I listened to Elif4zaggin for the first time in about 15 years, and man, what sophomoric garbage that record was. Especially in comparison to Cube's Amerikkka's Most Wanted probably my favorite record from that era.
While Dre's production was great, the lyrics went from dumb to stupid back to dumb again.
And whatever happened to MC Ren? He fell off the face of the earth after they broke up. Even Yella had his pr0n 'career'.

I didn't know Ice Cube did any wrestling. He did, but it was before the territory system started to fall apart. That's where he did most of his best work. |

I liked EFIL4Zaggin. Probably not on the level of SOOC or 100 Miles and Runnin' but enjoyable.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

Okay, I haven't heard either album. How do you pronounce that?

I don't think it sucks by any means. You could make a case for it being even better produced than SOOC, the just group took a different. With Cube there was a tinge of reporting from the streets, without him it's just a super destructive nihilist record. Both options are awesome.

I love Efil4Zaggin, I think it's them being aware how much America is afraid of them and playing up to it, making an album that is basically a parody of themselves. 'Automobile' is a jaunty country song about trying to rape a girl in the backseat. You don't just accidentally make something that hilarious.
It's much more cohesive than Compton, too. Compton had its opening three songs or so to scare the horses, then the rest was generally quite contemporary posse rap cuts for the most part, or 'If It Ain't Ruff' which is a really cute, profanity-free rap about how awesome MC Ren is at rapping.
Efil4Zaggin is more of a complete piece, it all makes sense together, the production is cohesive, and it also opens with 'Real N**** Don't Die' which 1. is probably my favourite song of theirs and 2. always my CAW entrance music because it sounds like the world ending.
Of course, their best work, I'd say, is the 100 Milez And Runnin' EP, for the title track and 'Just Don't Bite It' alone.
None of their later stuff touches the great songs on Compton, but a lot of Compton kinda sucked - or didn't suck, but wasn't as innovative, as daring, as flat out extraordinary as those other songs were.

I'm going to derail all this N.W.A. chitter-chatter and tell everyone to listen to the D.O.C. That's a cat who deserves more love. (His best record was produced by Eazy and Dre, and I think he's from Compton-ish.)

D.O.C was from Texas. I can't remember where though.
Ren had a few solo albums after NWA. I used to have Shock of the Hour. One half was gangsta rap and the second half was socio-political type rap.

I noticed that on Compton, and on Eazy's first album, the second sides, every other song was clean |

I'm pretty 'meh' about NWA post-Cube, only because Straight Outta Compton was one of the first rap albums I ever loved.
