“Genocide” is the third track on Compton. It shows how brutal Compton can be, since the murder rate there is pretty high.

Featured artist Candice Pillay described what recording the song was like to MTV:

‘Genocide’ is the bomb, man. It was produced by Dem Jointz. The way that record started was Marsha Ambrosius — who’s an amazing writer — came up with the hook. There was that little section on there that had the rap-sing part, which is my verse.

Jointz played me that record. I was like, ‘Damn, that sh-t is crazy.’ I was like, ‘What are y’all doing with that verse?’ They were looking for someone to sing kind of like a reggae rap. I was like, ‘Let me at it. That’s my shit. I could do that.’

I think this annotation should be improved, this sentence especially:

It shows how brutal Compton can be, since the murder rate there is pretty high.
