MC Eiht discussed a fateful night involving a brawl at DJ Quik's show that resulted in the death of one of MC Eiht's associates. Despite not being present himself, MC Eiht offered a detailed account of the violent incident, which escalated due to longstanding gang rivalries. Vlad noted that many hip-hop feuds carry a history of violence, referencing past incidents involving prominent artists. The conversation shifted to a specific event at the El Rey Theatre, where DJ Quik's performance was marred by a fight that quickly spiraled out of control. Mob James, who was present, described the scene as chaotic, with chairs and bottles being thrown amidst the fray. MC Eiht elaborated that the conflict was rooted in gang affiliations, highlighting the persistent tensions between Crips and Bloods. He revealed that these rivalries often transcend music, making coexistence challenging. The tragic outcome tarnished the perception of hip-hop at the time, impacting Eiht's career and efforts to gain recognition in the industry.
