N.W.A. AND THE POSSE is a gritty, unpolished excursion into gansta rap, a genre that was still in its infancy at the time of this release. Deep-pitched kick drums and cavernous, snapping snares courtesy of the 808 drum machine provide the rhythmic backbone for all the tracks.

N.W.A.'s graphic lyrics deal with daily life in the ghettos of Compton, though an overt sense of humor helps to leaven the braggadocio and misogynism. Sampling is used creatively in "Drink It Up," a tribute to alcohol that lifts the refrain from the Isley Brothers' "Twist and Shout."
