Compton's Most Wanted's CD It's A Compton Thing is one of the best debut rap albums to ever grace the rap industry. I remember when the tv channel The Box was just hitting the airway's back in '90, the Compton's Most Wanted video "One Time Gafflin' Up" was one of the videos that I could identify on that channel. MC Eiht & Chill MC made a great dynamic duo even though Chill MC was heard on half of the CD. As one writer said, this was the alternative to NWA at that time. My favorite song on here is "It's Compton Thang" the title track with "Late Night Hype" in second by a hair. This CD did not really have a lot of explicit lyrics in it for a group from Compton. Live at Lonzo's is short but dope rhyming from Chill & Eiht. It's a shame that Chill MC did not rap on Staight Check'em or Music to Driveby because I think from a lyrical standpoint, he was better than Eiht(No offense). Overall, an outstanding debut and this is their second best one after Music to Driveby. One final thing, what ever happened to Chill MC? Peace!!

mc eiht was tight and this was his first joint back in the day featurex the chill mc who somehow fell off after this first release anyway cmw was like nwa's flipside and if eazy and the ruthless posse was'nt so mainstream they would have probaly sounded liuke this but still I love eiht's rhymeflow like in the final chapter with about 4 james brown samples keeping it ghetto, and late nite hype which uses anita baker's angel very nicely while eiht and chill describe the hood and what can happen if you're caught slipping at night and it's a compton thing is my favorite I miss the good old days.

this album has it all great lyrics by eiht and tha chill great beats by dj slip and dj unknown this is my most played cd can wait for tha chill solo album

YO.THIS CD IZ OLDE SCHOOL THE RHYMES ARE RUFF BEATS ARE SLAMMING.UNFORTUANATLY.MY CD ONLY HAD 10 TRACKS COMPARED TO 11 THAT THIS CD CARRIES 46:09 DJ ANT-C PRODUCES THIS RARIETY

Just a sick album. not to be slept on. front to back. sick beats, hard rhymes. Amazing how lyrical this is compared to most bubble gum and fake gangster dance rap today.
