Whenever he is ready Lucifer comes to collect. What does a man profit to gain the world but lose his everlasting soul. That's just the price of fortune and fame
He was actually what he said he was Ice Cube and Dr Dre created their identity. They weren't gangsters they just played them because thats where the money was. Studio gansters the pair off them.
It boils my spirit that only Yella and Jerry went to his funeral. After everything Eazy E did for them, they couldn’t even show up to his funeral. Why have enemies when you have “friends” like that SMH. Solid work July.
Can't believe Cube & Dre didn't attend his funeral. Should've put all that $h1t behind and pay their respect to Eazy for all he did 4 them. He sure contributed to their successes by creating NWA and putting NWA on the map.
Dre, cube or ren wasn't beefing at that point but some people don't like funerals. The last time dre and cube saw eazy he couldn't talk. Some people remember memories better when they don't see their loved ones as convalescents or comatosed
Yella being the only one that went to his funeral makes that "we were talkin about getting the group back together" narrative in the movie and that dre and cube said in press interviews for the movie look real weird.
It was no way they was going to get back together from my point of view because Jerry Heller wasn’t leaving no time soon. That movie tried to make Eazy look bad for some reason.
@@LuxuryIntent dre and cube had control on what was finalized from the script/story. They knew what they were doing making eazy look like that in the movie.
Eric fired Jerry, fact!!! So, a reunion could have been seriously in the works!!! Also, Ice Cube said the only reason he didn't go to the funeral is because he couldn't take it, just like going to the hospital, he didn't want to see him like that in a coma!!!!
He pulled out a rocket launcher at a house party 1 time cause Bone Thugs were there chillin n got into a fight,they called Eazy to come get em n when he pulled up they hopped in but he hopped out,opened the trunk n pulled it out. They all had to hop out n grab it off him cause he was full gonna jus shoot at the party. Krayzie Bone n Bizzy Bone n Bone Thugs got alotta cool stories about Eazy.
The potential you have is sky high, storytelling and narration is on point. Eazy E one of my favorite artist and let me say you did him justice with this documentary. New subscriber, keep up the good work.
The D.O.C was the west coast Nas it’s sad he didn’t get to reach his full potential. Appreciate the videos July I consider myself a “hip hop historian” 😂 and you be on point with everything you be saying. You do your proper research, I want to see you win brodie.

I love it when they say they dropped out of school because it wasn’t in their future and this and that like it was a weighed decision. He dropped out cause it was too much work and he didn’t want to go anymore. That’s it. All good. Rest In Peace to the late great easy.
I like how they got eazy, cube n dre the 3 who would go on the become solo stars on they own then they got Ren yella n prince who didn't do as well on the left Ren has a platinum album n a platinum ep under ruthless tho but that's a failure for nwa standard cause those guys all goes Atleast double platinum if Ren had Dre produce his first solo he would have been as big as cube cause he was just as talented as cube.
@@LuxuryIntent I always dreamed of a amerikkkaz most wanted version of cube n a niggaz4life Ren together on that niggaz4life album n think of the greatness us fans was robbed of due to heller greed n Suge knight greed cause those 2 are responsible for breaking nwa up in the first place idc what nobody says cause if it wasn't for Suge getting in the doc n the Dr ear they wouldn't have never left n I believed Dre n eazy plus cube would have worked it out as far as money cause later artist like kid frost n brown side bone thugs bg knockout n dresta says eazy treated them good .

🫡Much respect to The late great Easy E. …..But any oldschool rap enthusiast would agree to disagree on that title and who it pertains to. Many would say that; Schoolly D. was the Godfather and Creator of Gangster Rap some also argue Cool C., others would say Ice T. either way….

So the movie wasn’t that accurate if they met at a hotel but in the movie they showed up in the studio. Great video though. I didn’t know Eazy dropped out of school.
Great documentary, excellent narration. I find it funny how the movie states Eazy was broke. 50 mil is not broke. I can't help but imagine the biggest rappers of 1995 income? I'm willing to bet non of them had 50 million dollars in their bank accounts, maybe MC Hammer which had the best record deal in rap history. He had no lyrical respect but the man was a true businessman. I'm still willing to bet anyone Eric was THEE wealthiest hip hop dude of that era. Even Russell Simmons was near bankrupt back then. I'm waiting on the JayZ Tupac B.I.G Puffy Eminem fans to flood the thread with foolish comments. JAY didn't have an album out, Eminem was still In the trailer park throwing up his mom's spaghetti, Puff was working as an intern at Uptown. So bring it🤌🏼 Eric more than likely were the wealthiest hip hop dude in the game upon his death, that being said the movie was a put together disaster. Poorly written and nothing more than a fast money grab.
