Music To Driveby is 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 seen as one of the great Gangsta rap albums from the golden age of hip hop.[1] Similar to N.W.A.'s Straight Outta Compton, Music To Driveby included similar themes. It is notable for the single Hood Took Me Under, which was later included in videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' radio station "Radio Los Santos", and has been considered a classic example of Gangsta Rap by reviewers.[citation needed] The album reached platinum status and contained the diss to rapper Tim Dog, "Who's Fucking Who?". The album peaked #66 at the Billboard 200 in its first week.
