N.W.A "Straight Outta Compton" Tee 1988

Straight Outta Compton (1988) is the founding document of gangsta rap and West Coast hip-hop. Priority Records produced limited promotional merchandise for the album's release. The FBI famously sent Priority Records a letter about the track "F*** tha Police," generating priceless publicity. Original 1988-89 promo merchandise on Giant blanks predates N.W.A's commercial breakthrough and represents the raw, unfiltered beginning of a cultural movement. Authenticated originals: $1,500–$5,000.
