Darker and Edgier: Much of the attention surrounded the heavier lyrical themes and sound compared to most hip hop at the time. Even in today's standards, the violent content has been tamed down as most of it is commercial glitz rap. | |

Take That! | |
| Straight Outta Compton (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: "Fuck Tha Police", against the police. "Dopeman" against drug dealers. "A Bitch Is A Bitch" against bitches. "Compton's In The House" has a diss against Romeo and Master Rhyme, who had a song called "Crackerjack" with the last line: "What do you call a crew that can rock like that? You call that crew a Crackerjack": "Something Like That" also disses their rivals: | |

Shout-Out | |
| Straight Outta Compton (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Ice Cube raps in the title track that he has a crime record like Charles Manson. "Fuck Tha Police" was referenced in Kanye West's "All Fall Down", Ice-T's "Cop Killer", The Game (Rapper)'s "Doctor's Advocate" and Lil Wayne's "Mrs. Officer". "Gangsta Gangsta" disses Nancy Reagan's "Just Say "No"" campaign against drugs "If It Ain't Ruff": "8 Ball" namedrops Marvin Gaye and the rap group C.I.A., of which Ice Cube was a member before he joined N.W.A. "Something Like That" references Matt Dillon and Gunsmoke. "Compton's In The House" references boxer Mike Tyson and The Twilight Zone (1959). "I Ain't Tha 1" references "Wild Thing" by The Troggs. At the end of the song, there's a reference to an Eddie Murphy standup routine. "Straight Out Of Surrey" is a parody of this album by Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer. "Straight Outta Lynwood" (2006) is a parody title by "Weird Al" Yankovic. Tupac Shakur sampled "Straight Outta Compton", "Fuck Tha Police" and "Gangsta Gangsta" on his album 2Pacalypse Now and Oasis did the same on their song "D'You Know What I Mean" on "Be Here Now". Eminem sampled "A Bitch Is A Bitch" on "Without Me" from his album "The Eminem Show". The Dutch hip-hop band Osdorp Posse took a literal translation from the line "If you fuck with me I'll put my foot in your ass" from "Gangsta Gangsta" in their own song "Kort Maar Krachtig". They also literally translated the line "straight from the 'underground'" from "Fuck Tha Police" on several of their tracks. "A Glitch Is A Glitch" is the title of an episode of Adventure Time spoofing the song title of "A Bitch Is A Bitch". | |

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: "I Ain't Tha 1" is close to entirely devoid of profanity, yet it does contain sexually explicit themes. Consequently, this trope was in play in some of the lyrics. | |

Joker Jury: "Fuck Tha Police" has a cop being tried by MC Ren, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Eazy-E and eventually convicted for being "a redneck, whitebread, chicken-shit motherfucker". | |

Album Filler | |
| Straight Outta Compton (Music) / int_ddf8c5ba | comment |
Album Filler: "Something 2 Dance 2" is considered to be this by most fans. It's basically an excuse to give N.W.A. member Arabian Prince a chance to Step Up to the Microphone and rap some meaningless lyrics to a danceable electro track. | |

| Straight Outta Compton (Music) / int_ea454c4a | comment |
Surprisingly Gentle Song: In a way of speaking... "Express Yourself" is one of the few NWA tracks to almost completely lack profanity. It was made because they needed something that radio stations could play. | |
