Production was handled entirely by DJ Slip and The Unknown DJ. Music video by Compton's Most Wanted performing Straight Checkn'em. C 1991 SONY BMG MUSIC Checkn 'Em CD, Album. Orpheus Records, Epic. EK 47926. This is Compton's Most Wanted's second album and goddamn is it good. Unfortantely Slip was locked up whenever this album was made so he's not on it. It doesn't matter much though because Eiht kills it. A lot of the beats are old jazz and funk beats from Mike T. The song after that, Growing Up In The Hood was used in the movie Boyz N Da Hood. Wanted mixes Barry White with hard ass lyrics. There isn't one song on this album that is worth not liste. Compton's Lynchin' Lyrics. Mike T's Funky Scratch Lyrics. Gangsta Shot Out Lyrics. About Straight Checkn Em. Straight Checkn Em Q&A. Though Comptons Most Wanted failed to achieve the notoriety of Dre, Cube, and Eazy, those with an ear for great hip-hop flocked to the group in droves. In reality, . were not opportunistic newcomers but hardened veterans of the Los Angeles hip-hop scene. Old school electro pioneer the Unknown DJ crafted the moody, breakbeat-laced G-Funk of Straight Checkn Em over which MC Eiht, who had earned his stripes as a member of WCs Maad Circle, delivered a series of brooding hood narratives worthy of Ice Cube himself.
