Back in February, MC Eiht announced he would be joining fellow CMW member Tha Chill as part of a super-group named 1st Generation. Nearly two months later, the collective—also comprised of Kurupt, Sir Jinx, King Tee, Jayo Felony, Gangsta—has released their first video, “Killen Me Softly.” Few emcees can say, “We either made it crack or grew up on N.W.A.,” as Kurupt does on the chorus, but few groups can boast founding members of Tha Dogg Pound, Likwit Crew, Compton’s Most Wanted and The Comrades.
How did they manage to fit so many different egos and musical tastes on one project?
“With music, everything else is irrelevant,” Kurupt told HipHopDX during a similar pairing with DJ Quik in 2009. “The music is what the key is, and the music is the set. So we’re all from the same set as far as this music game goes. The love you have for someone can outweigh your neighborhood politics and all the rest of that. You’re gonna see more of that, just to let you know that it’s not just us older cats doin’ it.”
Nice track, nice video. The beat is perfect for a West Coast cast of emcees like this.
Legends……….Tight
West west y’all 90’s hip hop was the golden era all these niggas had it popping back than you hate to see them getting old MC Eiht is still one of my favored King T is a legend Kurupt is DPGC enough said Jayo Felony is cold on the mic props to all these dudes

LOVING IT…WEST COAST LEGENDS STAND UP!!!. KEEP BUILDING FELLOWS, THE WEST NEEDS THIS, HIPHOP NEEDS THIS. LEGENDS
West Coast we’ve been missing you the past couple years, showing sign of life with having some OG’s on their but the production could have more of a west coast sound. I’ll welcome a G-Funk comeback, I miss that signature West Coast sound.

They should of named this group “A BUNCH OF NOBODYS”
Get fucked ignorant bitchass, these some WEST COAST OG’s rite here doin they thang

No shit. Whoever doesnt respect legends is an ignorant biiaatch! Go listen to your simple as Wacka Flicka Fizzle bullshit.
its amazing king tee still sounds dope even after all these years his rapping actually sounds even better on this track, most emcee’s from his era have fallen off now
I’m surprised Kint Tee is still here. I was sure his liver would have given out around the year 2000 or so.
Hope Sir Jinx still can handle tight production like he did for cube and KGR.
WEST, WEST ya’ll…..that’s what’s up cuzz.
this gonna be some wack ass shit. nobody is waiting for them. they had there best time behind them. Nobody wanna hear some 45 years old rappers talking about how gangsta they were back in the days. and since when are kurupt and jayo felony the 1st generation. all those old rappers sticking together because they can’t make a decent solo album.
the westcoast needs some new blood.!!!!
