"100 Miles and Runnin"' was a single by N.W.A from their 1990 EP of the same name. The song also appeared on the N.W.A's Greatest Hits and The Best of N.W.A. - The Strength of Street Knowledge compilation. This song is where the feud between N.W.A and former member, Ice Cube, begins. On Dr. Dre's second verse in this song he raps the following line::"So now there's four 'cause the fifth couldn't make it."The line is a reference to Ice Cube and that he left the group so they were four members. In November 1990 a music video directed by Eric Meza was aired and released. [ [http://www.mvdbase.com/video.php?id=20731 Hundred miles and runnin'.] MVDBase. Accessed January 2 2008.] In the video the intro begins with N.W.A members being arrested by the police and exactly when the song begins they flee and appear on several scenes including, jumping onto roof of a car, fleeing to back of a van and others. In the end someone wears a baseball cap similar to the one's N.W.A members wear, so the police gets into the house and grab the cap, so they understand that it's someone else dressed similarly to the N.W.A members. Also in the middle of the video a car is seen exploding while the N.W.A members run. "100 Miles and Runnin"' also charted at #54 at U.S. Hot R&B.
