I very well could have basically forgotten about them by now.

I kinda had a hard time as a kid not feeling like that wave right after NWA (CMW, ATL, even to a lesser degree Quik for a brief second) wasn't sorta riding the wave that Ice-T but especially NWA had carved out (and I still don't buy the claims that ATL somehow 'created g-funk' when Dre helmed the first record and to me they didn't fully embrace that sound until after Muggs & NWA's last album) but I've come to understand them more along with the nuances that separate ATL from NWA as well as Pomona from Compton.

Uncle Sam's Curse is my favorite even though it's probably less 'important' than Livin Like Hustlers. Love both though.