Appreciate that, and yeah that movie had some things wrong I understand they couldn’t put every detail in it but let’s be serious Eazy was far from broke. Owned his own label with numerous successful artist.
Dre and Easy didn’t know each other although they lived in the same neighborhood. Easy saw his name on some mix tapes and heard his music and set out to find him. They met but Dre kinds blew him off but Dre got locked up and he called Easy to get him out. He bailed him out and said now you gotta go something for him. And the rest was history.
❤r.i.p Eazy we love you always have always will im proud as a white Scottish woman 2 wear my eazy e t shirt & my compton hat i will forever love you & if u were here eric u would most for sure b the GODFATHER OF RAP!!!!!!! 🎉🎉❤
Self explanatory. Why should he? Who knew about him. Did you hear AP on Str8 Out Of CPT? There were NO reason to include AP, waste of film thus waste of money. I'm sure they wanted to, producers and directors, editors didn't see the need to include.
I keep telling everyone that cube is dres first artist he bought to the game while eazy bought Ren eazy n Dre never been lyrical so they each bought they right hands who writes n raps better than everyone a prime straight outta Compton cube n a niggaz4life Ren is goats to me doc is dres second artist then came snoop them Eminem n Kendrick that man is the goat at making stars without radio play goes muthi Platinum.
World Class Recken Crue? Lol 🤣 Compared to what the legend Eric Wright started like Ruthless records, try again!!! Eazy financed everything and made their asses!!!! Rip 🙏 Eric Wright
Niggaz 4 Life mediocre? 😂 The album was arguably better than straight outta Compton and it went #1 on the Billboard's top 200 charts but you failed to mention that. SMH
My whole life ive always idolized eazy e. Everybody always made him look selfish and I was biased because I liked him most out of NWA and old school rappers but as time goes on it just proves all along my judgment on him was right. He was real asl. They all got greedy and shitted on him and made him out to be the bad guy. Respect to ice cube and dre for being some of the founding fathers of this shit but only as far as that goes. Sounds like they were all just cry babies and became greedy. They hated the fact eazy was the one who had the stardom but he deserved it because of all the work/money he put into it. Fuck all them lmfao then they made that straight outta compton movie and lowkey tried to shit on eazy making him look weak and selfish when in reality none of this shit would even exist without him. Ice cube got the flow, voice, mental when it comes to music but without eazy being the business man behind it all and making shit happen none of that even matters. Idk maybe im still biased but this is my perspective on the entire thing.
That's why I didn't fully agree with the movie because they made it seem like Eazy didn't bring out anything after made Dre the chronic and Eazy didn't respond
Agree! I said the same thing, I definitely think that’s what really broke up the group because everybody were claiming they weren’t getting this or getting that. It’s definitely more to it than what cube and dre is saying on these podcasts because let’s be real, and I am not saying that jerry heller wasn’t doing shady shit because I don’t know and I’m pretty young, but just think about it, if Jerry heller was fucking y’all over that bad or if he was just a bad manager simply then why the hell they ain’t sue jerry eazy or even his company??
@@LuxuryIntent Thanks bro. I wasn't knocking your video at all. It's good. And he is father of commercial gangsta rap. Ijs that IceT and Scholly were doing it way before. And to a lesser extent same with Quik but he wasn't known outside LA yet so I don't dont see count him.

