Geyeah!!
On today's plate I have MC Eiht & Compton's Most Wanted. These guys are one of my favs. If you don't know who MC Eiht is first off you've been sleeping under a rock. This guy was one of the foundation of Compton rappers in the late 80's and early 90's. He made a guest spot in Menace II Society (how many of you forgot Too $hort was in there too?) as A-Wax, one of the hardest dudes in the hood. And his song on the soundtrack, Streiht Up Menace was the summer banger. Down load the remix here: Remix. While today Eiht is not on a major label, at my last recollection, he was on Koch, he has never sold out. he is still true, still rappin about the hood and keeping it real. I have included a mix of some nice remixes some rare some that I just like for you.
Compton's Most Wanted - "Growin Up In the Hood" (Remix):

Most people know about the beef between he and DJ Quik. MC Eiht took offense to something Quik said on an underground tape. Word has it that Eiht misunderstood what Quik said. Eiht was quick to jump the gun figuring it had to do with gang affiliation, Eiht's a Crip and Quik a Blood. Some bad blood spilled out from this on to wax. As evidenced on this next track Eiht didn't take shit for anyone:
Compton's Most Wanted - "Def Wish II" (DJ Premier Remix):

This tune was a cassette only track off CMW's first album "It's A Compton Thang" entitled "We Made It":

Here are 2 remixes of "Geez make the Hood Go Round" off of Eiht solo album

Finally a remix of Old Dirty Bastard with Eiht "Shimmy Shimmy Ya'll":

In recent years, Eiht has put out a few less notable albums (Ol school gangsta heads would still like these albums) and he has 2 acclaimed albums with Spice 1 and also a duet album with Brotha Lynch Hung which is worth a listen IMO. He has also put out an album under the alias TOny Smallz. Here is a track with The Game:

And most recently Compton's Most Wanted has put out a reunion album, so Eiht has been keeping busy. GEYEAH!!
The hard to find album- "Hood Arrest":

"Spigity 1 whippin on that ass Bia'ch."
Just wondering if you guys have heard the old Compton compilation that came out in about 87 on Macola (I Think). The cover has a "The Posse" type pic on it.
I've never heard the track myself but want to pretty bad.
BULLANT
props on this post.
bullant- i only have the Posse 2- Haven't converted it from cassette to mp3 yet. I willl try to pick the first one up though....
Eiht's music has been awful since "We Come Strapped" He fell to into the bad keyboard/wanna be G-Funk trend and never recovered.
You need to post "It's a Compton Thang" "Straight Checkin Em" and "Music to Drive By"
@ Straight Checkin Em
The compliation i'm talking about isn't one of the 'Posse' comps but the cover is real simular which is why I'm pretty sure it dropped on Macola. One thing for sure, it has the word 'Compton' in the title and has a CMW track on it.
Thanks.
bullant, i have another one called Prime Kuts and CMW is on the front cover but don't have a song on it. But I dont have the one you are talking about I guess. Let me kno if you find it, i am always keeping my eyes open for anything I dont have.
