As the popularity of West Coast Hip Hop began to balloon, Los Angeles-based artists like N.W.A., Ice Cube and DJ Quik began to receive a hefty amount of exposure from Hip Hop publications like The Source. However, many East Coast-based rap artists grew hostile towards the massive amount of coverage the West Coast was receiving. One such artist was Bronx-rapper, Tim Dog, whose first single “Fuck Compton” viscously berated a slew of Los Angeles-based rappers. The song, which has since become of of Hip Hop’s canonized diss-songs, sparked several retorts from L.A.-based rappers, several of which came on Quik's Way 2 Fonky, with “The Last Word” and “Way Too Fonky.” This war of words would foreshadow a nasty verbal (and later physical) back-and-forth dispute between the two coasts, peaking with deaths of several of the genre’s most gifted artists DJ Quik would continue his streak of lyrical feuding on his third album Safe & Sound (Profile-1995). However, this time, the battle was somewhat of a civil dispute, as DJ Quik grew at odds with another Compton rapper named MC Eiht. The origins of the hostility between the two is chalked up to several factors, first and perhaps foremost, the two had affiliations with rival gangs. A more direct factor is believed to be a physical altercation that broke out between the two camps at a nightclub. “Dollaz & Sense” was the first of many tracks where the two Compton-based rappers would consistently tear into each other. While this dispute has since been extinguished, MC Eiht responded to Quik’s disparaging remarks with several remarkably violent tracks such as “We Come Strapped” and “Def Wish III” from MC Eiht’s albumWe Come Strapped (Epic-1994), which, was released at the zenith of their feud. #quikisthename #justlykecompton #westcoast #realhiphop #rapfueds #compton #djquik #westcoast #eastcoast #mceiht #wecomestrapped #dollazandsense #safeandsound
