I've never heard of Growing Up In Tha Hood with Chill on it, who has a link?
I've never heard of Growing Up In Tha Hood with Chill on it, who has a link? How close is Long Beach to Compton distance wise?Were those Compton hats in effect on the streets prior to NWA or was that something NWA created? Anything good on that Compton Compilation tape? I used to see it on sale back in the day but I never copped it.I'm glad they did this interview, I wanted the entire group to do White Label Radio but this has alot of gems. As much as I love Straight Checkin Em and Music To Drive By a part of me would still love to hear Chill on it.
As for the color of the hats, N.W.A Chose black and gray as the groups colors because they weren't affiliated with crips or bloods (allowing em to do shows in the area when they first formed). However those cities hats were sometimes Blue or Red (reading Bompton instead of Compton) depending on the affiliation. You'd see those type of hats in cities that didn't have a sports team making gear with they city name on it explicitly on it, sometimes even then.
some people get there ass-beat for sporting the wrong clothes
CMW > NWA
(...) NWA albums sound dated as fuck and replay value on them are meh.
