Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
Photographer: William Hames.
Despite the name, The N.W.A Legacy, Vol. 2 isn't an N.W.A release per se, but a compilation of tracks from the pioneering hip-hop group's members and various associates. Snoop Dogg, for instance, shows up five times (in various permutations), while N.W.A is only represented by three tracks, including album cut "Appetite for Destruction." The other two numbers, however, weren't featured on either 1988's Straight Outta Compton or 1991's Niggaz4life: "Hello," from Ice Cube's War & Peace, Vol. 2, and "Chin Check," from 1999's Next Friday soundtrack (and in which Snoop Dogg shows up a sixth time, filling in for Eazy-E, who passed away in 1995). This 78-minute release is a follow-up to 1999's well-received two-disc set The N.W.A Legacy, Vol. 1: 1988-1998. If the lineup of artists isn't identical -- 2Pac and N.W.A's DJ Yella, for instance, don't make repeat appearances -- it's quite similar (Mack 10 and D.O.C. do). Highlights include the two non-LP N.W.A tracks and the Westside Connection's Ice Cube-penned "Gangsters Make the World Go Round," a humorously ironic take on the Stylistics' 1971 hit, "People Make the World Go Round." You could say that volume two is more of a taster for the N.W.A fan -- or soon-to-be fan -- than a full-course meal, as Priority would re-release digitally remastered versions of Compton, Niggaz4life, and Eazy-E's Eazy-Duz-It only a few weeks later. ~ Kathleen C. Fennessy
When the hardcore hip-hop collective known as N.W.A. first appeared on the scene in the '80s, they blew their fair share of minds. Before this Compton crew arrived, no one had heard such mind-blowing beats married to such unapologetically sociopathic lyrics. The combined talents of Ice Cube, Eazy-E, and Dr. Dre made N.W.A. the standard by which all subsequent gangsta rap (and indeed many other hip-hop subgenres) would be judged.
Some 14 years down the road, some members of the crew have gone on to even more successful solo careers, while others (namely Eazy-E) passed away too soon. But the group's glory days are both remembered and celebrated on this compilation. Featured here are a combination of solo tracks from the group members, a couple of full-fledged N.W.A. tracks, and offerings from peers and admirers ranging from Kurupt to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, often with participation from Snoop, Eazy, or Dre. Whatever the format, you can rest assured that this disc is pure gangsta from start to finish.
