Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton
1995 posthumous studio album by Eazy-E; last major solo release reflecting mid‑1990s West Coast gangsta rap, notable producers, and diss tracks aimed at contemporaries in the rap scene.
Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton is the second full‑length studio album by American rapper and record executive Eazy-E. Issued on November 24, 1995, the record was released posthumously several months after his death and stands as his final major solo release. The album preserves the direct, confrontational lyrical style that marked Eazy‑E's work and documents the rivalries and themes common in mid‑1990s West Coast gangsta rap.

Recording sessions assembled a number of established producers and collaborators. Primary production credits include former N.W.A colleague DJ Yella, the East Coast group Naughty by Nature, Rhythm D, K Loc and Mike E. Clark. The sound blends stripped‑down beats, prominent drum programming and sampling techniques typical of the period, supporting Eazy‑E's spoken delivery and punchy choruses.
Content and notable tracks
Several tracks continue Eazy‑E's practice of issuing direct challenges to rivals. The song "Ole School Shit" is widely recognized as a diss track aimed at groups and individuals active on the West Coast scene, including members of Tha Dogg Pound, producer and former collaborator Dr. Dre and rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg. Another track, "Wut Would You Do," also targets contemporary rivals and figures associated with industry disputes, such as Suge Knight. Lyrics on the record reflect ongoing tensions from the aftermath of N.W.A and shifts within West Coast hip‑hop.
Release and reception
Released about eight months after Eazy‑E's death, the album was presented both as a commercial release and a historical document. Contemporary responses varied: some reviewers and listeners noted its historical importance and the raw nature of the performances, while others considered it consistent with rather than a departure from Eazy‑E's established style. The record has been discussed in the context of mid‑1990s rap feuds and as part of Eazy‑E's wider discography.
