MC Eiht Facts
- His name is pronounced as MC eight.
- He was raised in Compton, California.
- Many of his songs have been based on his life in Compton. Eiht has stated that his stage name was partly inspired by the numeral in the moniker of rapper and music producer KRS-One. He selected Eiht for its links to the hood culture such as .38 caliber firearms.
- Eiht has believed his music must always be relatable. He has tried to tell people that life is still real, and there is a huge number of people who do not get to drive Bentleys and adorn themselves with expensive chains. There are bills and mortgages to pay and groceries to buy, and life is not a party always. Eiht has pointed out that even though he may not be broke, life has been a struggle. He has been turned off by music and emceeing where people pretend that everything is fine and life is perfect. He has noticed that social media only compounds the issue. Eiht has been cautious about showing off material things to his fans and that has regarded that to have been the main reason he has been accessible and identifiable to the everyday person.
- He has affirmed that he never wanted to star in comedy movies in order to maintain his public image.
- Eiht has been touched, and regarded people to be true fans when they have remembered It’s a Compton Thang! (1990) that was the debut studio album by his rap group Compton’s Most Wanted.
