This guy got a good head between his shoulders. His life experiences and him explaining it and not glorify it makes him a good man.

Mc Eiht is a freaking legend salute

You just a liability CJ

One of the best rappers ever, Comptons Most Wanted had classics and Eiht had so many awesome solo albums to. Not to mention him and DJ Quik going at each other gave us a bunch of classic diss records. Comptons Most Wanted - Music To Driveby and Mc Eiht - We Come Strapped, two certified classics. Thanks for this one Vlad! Always felt that MC Eiht and Spice 1 never got the credit they deserved.

Who got snaps on the petro...

shout out to mc eiht..real talk my fathers favorite song was straight up menace. everybody that knew him knew how much he loved that joint..he passed away in 2001,and as a tribute to him we played it at his viewing.of course that wasnt the only song but he often talked about having it played at his funeral when he was alive. whenever I hear that track I think of him..shit iz still dope.

That real Cali accent

"Aye homie u need some help?" his voice

Geah...

MC Eiht is a legend. my favorite track All For The Money

I'm glad Vlad shows love to the OG's Mc Eiht Aka A-Wax Geah.

don't get more West Coast then MC Eight

"Compton in the house" Thnx for putting this up. Just noticed MC Eiht is one of the only rappers that doesn't consistently say "know what I'm saying" or "know wat I mean".

The title is misleading. It gives you the impression that he means that selling crack was an alternative to becoming a doctor. He actually said selling crack wasn't his thing, and that just like everybody can't be a doctor or an athlete, he couldn't go hard selling crack.

Loved watching this all the way through... Instead of 5 minute clips spread over 8 months.. TY!!

MC Eiht and MC Ren should do an album together.

Damn its Ryder from GTA San Andreas.

Damn this dudes interesting, get your own podcast homie. Make money talking.

Thank you MC Eight for sharing your story. What you shared is exactly why I personally went through. And what you shared about how the outside world thinks you're dumb, but you see at as being engraved made me realize that, I wasn't dumb, but just inexperienced to realize that what I was doing wasn't necessary the smartest thing to do. I work in the Silicon Valley now. Next to the Google's and Apple's, and I've always felt insecure, being from the hood. I've always felt insecure because I have thoughts about my gang banging past coming to hunt me. The reason they hunt me is because I feel like I was a fake, but you describe entails exactly what I went through. What you talk about, I did. which means I wasn't a fake, and which means now I am not a fake, I'm just someone trying to make a difference in his life.

Yo Vlad...thank you for doing all these great interviews with artists I grew up listening to. You don't just highlight the young in's but show the OG's some light!

Vlad needs to ask him if he was in the We Want Eazy video by Eazy-E....there's a small clip where you can clearly see him in the crowd, nobody has asked that question before and I need to know.

music to driveby is the best album cover of all time.

mc eiht such a ruthless rugged style of rap he was cold blooded

Compton OG. Music To Drive By... Eiht Hype... Aye homie you need some help🔫

To share STORIES from back in the day can really CHANGE the POV for youngsters today, especially from a man with experience like this. keep them coming

This was probably one of the best interviews need to do more of Mc eiht

Glad they got Eiht on here

I had to stop everything I was doing immediately when I got this notification on my phone. MC Eiht? Vlad you real for this one!

These interviews with OG's are fucking great, i keep coming back to watch and listen even tho it's already 5-6 months old lol

The MC Eiht interview is my favorite so far

1st off this is a classic interview! Looooooooooong time MC Eiht fan,from Growing Up In DA Hood to We Come Strapped to the diss songs to DJ Quick to being A-Wax on Menace 2 Society. S/O to Vlad for this one! I hope more segments drop from this interview.

Finally Vladtv, you must have saw my comment about doing an interview with MC-Eiht / Kam etc from that BG Knocc Out Interview. Good interview. Thanks! More would be nice.

"Nigga, pay me. PAY ME in Bud."

MY Top 5 Mc Eiht Albums 1. We Come Strapped 2. Music To Driveby 3. Section 8 4. Last Man Standing 5. Death Threatz

Shout out to mc eiht, my coach Tyler, for the corona chargers this man help me thru a lot of stuff back in mid 2010's, the best coach i ever had and a great person overall. I've got many memories with him and still can picture the way he shouted my name Stites on the field. He in the hospital rn and i hope everyone shows him love and support

Hood Took Me Under is a classic! I also remember this dude played Ryder is San Andreas.

MC Eight has a great distinctive voice for video games and movies and of course rap music.

Don't be a MARK, cuz the brotherz might laugh ya

one of my top ten MC's...Good interview Vlad...Cant wait to see the rest of it.

vlad finally on one... all the interviews i usually want to see usually short

Legendary MC Eiht speaks his experiences as child growing up into the gang culture he was a part of then became a hardcore MC creating the group Compton's Most Wanted. i remember when his first album it's a compton thang released in 1990 came in a blue cassette tape banging the fuck out the album every where i go then straight checcn em dropped in 1991 music to driveby came out in 1992 i got every album MC Eiht released over 25 years in the game

Im loving these interviews with all the West coast legends. Keep em coming Vlad!

