Compton's Most Wanted
Gangsta rap traditionalists whose naked aggression was only tempered by deft production. IT'S A COMPTON THING contained enough obscenities to ensure that it was also made available in a censored version, but at least by MUSIC TO DRIVEBY, whose cliched title did not bode well, they had honed their punishing, forceful formula. Lead rapper MC Eiht's pseudonym, incidentally, stands for ‘Experienced In Hardcore Thumpin'’. The other pivotal member is DJ Slip, who has produced for other acts including DFC, with whom Eiht has also duetted.