Eazy was a drug runner for his cousin who got killed. He found the cocaine then cooked up as crack begin selling. Eazy close friend Big Man said this and Eazy himself
Sigh….let’s clear up some misconceptions shall we? Myth #1: Eazy E and Jerry Heller Stole Money from Artists Contrary to popular belief, Jerry Heller held an established reputation as a music manager, boasting a résumé of industry heavyweights including Marvin Gaye, Ike & Tina Turner, Otis Redding, Black Sabbeth and Van Morrison during the 60s and 70s. Dr. Dre was the first future N.W.A member that Heller came to know, as he managed him during his stint in “The World Class Wreckin’ Crew.” The hands of fate intervened, blending every ingredient to yield a cultural revolution on March 3rd 1987, the day Heller met Eazy E and Ruthless Records was born during their meeting at Macola Records in which the hit song “Boyz N the Hood” reached the seasoned manager’s ears for the first time, reinvigorating his passion for the music business. Apparently fate has a sense of humor as well. Who would have thought that a newly divorced, crass aging man from Clevland and a short, stalky Compton native with a mean left hook and sharp business acumen could get along so well? The future Ruthless Empire had a diamond in the ruff on its hands, but still required financial backing. Some sources say Eazy contributed $7,000 of his money, made from drug dealing and Heller footed $250,000 of the cost, making up the defecit. Originally, Eazy wanted to co-own Ruthless with Jerry 50/50, however, Heller insisted that Eazy be the sole owner, taking 80% while Heller profited from a 20% stake in the company’s earnings. Jerry and Eazy became close, forming a paternal bond were they challenged and taught each other, professionally and personally. They also spent time together on vacations, shared family events, milestones and recreational activities. Jerry was the mentor Eazy needed while Eazy was the son Jerry always wanted. However, their relationship later began to rub people the wrong way. “Ruthless was Eazy-E’s company. So not only did we live next to each other and have keys to each other’s houses, we always discussed every major decision.” ~Jerry Heller Ice Cube and Dr. Dre exited N.W.A following suspicions of financial impropriety. Ice Cube proclaimed that he wasn’t paid royalties or for going on tour, portaying himself as the groups main writer and mastermind behind Eazy- Duz-It. Cube also alleged that a $75,000 check was being withheld from him by Jerry Heller, who demanded that he sign his contract first. “Eazy took advantage of me not knowing the record business back in the day,” Dre chimed in, also expressing distain for Heller, painting him as a serpent who maneuvered his way into a position of power and isolated Eazy from his friends. Heller and Eazy recounted a more nuanced version of events. Heller noted that Cube’s writing responsibilities and credits were shared with MC Ren, D.O.C, and at the groups’ earliest stage, Arabian Prince, while Dre and DJ Yella co-produced as a team, thus, the royalties had to be divided multiple ways. “The deal was structured so that Ruthless got a little off the top, and the band split the rest equally. So they split $375,000 five ways, which is $75,000 apiece. That was an astronomical amount of money, and everybody signed their contracts except for Ice Cube. He had a good lawyer, Lee Young, Jr., who used to be the head of business affairs at Motown and a guy that I have done business with over the years and his parents were well educated. Ruthless also had lawyers that looked over everything” Cube received $32,700 in royalties in addition to the $75,000 he wanted, totaling an initial $107,700 in cash. In the years since, all group members have accrued millions in royalties from album sales, preformances and re-releases. Heller explained that delays between album sales and artist payouts are common. David Kronemyer, a longtime record company executive who worked with Ruthless, seconded this assertion. “It takes a long time and most artists never recoup. Ice Cube did, in fact, recoup in this situation, it just took a long time.” To insure that his finances were secure, Ice Cube also enlisted various law firms to inspect the books at Ruthless Records, yet nothing suspect ever appeared in their findings. Conversley, Dre signed his contract (apparently without reading it by his own admission) and later became a disgruntled employee, lamenting the fact that he was supposedly only making 0.02 to 0.10 cents per unit sold. Eazy took the opportunity to set the record straight concerning his business dealings and thirteen year friendship with Dre, who’s departure and subsequent Judas Kiss hit closer to home. “I was too nice to everybody, I overpaid everybody. I gave people money that they weren’t even owed. I made them happy. I might say okay Dre, here goes $75,000.” He’d say “For what?” and I’d say “Just for being here, cause you're down and you're my buddy.” “I moved him from Compton and bought a house in Westlake Village. When I moved Dre moved. Dre got a house around the corner from me. I got him a house and we worked everything out” “ If Jerry was ***** me out of money do you think he’d still be here?” Eazy said bluntly in an interview by Sheena Lester. “Why aren’t they suing Jerry if he did all this ****?” “I treated everybody one-hundred-precent fair and square. I’ll put their ***** contracts in your magazine.” “When we had a meeting and somebody (Ice Cube) sat down and said, I never got this, I never got that. They said all this in front of lawyers. You know what I did? I pulled out all the ***** returned checks that this person signed and said here’s where all that ** came from. They said, Oh, I didn’t know I was getting all that. There’s that $75,000 I told you about in the beginning, why aren’t they suing me?” (Taken from an unknown magazine article on the Tumgir fansite) His final recorded conversation with publicist Phyllis Pollack sheds more light on the situation. “There may be those that hate you, but when you hate them you destroy yourself.” Says Eazy, when questioned about envy being the reason for the backlash against him. “What sort of misconceptions are out there as far as how you treat your artists?” Pollack inquired. “I treat my artists real good, I give them fair deals. I start them off at 12 points, with escelation at every 500,000. In the publishing a 50-50 split. Most people take 100% of the artists’ publishing. I know a lot of people who have sold 4 million records and ain’t even seen a million dollars. That ain’t no record deal. Now, I’m not trying to give out any big advances because that’s recoupable, that’s your own money. If you take a big advance you’ll have to pay that back if you don’t sell enough units.” Heller revealed that Dre made roughly $82,000 in 1992, though it is unknown how much money he obtained over his four year employment. It is likely that he was compensated well, being that his Calabasas mansion was fashioned with granite counter tops, state of the art technology and custom furniture hand-picked by the producer’s then girlfriend Michel’le. He was also known to throw lavish all-night parties and spend recklessly, particularly on luxury cars like Ferrari’s and BMWs, one of which was an exact model of Eazy E’s. Heller, in his memoir Ruthless, recalled that he tried to sweeten the deal for Dre by attempting to create a sublabel for him through Warner that, he said, would have paid Dre a $2 million advance. The deal ultimately never came to fruition as Dre infamously became estranged from Eazy by soliciting Suge Knight’s strong arming tactics to break free from his contract, transforming the Starsky and Hutch duo into Cain and Abel. These nefarious activities ultimately backfired, as he was found to be in breach of contract. Eazy gained the last laugh by making 20% of everything Dre touched as an artist and producer for six years. Excerpt: The Hip Hop World Owes Eazy an Apology (Medium Article) Eazy also bailed Dre out of jail and paid for his drunk car accidents. He was a better friend to Dre than Dre was to him.
