The Best
Forget just calling this one of the best gangsta rap albums of all-time.
This is one of the best hip hop albums of all-time.
MC Eiht is great and underrated tremedously.
From start to finish you get your money's worth with this one.
Recognize the real, recognize a hip-hop legend not just a west coast legend.
MC Eiht has been featured on numerous other rapper's albums and soundtracks.
Not to mention 11 albums in 12 years with more to come.
Give the man respect, where respect is due.
This album is loaded with hits and I would say this is his greatest album.
From Nigguz That Kill to Compton Cyco to Take 2 With Me to All For The Money to Nuthin' But The Gangsta to well, just about the entire album is the bomb! ( Compton Bomb )

MC Eiht is a true hip hop legend and when his career is over he should get that respect and reconition.
We Come Strapped is an album that displays MC Eiht at his best.
Definately pick this one up for your collection if you don't already have it.
This album is the best CD that MC Eiht ever made in the rap game.
I like the "Def Wish III". In it, he made some comments about DJ Quik stating that he was a "clucka"- this would lead to a rivalry in which hurt MC Eiht's rep. Anyways the bests tracks are
"All for the Money" with that unforgetable beat, "We Come Strapped", and another great track "Nothin' But the Gangsta" f/ Redman and Spice 1. This track was excellent because between 1992-1996 Redman was doing some tight work on his and other people's albums. This is a very good album to pick up, especially
if you're an MC Eiht fan, however to me, he never made good albums since the beef w/ Quik was laid to rest.

Once again mc Eiht proves the world to be one of the dopest west-coast gansta-rappers!!! Eiht tells it like it is and it is (...) up!! he continues his mission against dj Quiks "happy sounds" (stay the hell down!) with Def wish 3, which is quite a cool sequel to the two earlier def wishes (though the first part can never be improved). This album is a definite must have for every eihthype thug out there and besides that for every fan of laid back westcoast gangsta rap you can smoke a joint to!!
Spice 1 and redman be kicking it on this album too!!!
Although it may seem a bit old now this album is one of mc eiht/cmw best efforts alongside "music to driveby". The beats a strong and deep and mc eiht lays hard gangsta lyrics over them in his usual impressive fashion. This was when he was at his prime, so if you like his new albums these will impress you even more. Around this time there was contraversy about rap, and sony have put an extra sticker on the album declaring that the views expressed are only that of the artist, this is probably because of the usual (but great) gangsta lyrics, but also because of the song dissing DJ quik "def wish"3. All the tracks are great and are started by mc eihts catchphrase "jehha...we in the house!" or something similar, and suprisingly that doesnt become annoying. An all time classic. You cant even get in the UK shops.
Da dopesack
We come strapped is turly one of the hardest hitting rap ablum ever. It tells the very true stories of his and others living the hardcore life in the iner-city.(Death wish 3) is a sequal to 2 others on previous released tracks. (All for the money) Track 5 is truly one for all time it tells the life of kid coming up doing whatever it takes to get what he wants the beat is slow so its great to ride to. In a nut shell you won't be disapointed with this album. It's great if you like underground hardcore rap this is no sell out to the radio.
