Music to Driveby was the third studio album by Compton based hip hop group, Compton's Most Wanted. It was released in 1992 through Orpheus Records with production from DJ Slip and The Unknown DJ. Music to Driveby is also seen as one of the best gangsta rap albums during the golden ages of hip hop.[1] Just similar to the N.W.A.'s classic album Straight Outta Compton, this one included similar lyrics and famous song like Hood Took Me Under which was later included in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas radio station "Radio Los Santos" and has been considered a classic song of gangsta rap by professional reviewers. The album reached platinum status and contained the diss song to rapper Tim Dog, "Who's Fucking Who?" which considered a lot of samples from Tim Dog's diss song Fuck Compton to the West Coast hip hop scene. The album also peaked #66 at the Billboard 200 in it's first week.
