[@derrickwashington3181]

Good morning, sir your absolutely right about that, being Humble like that takes A lot humility and A lot of knowledge and also Knowing who God in your life to him

[@thehighestviewisbest8774]

I remember in 1990 I was 13 years old. MC Eiht came to Northwest Plaza in St.Louis Mo. Maybe he was in town for a show, my friend Brian and I saw him at the mall that day. He was so gangsta on TV but the most humble and kind person in real life. He said hello to us and didn't make us feel like we annoyed him. I never forgot that day. He was the first famous person I ever met. Yeah 8 is a real one. I'm now 46 and remember that like it was yesterday. I will always be an MC Eiht fan.

[@RICHGODSTV]

I’m from Stlouis Louis I’m from colony north

[@KerryDSC]

so much respect for MC Eiht, dude is a leader and a legend. These young dude's need to follow his example and adopt his humility

[@BBroadnax]

Bro, "Music to drive by" is a fuccin banger. The production is soo good and still holds up to this day. In my top 5 of favorite albums.

[@duvalcounty1454]

He told the whole Menece 2 Society movie in one song

[@Plonuts]

Legendary Shit 💪🏿💙

[@lovedoctor519]

The greatest soundtrack song of all time. That and Gangsters Parade.

[@KooleyWunnaDem]

That beat was so hard too

[@L_Matic]

Some just can’t be fake! MC Eiht a real one!

[@dorianbedorian211]

We Come Strapped...is the fundamental gang canger album. I STILL listen to the entire album to this day.

[@djeanpierre]

Me too. That and Music to Driveby are staples.

[@poohwecampbell7799]

Education is priceless!!! That hood shit don’t do you know good claiming sets don’t bring in real checks,pay attention to your worth ..that’s how rappers like him ended up getting robbed.. it’s not to many rappers from the 80’s & 90’s that made it rich !! They just wanted fame .. FACTS

[@johnblack4915]

Dont care about his financial status..hes my top 5 rappers of all time.. from the "blue tapes"and to now...hes still the "Shakespeare of Gangsta Rap" Geaaah ..still bang all his shyt to this day..😎

[@ForrleafTaeBacc]

man that dude flow and delivery was unmatched, the way he snapped on Spice Murda show is one of his hardest verses to date IMO

[@Light_144]

Yessss💋💋💋💋💋💋💋😍😍😍😍💥💥💥💥🙌🙌

[@chennao]

Eiht super chill met him a few times. He's definitely someone you can blaze up with

[@curleynewell7686]

I met McEight at nicks records and tapes in flint.I could see you were a good guy, you still are

[@everett7903]

This is why I respect Eiht. He's straight up about how he was wronged. Most homies would have been quiet. Somebody needs to get with Unknown for real. Everytime I bump Music To Drive By and Straight Checkin Em Eiht should get paid.

[@annetteward2977]

I rock with Eiht, he is 💯 an OG real💯💪🏽💪🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@evanthomas4468]

MC Eiht is speaking that truth. So many people think it's that easy to get a high amount of money. They gotta learn,its far from it by any means. Nothing worth having comes without hard work. Keep tellin em Eiht, spend that money wisely.

[@derrickbrowder8711]

Eight was the first rapper I ever saw in real life. It was amazing. He signed my CD. I was away from Kentucky. Been a Man ever since

[@ericjohnson4792]

Yo I’m from Baltimore and that joint nuttin but gansta was rockin in my joint everyday back in 94. Glad to see my dude got his head on straight

[@kevinlarabee-qs4yo]

Still real as hell living like he was in Menace 2 Society. Someone I can see walking out the most ghetto chicken place n sitting on money for years. Don't showcase what u have, shows why after all these years he's still here in the game. Fan since the A-wax days a legend still making the great old school beats

[@A_Beautiful_Death]

Save your money and your money will save you.

[@beverlyx9546]

Not necessarily. 💯 It might cause you problems. 💯

[@lorenzohunter6658]

I want the Lord to save me and bless me in a comfortable position!

[@Guto_Loco_Gushek_Brasil]

His modesty and maturity makes him one of the coolest guys in hip-hop ever. Just like that old school ass DJ Squeaky goes: “Don't change when money comes around, cause what goes up must come down”. MC Eiht was aware of that, and not too many have the maturity he got.

[@TheAutisticCapricorn811]

A rare example of advisable common sense that a lot of people never build from within themselves for when the money flows. Money is the root of all evil, and it'll pump up a person's ego to be even more selfish and fuckheaded than ever if they're not careful to handle shit wit it. Man, I wish I had MC Eiht as my father. I can live and learn a helluva lot from a guy like him. There aren't as many bruthas in the game that's about as real as him, and that's what's shameful.

[@Guto_Loco_Gushek_Brasil]

@@TheAutisticCapricorn811 Words of wisdom, fam. Perfectly put. Peace out.

