Compton's Most Wanted- "This is Compton" -1987 eiht with jeri curls

cmw one of my favorite groups..good post

Whos that white dude, I seen him on the cover of its a compton thing back in the days.

Thats Dj Unknown one of the members of CMW back then...yeah thats an old video but classic CMW

^oh ok thanks for refreshing my memory. He had a lil curl goin on as well.

LOL, that's not DJ Unknown.

The Unknown DJ aka Andre Manuel is a west coast legend/pioneer who's been in the game about as long as Ice T. He made some dope electro records prior to the emergence of non-electro west coast hip-hop (NWA, Kid Frost, King Tee etc.) He's also black. Ice T name drops him on the original 6 In The Morning single.

The whiteboy is DJ Ant, CMW's original DJ. When Mike T joined the group, Eiht said they had planned to roll with two DJ's but Ant left the group because he was way off into some bangin' shit. Funny that the whiteboy was the legit banger of the crew.

If I'm not mistaken, the other black dude (who's not Eiht or Chill) isn't Unknown either, it's DJ Slip. Not sure though, can't get a good look at him in the video.


STRATEGY

that is unknown...

Right on! Thanks for refreshing my memory on CMW. It's been buggin' me since dude asked who the white cat was. I couldn't remember either and was a huge CMW back in those days. All I remember was "Late Night Hype" was smooth and "It's a Compton Thang" had a tight ass beat! I know DJ Mike T was the designated scratcher for that particular album.

You read to much Wikepedia....its unknown...My homie did alot a shit with eiht and still fucks with chill to this day, and Slip lives across the street from my homie in Long Beach.

i thought it was dj mike T

Settle down little fella, it's ok to be wrong.

Why so defensive?

I don't need no Wiki for this, I was bumpin' the Unknown DJ back before you were in diapers. HE'S NOT WHITE. The end.

^^^this guy.. So you was listening to him when you was about 6 or 7 years old....I mean I was born in 1970...I thought he came out in the mid to late 80's....Never said he was white, but how do you know what he looks like? his "12" records aint have no cover.....anyways thats unknown on the cover ..bye bye O.G.

Anybody know where to get the clean version of Its a Compton Thang? I was in like 7th Grade when it came out and my brother used to bump that shit. The clean version had a song called "We Made It". anybody got it?

I probably have it in my collection...I'll have to go thru the trunks to see, but til then here's the song
