Background[edit]

Music to Driveby is considered one of the great gangsta rap albums from the golden age of hip hop. Similar to N.W.A.'s Straight Outta Compton, Music to Driveby includes similar themes centered around nihilism, 'hood life and participation in gangs. It is notable for the single 'Hood Took Me Under', which was later included in 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' radio station Radio Los Santos, and has been considered a classic example of gangsta rap by reviewers. The album contains a diss song aimed at the Bronx rapper Tim Dog, 'Who's Fucking Who?', as well as numerous shots thrown at Bloods rapper DJ Quik throughout the album.
