Show notes

Straight Outta Compton was considered controversial upon its release due to the explicit lyrics that were seen as glorifying criminal behavior and degrading women. Despite little airplay, the album still went triple platinum. Rickey Smiley joins josh to discuss the first and only N.W.A. album to include Ice Cube, who left the group in 1989 due to a financial dispute before he went on to have a successful solo career.

Show notes

Over half of Santana’s first album is composed of instrumental tracks, recorded by what started off as a free-form jam band. At the suggestion of manager Bill Graham, the band began writing more conventional songs like Evil Ways and Persuasion. Frankie joined us for Abraxas and returns to complete Santana’s appearances on T500.
