Fresh off the streets from the underground
Nick-named MC Eiht, black brother gets down
Came to dazzle with the hip-hop funk
To let em know (This is Compton) Now what's up, punk
Westside rulin all world cause I dump
And the city that I'm from take no shit from a chump
Niggas don't care if their enemy's beefin
Pretty soon it's a homie you're grievin
You entered the criminal zone
If you're just a little punk-ass fool, you should run on home
Try to compare? Get real
I'm from Compton, so you should know the deal
Ballers, skeezers, no age limit matters
Loced-out muthafuckas make the one time scatter
Toe to toe, draw my mic and start dumpin
It's the down MC Eiht, and fool, this is Compton

Another crazy nigga from the city
Chill's from the C-p-t, you got beef? What a pity
I don't play, cause I slay all rap suckers
Down with E, killin rookie muthafuckas
Squabbin in the streets, with the left you fall
Make a right on Alondra, see my name on the wall
Not like the banger, but I bust up
(Any punk-ass fool that'll step up)
So follow me into the zone they call panic
Hubs by the dub, but suckers act frantic
Niggas rollin hard, number one on the pop
Crazy brothers goin out all for the gangbang, stop
Compton is thumpin, suckers we stompin
Rhymes on hit, but they still talk shit
I gives a fuck about a fool who's frontin
They call me Tha Chill, and yo, this is Compton

Compton is the city that I'm claimin
Hardcore fact with the gat, to the punks I start gamin
Devious, so what do you expect?
I'm from the city on missions, and I pop your fuckin neck
People understand what I'm sayin
Talk more shit, I'm on hit, keep the fools all payin
Niggas make the scale when they bail
Police punks talk shit, but you still get out of jail
Eiht represents the place with the bass
The beat you won't beat, you're just a disgrace
Try to be casual, but that shit won't work
Get sweated in a minute, cause they down for the dirt
Maximum capacity, the crowd just jumps
For the rhythm that I give em, make the souls all pump
Energetic, so don't forget it, yeah, the Eiht keeps pumpin
And fool, this is Compton

Punk muthafucka, Tha Chill will destroy ya
With the dope hub style for ya
Bein that you're just another fan on the tip
Get dropped by Eiht, Ant, Bam, and Slip
Suckers better watch out, Chill's here to scrap
As I say it everytime in my muthafuckin rap
Just like a warzone got my territory marked
You be slippin if you're caught in the dark
(Sorry clown) Don't be slippin
Don't go head up with Tha Chill
Cause Chill can kill
I can't stop because the city I'm from
I get too fucked up, and kick the ass of a bum
So if you got static, punk keep frontin
Yo E, they know where the fuck we from...
Yo, this is Compton

Fresh is the word, when I display my rappin forte
Quicker done than O.J., hey
I freaks my shit, E the lyrical master
Stress me out, no doubt, I might have to blast ya
Let me ask ya, can I gets busy one time?
And unwind and chill, with Cypress Hill
Huh, I go on with my bad self
I'm the four pound toter, the Phil blunt smoker
Believe me not, I'm wicked like three sixes
I'm doper than the Pete Rock remixes
Never walk through the crowd sluggish
I'm hardcore to the Bone, I'm Thuggish Ruggish
The Green-Eyed, Bandit, I be ERRRICK SERRRMON
I gets real determined
And one for the trouble, and two for the bass
I take it to your face with this here lyrical mace
And if you don't know, y'all better recognize
I'm coming through with speed, with pounds of weed

Ahh shit, another one of those gangsta hits
Niggaz wanna get busy with the ultimate
Fools get real, yo I'm representin the Hill
With chips and clips and tons of blue steel
So who wants to be the first nigga to die?
Then try and test this, buddha blessed Gemini
You get thrown sent home in a coffin
Punk stuff don't make it back, very often
I got Erick to take care of the Sermon
Ashes to ashes, dust, bodies burnin
Bustin open the doors to the temple
Takin you to the dark side of your mental

I rhyme tricky, the sticky smoka with the mind itchy
finger up on the pen, be like "He the bomb, dicky!"
These off-keys MC's hawk me, they won't get off me
So I kill em softly and use em as walkie talkies *bzzzzt*
Turn up my level adjust my voice pitch
Hoist this diagnosis, comatosis
is what I leave your crew with, boom bip or some two and two shit
Raw silk, cuz YOU DO IT TO MY MUSIC
*Funk Doctor Spock* lock the hypest
individual, to put criminal in diapers
With my nigga E and Cypress, what I write bitch
You swore, it was a nuclear war, crisis
in your back yard, word to God, Def Squad!
With my nigga Keith in the place takin charge
Word up you'll get hurt up like the jury callin murder
You're deaf cuz I freak shit you neva heard of