Only when I don't like that he gave us is ice cube is ice cube is a racist at least he was I still think he is I just think he's sold out acting like he's not now cuz he does about your TV kid-friendly shit

So why wasn't Arabian Prince not in the straight out of Compton movie?
For some reason everybody try to write Arabian Prince out of NWA’s history.
@@LuxuryIntent that's very sad yes man was talented and a part of NWA history.
Self explanatory. Why should he? Who knew about him. Did you hear AP on Str8 Out Of CPT? There were NO reason to include AP, waste of film thus waste of money. I'm sure they wanted to, producers and directors, editors didn't see the need to include.
@@mustafahajj lol 🤣 harsh but ok

EFIL4ZAGGIN album mediocre at best...CAP that album was and still is FIRE to this day hands down
Far superior to Straight Outta Compton.
Bro I can't believe he said that. 😂
I think the production was great however some of them songs was just clowning around seem like
My whole life ive always idolized eazy e. Everybody always made him look selfish and I was biased because I liked him most out of NWA and old school rappers but as time goes on it just proves all along my judgment on him was right. He was real asl. They all got greedy and shitted on him and made him out to be the bad guy. Respect to ice cube and dre for being some of the founding fathers of this shit but only as far as that goes. Sounds like they were all just cry babies and became greedy. They hated the fact eazy was the one who had the stardom but he deserved it because of all the work/money he put into it. Fuck all them lmfao then they made that straight outta compton movie and lowkey tried to shit on eazy making him look weak and selfish when in reality none of this shit would even exist without him. Ice cube got the flow, voice, mental when it comes to music but without eazy being the business man behind it all and making shit happen none of that even matters. Idk maybe im still biased but this is my perspective on the entire thing.
That's why I didn't fully agree with the movie because they made it seem like Eazy didn't bring out anything after made Dre the chronic and Eazy didn't respond
Agree! I said the same thing, I definitely think that’s what really broke up the group because everybody were claiming they weren’t getting this or getting that. It’s definitely more to it than what cube and dre is saying on these podcasts because let’s be real, and I am not saying that jerry heller wasn’t doing shady shit because I don’t know and I’m pretty young, but just think about it, if Jerry heller was fucking y’all over that bad or if he was just a bad manager simply then why the hell they ain’t sue jerry eazy or even his company??
He was born in 1963. Not 1964.
No he wasn’t that’s a common misconception.
Arabian Prince wasn’t meant to be in N.W.A
Was Eazy arabic
1963***
He wasn’t born in 1963 go to 18:42 of this video and look at the Obituary. It obviously states September 7th,1964 is when he was born.
Love Eazy but he not the Godfather. It's Ice-T and Scholly D.
I respect your opinion Ali.
@@LuxuryIntent Thanks bro. I wasn't knocking your video at all. It's good. And he is father of commercial gangsta rap. Ijs that IceT and Scholly were doing it way before. And to a lesser extent same with Quik but he wasn't known outside LA yet so I don't dont see count him.
@@alifrombenhill3374 For sure once you named Scholly D I had to respect it, I don’t think people understand how dope Scholly was. King Of New York is a classic.
@@LuxuryIntent well I just subscribed bro cause how you responded to me without being sensitive and your video was good. Much success to your channel and I hope your future is solid bro.
