Available in:
Compton's Most Wanted is an American gangsta rap group and one of the original pioneers of the West Coast hip hop scene. C.M.W. included rappers MC Eiht, Boom Bam, Tha Chill, DJ Ant Capone, who was later replaced by designated scratcher DJ Mike T, and producers DJ Slip & The Unknown DJ.
In the mid-1980s, founding members Tha Chill and MC Eiht were writing raps and recording demo tapes (also called "hood tapes") in their spare time while gang bangin' in their hood in Compton CA. Tha Chill & MC Eiht choose to leave that street corner hustle scene in Compton and start making money in a legit but fun way when they saw their long time friend MC Ren of the multi platinum West Coast hip hop group N.W.A. started to create a huge street buzz in the Los Angeles County area by releasing records along with rapper Eazy E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Arabian Prince. In 1987, while in Compton, The Unknown DJ was given one of these "hood tapes" by a friend and became very interested in the diverse style and rhyme schemes of the "Compton's Most Wanted" rap group. The Unknown DJ then took the "hood tape" to DJ Slip in Gardena, a city just south of Compton, who at the time was the owner of Los Angeles County's largest DJ Rental business called "Music People - DJ4HIRE".
