Here is a great hit called "Real Muthaphuckkin G's" (alternatively "Real Compton City G's"). This song was written in 1993 as a response to Dr. Dre's, "Dre Day". Prior to the release of this song, Dr. Dre and Eazy-E were friends and were members of the rap group N.W.A.
What is most significant about this song is that there are actually gangstas rapping. On verse two, Dresta raps. Dresta's brother, B.G Knocc Out, raps on verse three.
We learn by listening to this song that because Dr. Dre was under contract of Eazy-E, that as he was rapping and dissing Eazy-E, he was actually contributing to Eazy's income. This song was Eazy-E's biggest hit, it went 5X platinum, more than 5 million singles sold.
