An 8 out of 10 for Jamshid

I believe the use of the phrase "Straight out of Compton" by Jamshid in a Deseret News article deserves some serious credit. Unfortunately, I don't believe that I can give you a full 10 out of 10 on the credit scale for one specific reason. I can't imagine that NWA ever intended that "straight outta Compton" would ever be followed by the words "community college."

Which brings us to today's question: what phrases are most inappropriately paired with "straight outta Compton?" Here are a few that I thought of.

Straight outta the Compton Banana Republic,



Straight outta Compton's Public Library,



Straight outta Compton's local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan,



Straight outta Compton Sunday School,



Straight outta Compton's clogging competition,



Straight outta a Compton AA meeting,



Straight outta the Compton scrap booking convention,



Straight outta Compton accordion lessons.
