Eiht is one of my fave on the West. Especially We Come Strapped. Fuckin dope album.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

You know whats crazy? I was just reading the Eiht bio on AllMusicGuide and it said that We Come Strapped debuted at number 1 on the billboard RnB chart when it came out.

Can you imagine an MC Eiht album or any West Coast underground gangsta MC getting that kinda recognition these days?

That was the best time for Eiht definitely...came out the summer after everybody finally heard him on "Streiht Up Menace" also had a little controversy over "Take 2 With Me" and the sticker on the front that said "The Lyrical Content Contained on This Album Solely Expresses The Views of the Artist". The thing is I took that era for granted because I never thought it would get like this...I took Cube debuting at #1 on the pop charts as the norm, so it wasn't surprising for Eiht to go to #1 on the rnb charts. Especially after the movie and the hit single, everybody was saying "gyeah" lol That allmusic review is pretty positive if I remember.

btw, does anybody have a dirty version of the 159th St REMIX of "Geez Make the Hood Go Round"?

I think he also did some producing, I'll try to list some tracks later.

Yea I like Eiht, don't really like his new shit as much (pretty generic) but he has plenty of classics and is definitely a west coast legend...

Favorites:
1. The Hood Is Mine (Eiht's best track of recent years, showed he can still come HARD. Techniec came heated too)
2. Streiht Up Menace
3. Aint Nuthin 2 It
4. Hit The Floor ft. Daz (This was the first song I really noticed who Eiht was, and then started to listen to him a lot more.)

Favorite album - hard to decide, I hold a lot of them on an even standard, but if I have to choose I'll say Death Threatz.

and also no 5 on the pop charts!  :o

the reason why not many ppl know him is because he dont have that many guessts on his albums, and he's not makin G-Funk.. but the Slip-Funk is funky enuff for me!   8)

"u got beef muthafucka thats cool... say hello to the muthafuckin tool"

one of my favorites tracks: "Niggaz makes the hood go round"

i also likes the def wish songs.. and all songs from "its a compton thang"


i gotta admit that i think eiht dont flow as well as he did before tho.. somehow its not the same, he changed his style a bit..  :-\

"We get it" from Th8ts gangsta is the way i want eiht to spit!! he still got it in him,.. so im waitin for another classic  8)

MC Eiht is a west coast legend for sure! His recent stuff hasn't been too good, but I think he still has it in him to make some more classics. My favorite Eiht album is "Section 8".
