W.A. Legacy Volume 1 / 988- 7 998 CD Courtesy of Priority Records It has been a long time coming, but the N.W.A family has finally been reunited on CD. Actually it’s two CDs. Although this compilation has 26 songs, only three are actually performed by N.W.A., the pioneering gangsta rap group straight outta Compton. The rest are performed by the N.W.A. legacy — members of the group and per formers closely associated with the band. This CD has cuts from a wide variety of artists including Eazy-E, Ice Cube, MC Ren, Dr. Dre, TUpac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. Ba sically, this is a CD of West Coast perform ers. This album has remixes of popular hip- hop songs such as “Boyz-N-Tha Hood,” “It Was a Good Day” and “Murder Was The Case.” Some newer songs from many of the artists are also included. This album has great sentimental value for anybody who grew up listening to these artists and will provide hours of musical en tertainment while remembering the good old days of middle and high school. (Grade: B-) Citizen King Mobile Estates CD Courtesy of Warner Brothers Records A _ , tv.,., juniorL Various Artists ■MWomei Lock, Stock and Two Smoh'ng to^the Varsi! CD Courtesy of Maverick Recc Company Citizen King, a five-man band from Wis consin, mixes a variety of synthesizers and samples with a rock ’n’ roll attitude on their new CD, Mobile Estates. Much like Beck’s Odelay, Citizen King successfully mixes melodies with heavy dos es of sampling. On tracks such as “Jalopy Style” and “Billhilly,” the result is a song that leaves the listener grooving and jump ing along with the music. However, in sever al places on the album, Citizen King abuses the mixing that makes their music so unpre dictable and enjoyable. In songs such as “Safety Pin,” too much sampling drowns out the band’s original and often funny lyrics and bogs the album down. Perhaps the best aspect of Mobile Estates is the band’s attitude. Citizen King refuses to take themselves too seriously, adding a lighter tone to their music. On Mobile Estates, Citizen King sounds like they enjoy their music rather than simply banging it out — an uncommon commodity for many bands these days.
