"Real Muthaphuckkin G's" (alternatively "Real Compton City G's") is a 1993 song by West Coast rapper Eazy-E from his album It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa. It is a "diss song" to former band mate Dr. Dre and his new protégé Snoop Doggy Dogg.
It was a response to Dre's "Fuck Wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')" which was a diss to Eazy-E. Eazy-E explained that Dr. Dre was nothing more than a wannabe gangsta (studio gangsta) and was not an "OG" (Original Gangsta) which Dre claimed to be, Eazy also said that he was still getting paid from Dr. Dre's product, claiming that Dre's contract with Ruthless Records was still making him money. This is mentioned when Dresta states that "They tried to fade you on Dre Day" to which Eazy responds "But Dre Day only meant Eazy's payday". The second verse is from Dresta, where he claims that Dre "Ain't broke a law in his life, but yet every time he rap he yap about the guns and knives". On the third verse B.G. Knocc Out says that Dre is what he calls a "wannabe" and "ain't shit compared to real motherfuckin' G's."
The song samples the line "stop him in his tracks, show him that I am ruthless" from The D.O.C.'s 1989 track "It's Funky Enough". In the chorus part of the song, Eazy says, "Yo Dre," from his song Eazy-Duz-It. When Dre responds, "Sup," Eazy replies, "Should have known by now, Eazy-Duz-It."
[edit] Music video
The video for "Real Compton City G's" was shot in Compton, California and starts with a scene picturing lowriders and then Eazy-E comes to rap his verse, when he says "all of the sudden Dr. Dre is the G thang but on his old album-covers he was a she-thang", a picture of Dr. Dre from the World Class Wreckin' Cru days shows up on the screen where he is wearing mascara and lipstick. He continues to show pictures from the insert of the album and the rest of the video mostly consists of Eazy, Knocc Out and Dresta standing in front of a lowrider talking about how Dre is not from Compton. Also, the music video has cameo appearances from Rhythum D, DJ Yella, Cold 187um, Dirty Red, Krazy Dee, Steffon, H.W.A., MC Ren, DJ Slip from Compton's Most Wanted, Young Hoggs, Blood of Abraham and Tony-A.
The video also contains scenes of an Eazy-E look-alike (known as "Sleazy-E") who previously appeared in the "Dre Day" music video, being assaulted and shot by the real Eazy-E, Knocc Out and Dresta, being chased by a dog and finally chased by Eazy-E and a mob of people until he falls dead after passing a traffic sign reading "Leaving Compton."