[@MR.MAN_W]

GREAT INTERVIEW THAT BEAT IS SICK‼️

[@CurserTV]

I met him in 96 in Chicago. Super cool guy

Always fuuq’d with Eiht. Underrated and should’ve blown up way bigger than he did.

[@mstiffthaboss9194]

That’s why I love me some MC Eiht, just real and down to earth.

[@derrickwashington3181]

This is what really impressed me about McEiht, I love how he navigated the Rap industry ❤❤❤❤ much love My Dude, from DjThaGreat

[@jimy0803]

greatest story-teller in gangsta hip hop history. his gangsta-stories were unparalleled. “streiht checkin’ em” was my personal favorite.

[@TucsonHipHopHeadSince78]

Put the pipe down. He wasn’t anywhere near the neighborhood of greatest storytellers.

[@kidactivistt47]

Foo the Lakewood Mall is the shit, brings back Childhood Nostalgia when I used to live in Bflower 💯🌴

[@babysteprecord2168]

Good Work

[@michaelmeyers4950]

Eiht a real one. And that's all there is to it. He a REAL OG. He gets respect because he is what a rapper should be.

[@dewaynecausey7472]

This is my guy right HERE he is one of my favorite classic rappers of all time his style is so different from the other rappers his beats are mellow and smooth with Jazz instrumental backgrounds his gangsta rap music was for the real N that was hood and that had the ear listeners for SMOOTH GANGSTA MUSIC.... In other words you have to be a laid back G with class 😎🖖🏾

[@miguelpatrick6192]

EIHT Is My Boy! He came with those stories in His lyrics and I was captured by that Storytelling because I'm a Writer and that resonated with Me. EIHT is in My list of Top 5 Rappers/Lyricist. I would straight respect the opportunity to have conversation with My Boy, maybe hit the mic and drop some lyrics with Him. '... Compton's Most Wanted Gonna' Roll Deep...'

[@atlcameraman]

One time for Golden Bird....And dat background music bumpin'

[@DrDeese]

Ima bout to bump his music the whole rest of the day 🔥

[@comptonsmostwantedrapgroup9151]

Correction, we did 2 shows off "It's A Compton Thang" 1st was a new strip mall on Florence near Centinela in Inglewood with Jolly Joe & Masta Ric Roc and the 2nd was The Anaheim Convention Center when Ice Cube got beat up by Above The Law.

[@Natalac74]

Chuuuch family, I'm the same way. Only I still stay in my Hood Sherwood 💯 in Duval County, aka Jacksonville florida

[@michael1of2]

Damn right he’s a legend. St Louis always banged his music. Music to driveby and we come strapped. I can’t say no more lol. Dude should have made so much loot in the game. His story telling was unmatched at that time.

[@gregvasser6944]

Third cassette I bought in life, also wrecked a car while banging it, put it on pause about 5-6 months

They made two cds together

Im a younger guy but i strted checking out 8 music n i can tell he wouldve been one of my fav rappers from back then. Brah sound is too hard

[@pursaallee8475]

We come strapped and death threats it's more but Dem my favorite MC Eiht

[@dewaynecausey7472]

My number 1# favorite MC EIGHT song of all times with that smooth jazz background instrumental is.........,,, 👉She's a B,,,ch )))))) 👍👍👍

[@ceojones7835]

Eiht, you don’t have to live basic to appease poor ppl around you. If you want a Rolex and can afford it, get it. If you can afford it but ain’t into fancy shyt, don’t get it. But whatever you do, don’t make decisions based on what other ppl might say or think either way because ppl gonna hate you for whatever you do. If you getting millions and coming around poor ppl while wearing the same $30 hoodie they wearing, they gonna resent you. If you a millionaire and wearing a $10k suit around them, they gonna resent you for that too. You thinking they will accept and respect you because you shop at the swap meet like them, that’s not true. The key difference is “they don’t have a choice, but you do”

[@khsballa3]

well said

[@josephpayne4591]

You have to be careful especially if you still hanging around people that you know they're the ones that will set you up and rob you

Should've came to the wax .. could've done it much betta , I love the realness of this man!!

[@aly-xyz]

8 is da man😎 his voice sounded like 2pac back in the days

[@Ruby_Sterling]

When I got some money, I didn’t look back. I was raised in poverty. It makes no sense to still act broke.

[@cipriandobrea7369]

What is acting broke?

[@snilo]

I grew in the hood Soweto South Africa and I relate to most of the ish Mc Eiht rapped about and fucks with him to the fullest. It makes sense to me why he is the way he is when it comes to spending his money, and the image he portrays as a regular hood nigga with less emphasis on bling and expensive labels. 8 is the og to salute man🤞🏽

[@Angel-t9y4v]

No joke, you a favorite in my books. My best rap of yours is Don't _uck wit Eight!!! Plus Album favorite is nigga DAT kill "we come strapped" Much respect n still play this anywhere.
