He talking about the actual city breh
And every ghetto in America was horrible during the 80s
The thing about Compton was it had a super high ass murder rate before cities had super high ass murder rates.
Other cities eventually got just as bad, or even worst, but compton was one of the only cities in the late 80s to have that crazy high ass murder rate, that became common after the 90s.
Of course im born in 94 but i study this and got stats to bacc it up

Compton is a small city with about the same number of blood and crip hoods and on top of that they're right next to each other
Its funny cuz i asked a similar question to myself a few days ago.
How did LA get this super hard reputation in the 80s and was it warranted or was it just the music?
Looking bacc at numbers, it was warranted. only a few select cities had those super high murder rates in the early n mid 80s and LA was one of them.
Ironically, Dallas/ and Ft Worth were actually the most dangerous major cities in the 80s, if u go by homicide rate. I think Detroit is second

It wasn't just compton. LA as a whole was crazy, it was just compton that got the spot light.

Wtf was people doing in the 90s
Bad list, u gotta compare city sizes the same size.
Compton was the only city of its size to have a murder rate of over 85 per 100k in the 80s.
Alotta ppl dont know Ft Worth, Texas in the 80s was getting more murders than Washington DC and Miami, Fl.

They were at like 89?That's crazy for a city under 100k people
Yea it was higher, but im saying by the time the 90s rolled around other cities were starting to get those super high murder rates too.
in the 80s compton(and east st louis
) were the only cites that had 3rd world country murder rates
