The third and commercially most successful album by Los Angeles rappers
Compton's Most Wanted contained such terse narratives as "Dead Men Tell No Lies" and "Hit the Floor." If there hadn't been such an abundance of similar material in the early '90s, these tales might have triggered intense scrutiny and analysis. Instead, the most common response is that

Spice 1,
Ice Cube,
Nas, or many others telling identical stories. ~ Ron Wynn
