Eric "Eazy-E" Wright got the whole U.S.A plus the rest of the world to wake up when it
came to the blacks situration in the American comunity in the middle of the 80's. Under [
his alias, Eazy-E, he started a record comapny, -Ruthless Records-, with help of money that
he had collected as a small thief and drug-dealer, and created the gangsta-rap, 2 part of hip
hop that had millions of head lines world wide. 31 years old, he died, only 2 months after that
he fund out that he had AIDS.
He was born in Compton in a middje-class family in 1963, he lost his grip in the teenages and
became a criminal, the life as a small gangsta didn’t have the plans for the future that Eazy-E
were dreaming of, :so- -after cbiniléatéd the’ school, he started in the music buisnes.
Together with Ice-Cube, Dr.Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella, he 1986 putted together one of the
most controversial rap-group ever, N.W.A (Niggaz With Attitudes). 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-song of
hip hop. Everybody that were living in the so called “projects" suddenly had something that
was their, 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 selebrated. With
soungs like Fuck the Police and Gangsta, Gangsta made the FBI and the LAPD to shake
teeth 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 descrined
things as they were and those who thought that hip-hop had a responsibilty to take and no
encurige and glorify that violence that was about to strangle the Latin Americans and the
black people.
In the middle of that Eazy saw how his life work was falling apart. Ice-Cube left first, then to
be followed by Dr.Dre that started Deth Row Records together with Suge Knight, with
artists like Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound samong others. It was hard for Eazy-E
when Dr. Dre left Ruthless Recotds.-Dr. Dre were the inventor of the West Coast sound and
Eazy, that actually didn't do so much on the records suddenly became a second-part-figure on
the rap-stage. Plus that the old members sue each other, and if that wasn't enough, they came
out with solo albums were they didn’t back for anything just to diss eachother, Eazy-E eaven
publicat pictures of Dr. Dre in eye-liner and lipstick on his second solo album, It's on
(Dr.Dre) 187um Killa 1993. Eaven dogh it wasn't easy, Eazy-E continiude on his way,
hard-headed he stuck to his visions and his gangsta mentality. His records wasn't sellin’ as
