That's because it is culturally significant. Straight Outta Compton is widely regarded as one of the most important hip-hop albums and it influenced a stuffload of other artists and albums.
Just because you disagree with the 'message' or the content doesn't make it less important as a historical document. Which is the whole reason why the Library of Congress actually preserves things.
Even if you have valid complaints against the subject matter, Straight Outta Compton is probably one of the less-controversial inclusions anyway. The Library of Congress has a pretty extensive 'Third Reich Collection':
