It’s different now though. They don’t talk about consequences because they didn’t really live that lifestyle. So how could they know how it feels, other than to glorify a fetishized lifestyle they never lived but wish they did....
Always loved the dark, gritty and menacing way MC Eiht told stories about growing up on the streets of Compton. Music to Driveby is an underrated rap masterpiece imo.
Lol depends on what you mean by magical, this song is telling you how fucked up it was, nothing "magical" at all, and this was majority of 90s early 00 music
Man the pain in this song is so chilling, face value we would call this gangsta rap but this shit was a cry for help. Shit was so real back then even just hearing the words of despair from the brothers gives you a vicarious understanding of how fucked up it was. Whether they were in or out they still trapped regardless. Shouts out MC 8 one of the last of a dying breed. Rap will never be this real again
"Hey, CJ, tell me why I didn't finish high school." CJ: "Because you been dealing drugs, man, since the age of ten! (pauses, then laughs) Because you went and put hands on that teacher for wearing Ballas colors!"

South Central LA. Gang life, it’s sad, I lost 60 percent of my friends growing up. Takes me back when I listen to these Beautiful Jams. I wish the outcomes would of been different…
I like how MC Eiht shows through rap that gangsta's life is by no means as cool as a Hollywood movie, but full of sadness and despair. I think he talks about real social issues at the time.
Exactly gangsta rap and hardcore rap from the 90s often times despite the violent lyrics at times at least most of them told stories and talk about the down sides of the street life and the struggles of being in the streets unlike drill music does in today's time.
This isn't usually my kind of music, but this is an amazing piece of art - and the way it was transformed to be radio/MTV friendly without losing the message and hitting just as hard took real skill.
Respect to MC Eiht for re-writing this song to make is radio/MTV ready If you know the original lyrics, it's almost an art to transform this song to contain no bad words.
I dont think people notice this is different from the uncensored version. These lyrics fit way better with the song and the beat is more eerie. This version my favorite.
I just realize this song is actually telling us about how dangerous and mostly unsafe or uncomfortable become a gangster is..... because you can die in the considerably violent way anytime just by walking out home and it cool only for a temporary time but eventually get worst later
CMW... MC Eiht is underrated as it relates to what he brought to hip-hop, that West Coast gang and hood life...💯 “Hood Took Me Under”, “Straight Up Menace”....
This era was wild! Every hood in America in the 90s from Long Beach to Pittsburgh had hoods hard as nails.. kids weren't afraid to let hands fly or pull out the banger if it came down to it! There was no internet talk, when you bumped you knew what it was.. you had to stand up and we did! Kids now are trying to duplicate this and not living up to the same standard
So happy i can enjoy 90's rap and also todays rap/hip hop. I feel sorry for all these sensitive internet bangers who can't enjoy life. Literally complaining about music 😂
Ever since seeing Menace II Society as a kid, I have been a fan of Eiht and CMW. I copped Music to Driveby when I was 16 and in Job Corps. About got in a fight with some dude who saw the CD said "what is this lame ass shit?"
Did anybody else catch what it said on the poster to the right of MC Eiht. 0:26 "Dead or Alive for the 187 of DJ Quick" For anyone that didn't grow up in the 90's MC Eiht and DJ Quick had a legendary feud. Look up the you tube videos that talk about it for more details.
I might be crazy, and I am really, no exceptions, but I do really want to go back in 90's time period, to rhyme, smoke and live as wild as they were lived..
It’s funny because I actually like CMW waaaay more than NWA. NWA are icons no doubt, but I liked the solo careers NWA produced more than them together. CMW had more creative sampling and a different overall sound. Eiht has talked about how they didn’t wanna do that typical George Clinton sound. I mean shiiiit the fact they sampled figure 8 from schoolhouse rock shows CMW was on some other shit.
I remember being in the streets when this was out. It definitely influenced the streets around me. I wonder if artists like Eiht knew their music was being used to weaponized rap.
This beat has been playin' in my head all day long. I just had to come and check on this song. I used to be obsessed w/ this beat as a lot of artists used to use it back in the day. If you add that extra bass on it, it's gon thump a lil' harder.
@@supercharger_2596 You mean the song that G One wrote for Quik??? Bahahahaha. Eiht destroyed Quik on every single album, from Straight Checkn Em to Death Threatz. When Quik went soft with that Youz A Gangsta BS, Eiht was still dropping that hardcore ish. GTFOH!
Marcus White They cut a part out where Eiht was standing next to a cardboard cut out of Quik from his Way 2 Fonky cover.It had a hole in its face but you knew it still was Quik bcuz of his perm and the Compton jacket he use to wear
Diane V Quik wrote that the only reason G One's name was on the Murder Was The Case album credits was bcuz Quik was suspended by his record label profile and wasn't suppose to be on there or giving permission to be on anything.Thats why on them other Death Row projects Quik would use his real name David Blake or Dante Blake bcuz they couldn't touch him for disobeying their suspension He was signed as DJ Quik as a artist not David Blake
This is I love watching these timeless classics I grew up watching this on MTV and just TV in the early 90s I grew up to CMW and I came from a neighborhood of crips but I didn't distinguish music from pirus or Crips it was just life growing up in the hood. This take me back.
Real Gangsta rap does'nt glorify crime but tells you the game and reality of the streets.
word! this is reality in music but people prefer live in the magic life when the streets goes hard asf.
It’s different now though. They don’t talk about consequences because they didn’t really live that lifestyle. So how could they know how it feels, other than to glorify a fetishized lifestyle they never lived but wish they did....
Exactly, the streets dont love NOBODY!
