Country: U.S.A Genre: Hip-Hop Style: Gangsta Rap © 1992 Priority Records Released in the aftermath of the 1991 L.A. Riots, radiates tension. Infuses nearly every song, and certainly every interlude, with the hostile mood of the era. Even the album's most laid-back moment, 'It Was a Good Day,' emits a quiet sense of violent anxiety. Granted, 's previous albums had been far from gentle, but they were filled with a different kind of rage.

On both (1990) and (1991), he took aim at society in general: women, whites, Koreans, even his former group members in. Here, is more focused. He found a relevant episode to magnify with the riots, and he doesn't hold back, beginning with the absolutely crushing 'When Will They Shoot?' The song's wall of stomping sound sets the dire tone of and is immediately followed by 'I'm Scared,' one of the many disturbing interludes comprised of news commentary related to the riots. It's only during the aforementioned 'It Was a Good Day' that somewhat alleviates this album's smothering tension. It's a truly beautiful moment, a career highlight for sure.

However, the next song, 'We Had to Tear This Mothafucka Up,' eclipses the relief with yet more calamity. By the time you get to the album-concluding 'Say Hi to the Bad Guy' and its mockery of policeman, hopelessness prevails. Is a grim album, for sure, more so than anything would ever again record. In fact, the darkness is so pervasive that the wit of previous albums is absolutely gone.

Besides the halfhearted wit of 'Gangsta's Fairytale, Pt. 2,' you won't find any humor here, just tension. Given this, it's not one of 's more accessible albums despite boasting a few of his biggest hits. It is his most serious album, though, as well as his last important album of the '90s. The 2015 pressing is not a remaster, it is a reissue of the original 1992 pressing. That's why they sound the same. The 2003 version is the only remastered version of this album that was released but it contains 20 tracks not 16.

Both the original and the 2015 reissue contains the same mastering and 16 tracks total. Hip-Hop remasters in general don't improve or sound that much different from their original releases. A perfect example of this is 'The Main Ingredient' by Pete Rock & CL Smooth. The deluxe edition that was released in 2010.

Both versions are available on this site and the 2010 release doesn't sound any better than the original 1994 release. The same goes for 'Illmatic' The original 1994 pressing has lower volume.

The first remastered version released in 2004 just made the volume louder but the audio and the master doesn't sound very different or show signs of any improvement. Ok I know what it means to reissue but I must point out that many recent press like 'reissue' actually have a higher volume so they should be passed as 'remastered' the highest volume is a problem and is called loudness war. I did not understand if the copy you put on your site is the 'reissue' of 2015 or the original. I can give you many examples, for example the reissue of eazy-duz-it of 2015 sounds as strong as the 2013 remastered and not like the first press master. I think the first press of the predator has a lower volume but if you confirm that this is the first press and not a reissue I'm sure. Yes I know the recording world is strange 馃檭.for example the reissue of straight outta compton on your site is a reissue of the master of 1988. Sorry for the trouble.
