get rugged: Those glycogen stores become depleted, your body exists in more of a stress state, and it wears you down mentally. While hard exercise is obviously great for you, it also breaks you down. Glycogen - carbohydrates that are stored in your liver and muscles - acts as your body’s backup fuel source. When you consume carbs, they’re broken down into glucose, or blood sugar. Your body uses this blood sugar as its primary fuel source. ![]() ![]() ![]() For a month beforehand, the roads leading to town are decorated with signs showing local crops and products made with them.
