Album Notes & Community Reviews

Widely heralded as MC Eiht's masterwork, the Compton group's third album is an exceptionally vivid, cinematic document of West Coast gangsta rap. The impeccably produced beats heavily utilize smooth soul and jazz samples to offset Eiht's lethargic, cold-blooded storytelling concerning street violence and police brutality.
