Yes, the Library of Congress is meant to preserve historically significant music. Whether you enjoy it or not Straight Out of Compton is very significant. Elvis is in the Library of Congress and he is less original than NWA. But his influence was major enough to warrant preservation of his music.

wtf? should we also ban old literature because it's a bit tribal? this album is undoubtedly historically significant--just because you think it's offensive or in poor taste is irrelevant. also 'forget tha police' is a great song.
PhantOS:
its interesting to see a group that advocates for the murdering of police officials to be held in such high light by the government
