We Come Strapped

We Come Strapped is the debut album by the gangsta rapper MC Eiht, released July 19, 1994 on Epic Street. It was produced by MC Eiht and DJ Slip of Compton’s Most Wanted. The album features guest performances by Spice 1 and Redman. Along with singles, music videos were produced for the songs, “All for the Money” and “Geez Make the Hood Go Round”
The lyrical content of the album gained MC Eiht the “Double-Sticker” on the front cover of the LP. The sticker read “The lyrical content on this album solely expressed the views of the artist”. This is also the album where he begins to produce, hense forming “EIHTHYPE Productions” with himself, long-time beat-maker DJ Slip, with William Zimmerman, “Willie Z”, on the keyboard.
We Come Strapped has a lot of dark-beats, but all the beats on the album have a funky rhythm, especially the hit single “All For The Money” with its funky guitar riff in the back ground, as Eiht’s lyrics portray the life of a kid from the streets doing whatever he can to survive. DJ Mike-T does some scratching on the album as well, bringing back the feeling of the old CMW albums.
There are “endoludes” on this album, which are basically interludes, showing off some instrumentals that EIHTHYPE Productions have done. This album was also released at the height of Eiht’s feud with DJ Quik, and Eiht throws more than a few insults on the track “Def-Wish III”. It has been MC Eiht’s most successful album to date.
