It's very apparent to me that those who lambast Eazy-E don't have much of a grasp on Hiphop history. Some here have stated that Eazy would have been nothing without Dr. Dre, but in fact, quite the opposite is true. In 1986 before the pair met, Dre had never even dabbled in the Hiphop genre. His sole claim to fame at this time was that he had engineered the beats for the World Class Wreckin' Cru, an electro/soft R&B group.
Then Eazy-E, a former drug dealer who wanted to break into the music biz, recruited Dre (as well as the Cru's DJ Yella) for a rap collective that he was putting together. This group became known as NWA, and the rest is history. Ostensibly, Dre never would have entered the rap game OR the Hiphop producing game, had Eazy not seen the talent and potential in him. FYI: Eazy's gift for spotting emerging talent led to his discovery of such groups as Bone Thugs N Harmony, Above the Law, and the Black Eyed Peas (who were more than pop-rapping sellouts at the time).
In conclusion, I hope that those who eschew the legacy of Eazy-E will note the fact that Dr. Dre's career was the product of not only Dre's talent, but of Eazy's ability to recognize and promote that talent. Eazy was Dre's mentor, and the respect or admiration of one does not necessarily require a dismissal or feelings of animosity toward the other. The pair eventually made peace, though it certainly could have taken place under happier circumstances. The lives and music of both men will live on long after the epitaphs on their tombstones have weathered away.

"Rest in peace, Eazy E"

Get the Eazy E mug.N.E.R.D stands for No One Ever Really Dies. It's our life. N.E.R.D is just a basic belief. People's energies are made of their souls. When you die, that energy may disperse but it isn't destroyed. Energy cannot be destroyed. It can manifest in a different way but even then it's like their souls are going somewhere. If it's going to heaven or hell or even if it's going into a fog or somewhere in the atmosphere to lurk unbeknownst to itself, it's going somewhere." --- Pharrell Williams

Get the N.E.R.D mug."It was good, but it was no WALL-E."
i.e. The Dark Knight, "It was okay, but massively overrated and not nearly as good as WALL-E."

Get the Eazy-E mug.A FOIL (F-Off I'm Leaving) E-Mail is a short e-mail you send to all your co-workers to tell them you have to ditch work for the day, for reasons you are not going to disclose but are most likely related to sunny weather, holiday shopping, or a hangover.
Elements of a "FOIL E-Mail" are described below:
Hello all, (#1, greet everyone cheerfully).
I 'gotta roll. (#2, state your intentions with confidence.)
A personal emergency has occurred, important. (#3, vague excuse that sounds important.)
Joe "Tequila" <= (#4, friendly signature with nickname)
"I did not have implants, I just had a growth spurt."
"Britney Spears" (#5 - cheesy quotation under your signature to create distraction.)
