    "crap"? Ah, I get it. "Compton rap".

    Clever abbreviation.

    So, is he working at Apple or not? One would think that having a full time job while developing a new crucial app such as Apple Music, he would not have free time to create an album... just saying..

    Don't forget: it took him 15 years.

    Sad I cannot find (the original) Straight Outta Compton on ?Music. I really wanted to hear it since I never got the chance to listen to it.

    Interesting. Are there any NWA songs available? I wonder if it's a rights issue.

    I always found this funny on their debut album. In the song Express Yourself, written by Ice Cube and performed by Dr. Dre, they say they don't smoke weed because it can give you brain damage.

    I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or a sess*.
    Cause its known to give a brother brain damage.
    And brain damage on the mic don't manage


    * A slang term for sinsemilla ?(plural sinsemilla) which in Spanish means "without seeds," but is a technique of growing cannabis where only the female is allowed to blossom. Without pollen from the male plant, the female blossoms produce no seeds, forming large panicled flowers.

    Well he's not working 24/7 at Apple. He has weekends and vacation days. He might have a "chronic" sickness as an excuse to take sick day. ????

    I don't understand these comments either a person working for Apple or even Apple itself is incapable of doing more than one thing.

    Well, there was a best of available. But all of a sudden it turned up today when I searched for it again. Just downloading it now for off-line listening.

     

    There were a few albums that weren't on iTunes for purchase, when the iTMS launched here. Unfortunately, some of it is still not available with ?Music, like Richard Pryor.
