One of the most well-known members of the rap group N.W.A. (Niggaz With Attitude) from Compton, California. N.W.A. is know most for their breakthrough album in gangsta rap, Straight Outta Compton. Eazy-E was most likely the fan favorite member of the group during N.W.A.'s hayday. Even after his death in 1995 (from AIDS), Eazy-E's legacy lived on through Bone Thugz N Harmony, a rap group from Cleveland, founded by Eazy-E. The Bone Thugz are known for their light, quick rapping style, shown in such songs as The Thuggish Ruggish Bone, and Crossroads. Eazy-E's name is mentioned in several Bone Thugz songs, making it impossible for his contributions to gangsta rap to be forgotten.

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.

An underrated gangsta rapper who started NWA and Bone Thugs n Harmony. To those who think he was Dr Dre's b*tch, I don't know but Dr Dre wouldn't have been doing hip hop w/o Eazy. Born Eric Wright, met with DOC, Arabian Prince, and Ice Cube and convinced them to make a rap group after recruiting Dr Dre and DJ Yella from the R & B group, "World Class Wrecking Crew" and created the greatest group EVER, NWA. After "NWA and the Posse" Arabian Prince and DOC left but still ghost wrote for the group. Than MC Ren joined the group. Ice Cube realized that he and the manager were getting paid better so he left, the remaining dissed him which Cube than retaliated w/ No Vaseline. Dr Dre left and Eazy made It's On(Dr Dre)187um Killa, an EP dissing Dre. Mentored Bone Thugs and others until his death by AIDS in 1996 (?)
In my oppinion the greatest MC ever.

guy: did you see Eazy E's "Real Compton City G's" video?
Guy 2: It's Real Muthaphuckin' G's and yes, Dr Dre looks like a phuckin' anorexic, plus it was tight when he pulled out the Smith & Wesson.
