Time to witness the strength of street knowledge! On Wednesday, the Library of Congress announced the latest sound selections headed for their National Recording Registry, and N.W.A's 1988 album "Straight Outta Compton" is among the 25 historical sound recordings deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” for preservation by the nation's oldest federal cultural institution.
N.W.A's groundbreaking album "Straight Outta Compton" influenced a generation of musicians—and the evolution of West Coast hip hop. It was also the first album to receive a parental advisory label for explicit content. It reached triple platinum sales status and served as the basis for the 2015 biographical film Straight Outta Compton.
