As gangsta as it gets, Mc Eiht's "We Come Strapped", caused much controversy when first released in 1994. Epic records took another pre- cautionary action by not only labeling the album with the commonly seen sticker, "Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics", but also by using a second sticker that reads, "The Lyrical Content Contained On This Album Solely Expresses The Views Of The Artist". What compelled Epic to take such an action was Eiht's track entitled "Take 2 With Me" with references to Los Angeles police chief Willie Williams, "Heard them whisper, 'Chief Williams, 2 officers down.'" According to inside sources at Epic records, the company felt that the R.I.A.A. parental advisory sticker did not cover some of the issues Eiht touched. To Eiht, this was a big achievement and in a way like winning an award for most controversial rapper.