Steppin to the park in the Hill you can't hang
The original baby gangsta on this Compton thang
Don't slip, the late night hype, is when I dip
Boo-yaa is the sound from a lonely clip
Can't feel me, if I was crack you'd try to steal me
Heard you, and your little crew, wanna peel me
Keep your hands on your hood, you get got
The Green-Eyed Bandit, Cypress Hill, and the Funk Doctor Spock
You wish you could hang, like I hang
Dwells in the C-P-T, the hood thing
G, the trigga finger, I'ma get you
Hit you, the Tech 9, I'ma split you
Ain't no poppin, no stoppin
Tick to the tock, tick tock I hit your block
Throw your hands in the air, don't bite this
I squeeze, nigga please, the E down with Cypress

Most people feel safer around cops not only because they have guns, but because everyone (including criminals) knows they have guns. Why? Because bullets hurt and criminals don't like getting shot. This is why cops are rarely mugged, as opposed to old ladies in dark alleyways.

If something had happened in Compton, like a couple guys walking up and stating "I'm gonna kill you" , are you telling me that you would feel less safe if two (armed) cops showed up? How about if two (visibly unarmed) random passersby showed up?

I find it hard to believe that you don't feel safer around people with guns.

The truth is that, in most cases you aren't going to be lucky enough to have a couple cops walk in on a crime in progress. If two people walk up to you and state that they are going to kill you, 911 isn't going to help, the only thing that could possibly save your life is a firearm carried a nearby citizen, or you. This is true whether the weapon is a gun, a knife, a baseball bat, or a fist.

I think you expect me to say 'Yes, because they had guns'.

But my actual answer is 'No, because they just sat in their car and told us to leave.

I don't think you'll ever see the point. You think that if you have a gun you're safe, and that everyone can have guns because then everyone is safe. But all it means is that more people die from guns.

Did you feel safer next to the cops, and if so why?

In reply to this comment by spoco2:
Nope, because I live in a country with sensible gun control laws. (Australia)

Actually, the only time I've really feared for my wellbeing just by being in an area was when me and some friends somehow ended up in Compton, LA at night, and had the police bring us over to their squad car and tell us that we'd better get out of that area pretty quickly if we didn't want to be dead soon. Hurray for guns, hurray for everyone being armed, it makes you all so much safer.

You keep repeating your mantra of 'you need guns to defend against other guns'.

You keep doing that if it makes you happy.

A whoooole lot easier to kill people, and lots of them, who don't have guns, that is.

In reply to this comment by spoco2

To say that people have been able to kill people before the advent of guns is stating the absolute bleeding obvious, doesn't change the fact that guns make it a whoooole lot easier to kill people, and lots of them, quickly. And easier to accidentally kill people, or yourself for that matter.

I KNOW you're not front'in on CPT!?!

Let's all meet up in Compton.

He's saying, "We don't need cops in Wasilla, Alaska. We need cops in Compton, California." You go where the crime is, and the crime is not in free market capitalism. The crime is in governmental regulation, which involves sticking bureaucratic fingers in too many pies.

Paul isn't worried about the market, so he doesn't think it needs policing by the government. What he is worried about is the dollar, which is being devalued by inflation. This is a direct result of pumping too many dollars and too much debt into society, which is done by the Federal Reserve, along with the White House. That's where the crime is, and that's where the "police" should be.

>> ^rougy:
I like Ron Paul, but I'm just hearing some double-speak here.
It's like he's saying "we don't need any more cops, we just need law enforcement."

Clown walk? I've only heard of Crip Walk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crip_Walk

"It is also largely believed that the C-Walk was used as a warning to other gangs of a future attack by the Crips, or as a signal in a robbery. For example, the lookout would stand outside of the store and act as surveillance, while the robbers would lay in wait and await the signal: the C-Walk. Allegedly, Crips would also C-Walk after shooting or killing a rival gang member in celebration." - Wikipedia

It's interesting how the Crip Walk evolved from a gang sign used by criminal thugs to a gangsta rapper dance to this. Next step is legitimate academic recognition as a form of urban tap dance.

It reminds me of the myth of the "noble savage", because an observer from far enough away might marvel at the dance, song, and ritual that these mythical "Crips" from "Compton" created, without realizing they were instruments of a brutal culture.

ICE-T train. Connecting Compton to Watts?

^Did you watch them?

blankfist is excused because he lives in LA. Southern California isn't even America anymore (I can say that because I lived in Compton).

I was totally going to post this a while ago but thought no one would care/understand it/think it was interesting. This one is also REALLY good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCmcNve191M Right at the end you can actually see a tiny branched ray which I think is indicating a Compton scattering event! wow!
