THE MC EIHT & LONZO WILLIAMS PUBLISHING FACEOFF

[@josephcrollawelch]

Eiht so underrated and unappreciated yet he a cultural icon

[@slimtimes.l.l.c4081]

Most definitely a Wax was made just for him I think........✌️

[@lilbru]

He's someone to admire & appreciate while soaking up the knowledge & deadends to avoid. His growth is how any of us from dilapidated areas should conduct ourselves at an seasoned age

What do you expect it's not like youngsters automatically gain the knowledge of those who came before them. And it ain't like ppl trying to teach them. The only way they can get this knowledge is if they search it out & the problem is, what you don't know you don't know.

I told the homie that he has a few things working. First off he was 17 when he signed and he didn’t have a signature from his parents. You can’t sign a kid under 18 without the parents sig. and the dude Unknown was so greedy he stole the guys writers. Eiht doing well so he not tripping but I would sue his ass just on principle

Nobody knew of CMW before they got with Unknown. They brought a demo tape. Why was he supposed to get paid anything in tha beginning? It's called "getting your cherry popped" in tha industry. Knock it off. If D.O.C., Snoop, Dogg Pound, RBX & Rage didn't get paid for "The Chronic", please tell me why CMW was supposed to get paid at 17 years old holding a demo tape?

Word Up To James,Streele,Mc Eiht,and The Godfather of Hip Hop. So Rappers would get Suzuki Samurai the back in the day ride

[@deshannonjames981]

I lost a lot of respect for Eiht. Now I know why he was hating so hard when the dude from No Limit was on here. He had the nerve to sit here and laugh and joke about how when he got 2 or 3 thousand, a gold chain and was driving SOMEBODY ELSE'S Suzuki Samarai, he thought that was good back in the day. But sitting there hypnotized with hate (as Boose would say) when dude was explaining that Master P was giving dudes with no album out a $500,000 house fully paid for, a brand new car paid for, and cash when they signed with him. Talking about "it's a bad deal, what you gon do when you can't keep the house up?" LOL It hurt his feelings to hear about that when he never had it. I see Eiht differently now.

[@tkjones3167]

💯

[@mastdark81]

I didn't hear that interview that you speak of but it could be both true that he didn't get what he deserved and he also could feel that the guy from No Limit was shorted as well.

"He's still alive?" -- Mob James 😂😂😂. I felt Mob on that one. If I was Eiht, I would've had to give that nigga Unknown that Suge Knight treatment. You can tell Eiht's still hurt by this, understandably. Young artists have to be on top of their business game before you write or record a vocal. I disagree with Eiht when he says "getting fucked" is part of the game. There's too much information widely available for free for artists to still be signing these slave deals.