Damn he's articulate

hmmm, hope the Mike T , Chill, DJ Unkown and music storys will come also, lets get real, their first album was incredible, really.

man I was raised on cuhzzz music thanks for doing this interview compton&watts hub&dub crip card

i grew up on the west side of compton, well really i grew up on the east side of compton

Big up to 8iht,one of my favorite m.c's on the west coast and hip hop in general.

It was great to see Eiht interviewed, one of the most underrated mc out there. Vlad could've elaborated more on the man's career and making out the hood instead reminiscing about crack and gangs.

I haven't heard from him in a while. It's great to hear his perspective on street life considering that he made it through.

Warriors movie is a cult classic. My brother was in a cleveland ohio gang like in that movie, all the gang members wore 'members only' jackets. haha

That's dope putting some real og west coast artist on vladtv like Mc EIHT, one of my west coast favs n still making dope music with dj primo n others, dope!

vladtv kind of glorifies black on black violence. seems like he's fascinated by the whole thing.

mc eiht is a legend in 90s hip hop

MC Eiht actually seems like a nice guy

I'm getting kinda tired of hearing Vlad start the interview with "So you're from Compton..."

I am and have been a fan of MC EIGHTs music from the start of his career,but he is super lucky to be alive and doing this interview!

MC Eiht is an eloquent dude. This was a good interview series.

Tragniew Park you say huh Wanna be rippin, but now it's time to do some set trippin- Quik

One of the best interview series on DJVlad, frfr

My grandma told my dad the same thing in the title as motivation for him to do better. Crazy how things can be interpreted…

Can't get enough of MC Eiht. Best rapper of all time and just seems like a cool dude!

I'm glad we can witness a gangster rapper grow older & educate the streets!

Vlad, good looking out on these OG interviews.

Long time fan. Thank you for the insight!

My boy still got the braids

"Givin yo set a bad name wit yo misspelt name, EIHT, now should i continue ? yeah you missed out tha 'G' cos the 'G' ain't in you" TBH i listened to Eiht and CMW before Quik

straight up menace was my one of my fav songs and movie...Wax was so chill

Finally, an MC Eiht interview on VladTV. Merry Christmas, right?

Real OG MC Eiht

This right here is the definition of an OG

vlad you actually put me in a better mood by showing me this, Thanks.

I'm a 70's baby to.... but I am from the west side on the CHI so I can relate to everything he is saying & I know exactly what he means.... Seen & been through a lot!! Those REAL streets in the hood is no JOKE!!!

I love to see the older gang members wearing the opposite colors or a Crip wearing a hat with a B on it....That's maturity

"aye homie u need some help". _A wax

Eiht is that dude for real for real. Dope music. But smart dude too. To have the intelligence, the foresight, to only be slanging literally just to get by; not with the mindset/goals that most have of becoming a kingpin and a baller and blah blah blah. Smart dude.

All Time great interview from the Triple Og I hope young kids really got the message from this interview gang banging ain't a game.

1. Have you met Eazy E ... ? 2.about menace 2 society 3.did he meet pac 4.San andreas using his music 5.What he though of Straight outta compton 6.Riots 7.How he make money does he still get paid of menace 2 society 8.About snoop dogg 9.The Game Westcoast New Generation . Vlad if you read this...i hope you gone one of these ...

Gang life was very serious in the 80's & 90's.

Today was a good day for vlad interviews!💯

This is the exactly why I say imagery is powerful because would never had guessed that MC Eiht had a somewhat of a stable home background the way he described it even though he father did end up leaving. His reputation from the music and the movie "Menace 2 Society" alone gives anyone the perception that he had to be one of the gangster dudes ever.

So basically... a lot of Menace 2 Society's story line is loosely based around MC Eihts life

Most underated rapper ever smh

yo vlad big ups to you from austria! keep on coming wit dat good iviews!

underrated west coast MC!! Still making underground music! "GEH!!"

i'm disappointed... 26 minutes long, and he didn't say "g'yeah" once

Great interview

my dad worked at GM too Eiht...Detroit though ...moms was an accountant..1985 1986 we started seeing my buddies on new mopeds and rx7s hittin the streets of detroit

Hip-Hop Legend.....I still bump eiht's records

MC Eiht? (Sheds proud tear)

Vlad better have asked him about his beef with Quik and about the first time he heard Dollaz and Sence

Gotta say, I really loved his late 90s albums, like Death Threatz and Last Man Standing. Also the shit he did with DJ Muggs was crazy.

Bout time VLAD...thumbs up for this one

One of THE BEST interviews I've seen since I've unsubscribed.

great interview

Great interview with another memorable west coast artist Vlad.

Vlad with the hook up with this interview of Eight, Xmas time like our pops coming around that one time a year 👌

At least MC 8 was honest in this interview

MC Eiht and D.O.C - vlad stepping up his game

This is the most in depth interview I ever heard from MC Eiht. I wish the interviewer would have asked him about his current feelings about DJ Quik and his history w/ the late Eazy E.

Best VladTV Interview ever...
