Actor
Aaron Tyler (born May 22, 1970), better known by his stage name MC Eiht, is an American hip hop recording artist born in Augusta, Georgia but moved as a child to Compton, California. Many of his songs are based on his life in Compton. His stage name was partly inspired by the numeral in KRS-Ones name. He chose Eiht for its links to hood culture, including Olde English 800 (8 Ball) and .38 caliber firearms. He is the de facto leader of West Coast hip hop group Comptons Most Wanted, which also included fellow Compton-based rappers Boom Bam, Tha Chill, DJ Mike T, DJ Slip and Ant Capone. He is also known for his role in the 1993 film Menace II Society.
