He was born in Compton in a middle-class family in 1963, he became a criminal in the teenages, the life as a gangsta didn't have the plans for the future that Eazy-E were dreaming of, so after he compleated school, he started in the music industry.
He was born in Compton in a middle-class family in 1963, he became a criminal in the teenages, the life as a gangsta didn't have the plans for the future that Eazy-E were dreaming of, so after comleated the school, he started in the music buisnes.
Together with Ice-Cube, Dr.Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella, he putted together one of the most controversial rap group ever, N.W.A (Niggaz With Attitudes) in 1986. When their "Boyz n' the Hood" started to conquer the lists in USA, they putted Compton and Los Angeles on the rap-map. With fat bases and heavy funk, Boyz n' the Hood soon became the national-anthem of hip hop. Everybody that were living in the so called "projects" (the slum) suddenly had something that wertr their own, a song with lyrics that showed the hard reallity that got the "white America" to tripp.
That was just the begining. With N.W.A, Ruhtless Records got a dream start and 1989 the album Straight outta Compton, that was a real classic were out. The fans cellebrated. With soungs like Fuck the Police and Gangsta, Gangsta they made the FBI and the LAPD fear and the politicans started to show interests in hip-hop but not in a positive way. The gangsta rap also splitted into two camps betwen those who thought N.W.A just described things as they were and those who thought that hip-hop had a responsibilty to take and don't encurige and glorify that violence that was about to strangle the Latin Americans and the black people.
Just then, fate stroke with all it's power. Eazy-E's self buring lifestyle demanded it's tribute. A cold showed up to be a inflamation of the lungs, may seems like a piece of cake, but not in this case. AIDS the doctors confirmed and two months later he was dead. After 11 523 days on the earth, Eric Wright died the 26th Mars 1995, in a hospital bed, with only his family at his side.
He might be gone, but not forgotten...Rest In Peace, E!
