Pops was from Nutty Blocc Compton Crip
Moms was from South Central, she claimed Hoover
They had the lil' nigga in 1979 at Martin Luther King hospital
And if you know anything about Killa King, you know this
Being born there is just like dying there
These lyrics from the song "Dr. Dre" by Dr. Dre and Knoc-Turn'al provide a glimpse into Dr. Dre's personal history. He was born in 1979 at Martin Luther King hospital in Compton, California, which is a notorious area known for its high levels of violence and gang activity. The song mentions his parents meeting in Compton - his father was a member of the Nutty Blocc Compton Crip gang and his mother was from South Central and claimed allegiance to the Hoover gang.
The lyrics also touch on the harsh reality of growing up in areas like Compton, where violence and death are all too common. Being born at Martin Luther King hospital is likened to dying there, highlighting the danger and precariousness of life in these neighborhoods.
