I always wanted to jack Lee Dorsey's 'Give It Up'. Of course, when I copped CMW's 'Give It Up' a few years ago, visiting the left coast and diggin' at the OC record swap, I came to the grand realization, listening thru my Mister Disc, that the mofos beat me to it ages ago. So psyched that I was to drop it on the radio show, I didn't bother listening to the lyrics, which were extremely XXX for the airwaves. The 1st line is about giving up that pussy or something...cut it off and mad dash for the replacement track. Good times.
Shit! This is the Tread I always wanted to start!! "Rhymes too funky" is my shit! The whole first Album is
I just got a tape of the Cd back in 91' which has never left my car ever since. Vinylwise I just have a 12" of "This is Compton" on TechnoHop. If someone has a spare copy of the first Album on Orpheus, please pm me...I will pay top eurodollar...
"I heard you did a show on your mom's tapedeck, fool..." "CMW is that you man? - Yeah - Keep playin that shit, I like that shit... Woman, cancel that 911 call, they ain't comin anyway, this is compton"
Does anybody have the scoop on why Tha Chill was no longer rhymin' w/ Eiht after the 3rd Lp? It seemed like he eventually faded from the team. WTF???
I read a CMW interview once and Chill said he was always in and out of Prison and jail and he would record when he was not locked up. Maybe Chill caught a major case after the 3rd LP? Or maybe he is producing wack back pack rap now! A few months ago a friend played me some terrible new Micha9 record and he said CMW produced it. LOL

well, seeing as Cali passed a 3-strikes law back in like '93 or so, it's quite possible dude is locked up.
the cmw lp i don't have is music to drive by anyone want to trade? anyways, the 1st lp is pure fire! there are 2 pressings of the lp that I know of. one of them has a short version of rhymes 2 funky and another pressing has some other song that I forgot the title of instead of rhymes too funky. The long version of rhymes too funky is on the above mention compton compilation
oh yeah I just found that E.V.I.A.N joint at arons but when I checked the condition of the wax, another electro record was inside! Oh well still got the cover at least..

Eiht is my shit!
Is that on the album released on Orpheus.. I gotta go to my moms and dig that out..
peace.
I keed.
CMW does not get enough love. I think people front on them now owing to their name. Damn ig'nant masses!
Only because the public's attention has shifted south. Plus, the last couple of solo albums were
So you enjoyed the "complexity" of Eiht's lyrics?! Man, you're starting to sound a little
Did I ever mention "complexity" in any of my previous posts? Your drinkin'
Gaytorade.
someone needs to make a icon for this...
That would have been funny is this was like 2000 and Haterade wasn't an already established and much more appropriate term.
The only way to describe how this song makes me feel is
first released on the Compton compilation lp......anybody got that lp for me ? please
$??

I don't have a spare, but can hook up mp3's. PM if interested.
And co-sign on everything said about CMW. Underappreciated, all-time greats.

for good.
Not selling my Orpheus album neither.. Ha.
I have this DJ Slip produced album, 'Compton Compilation' which has an early CMW track. Love that Legion of Boom track. Quicksand is also dope.
Best image I could find...

Was this a promo only 12" because I only found this at my radio station and never seen it.
