"Streiht Up Menace" is a song and the debut solo single by American rapper MC Eiht. It was released on May 31, 1993 through Jive Records as the second single off the soundtrack of 1993 film Menace II Society. Written and produced by Eiht himself together with fellow Compton's Most Wanted groupmate DJ Slip, it peaked at number 72 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 46 on the Hot R&B Singles. A remix to the song was also heard in the film, but was not included in the soundtrack album.
The track was later released on the 2001 Compton's Most Wanted compilation album When We Wuz Bangin' 1989–1999: The Hitz and on the 2010 MC Eiht compilation album The Best Of MC Eiht. The song is featured in the in-game radio station West Coast Classics in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V.
