Released in August of 1988, the album arguably had one of the biggest impacts on the industry than any other. The album embodied the genre of gangsta rap, and launched it into mainstream popularity. One of its biggest impacts was how it helped shift focus from the East coast to the West, establishing that coast as the power player of rap in the early '90s.
Just type "Straight Outta Compton" into google and every single one of the countless sites that talk about the album say two FACTS that you seem to keep ignoring..

-1988 release date
-first mainstream gansta rap album