@@LuxuryIntent actually no gangsta rap was a West Coast thing
EAZY didn't sell no drugs just weed. Yella and Jerry only ones came to his funeral. No EAZY no NWA.
Eazy was a drug runner for his cousin who got killed. He found the cocaine then cooked up as crack begin selling. Eazy close friend Big Man said this and Eazy himself
Easy E was hot trash
Lol dying for attention
Lmfao ahahahah hot trash?? LOL
@@yaryardays957 that's your mom begging for attention.
I agree. He’s swandered his friends out of money they earned and left them so poor they had to leave.
Sigh….let’s clear up some misconceptions shall we?
Myth #1: Eazy E and Jerry Heller Stole Money from Artists
Contrary to popular belief, Jerry Heller held an established reputation as a music manager, boasting a résumé of industry heavyweights including Marvin Gaye, Ike & Tina Turner, Otis Redding, Black Sabbeth and Van Morrison during the 60s and 70s. Dr. Dre was the first future N.W.A member that Heller came to know, as he managed him during his stint in “The World Class Wreckin’ Crew.”
The hands of fate intervened, blending every ingredient to yield a cultural revolution on March 3rd 1987, the day Heller met Eazy E and Ruthless Records was born during their meeting at Macola Records in which the hit song “Boyz N the Hood” reached the seasoned manager’s ears for the first time, reinvigorating his passion for the music business. Apparently fate has a sense of humor as well. Who would have thought that a newly divorced, crass aging man from Clevland and a short, stalky Compton native with a mean left hook and sharp business acumen could get along so well?
The future Ruthless Empire had a diamond in the ruff on its hands, but still required financial backing. Some sources say Eazy contributed $7,000 of his money, made from drug dealing and Heller footed $250,000 of the cost, making up the defecit.
Originally, Eazy wanted to co-own Ruthless with Jerry 50/50, however, Heller insisted that Eazy be the sole owner, taking 80% while Heller profited from a 20% stake in the company’s earnings.
Jerry and Eazy became close, forming a paternal bond were they challenged and taught each other, professionally and personally. They also spent time together on vacations, shared family events, milestones and recreational activities. Jerry was the mentor Eazy needed while Eazy was the son Jerry always wanted. However, their relationship later began to rub people the wrong way.
“Ruthless was Eazy-E’s company. So not only did we live next to each other and have keys to each other’s houses, we always discussed every major decision.” ~Jerry Heller
Ice Cube and Dr. Dre exited N.W.A following suspicions of financial impropriety.
Ice Cube proclaimed that he wasn’t paid royalties or for going on tour, portaying himself as the groups main writer and mastermind behind Eazy- Duz-It. Cube also alleged that a $75,000 check was being withheld from him by Jerry Heller, who demanded that he sign his contract first.
“Eazy took advantage of me not knowing the record business back in the day,” Dre chimed in, also expressing distain for Heller, painting him as a serpent who maneuvered his way into a position of power and isolated Eazy from his friends.
Heller and Eazy recounted a more nuanced version of events.
Heller noted that Cube’s writing responsibilities and credits were shared with MC Ren, D.O.C, and at the groups’ earliest stage, Arabian Prince, while Dre and DJ Yella co-produced as a team, thus, the royalties had to be divided multiple ways.
“The deal was structured so that Ruthless got a little off the top, and the band split the rest equally. So they split $375,000 five ways, which is $75,000 apiece. That was an astronomical amount of money, and everybody signed their contracts except for Ice Cube. He had a good lawyer, Lee Young, Jr., who used to be the head of business affairs at Motown and a guy that I have done business with over the years and his parents were well educated. Ruthless also had lawyers that looked over everything”
Cube received $32,700 in royalties in addition to the $75,000 he wanted, totaling an initial $107,700 in cash. In the years since, all group members have accrued millions in royalties from album sales, preformances and re-releases.
Heller explained that delays between album sales and artist payouts are common.
David Kronemyer, a longtime record company executive who worked with Ruthless, seconded this assertion. “It takes a long time and most artists never recoup. Ice Cube did, in fact, recoup in this situation, it just took a long time.”
To insure that his finances were secure, Ice Cube also enlisted various law firms to inspect the books at Ruthless Records, yet nothing suspect ever appeared in their findings.
Conversley, Dre signed his contract (apparently without reading it by his own admission) and later became a disgruntled employee, lamenting the fact that he was supposedly only making 0.02 to 0.10 cents per unit sold.
Eazy took the opportunity to set the record straight concerning his business dealings and thirteen year friendship with Dre, who’s departure and subsequent Judas Kiss hit closer to home.
“I was too nice to everybody, I overpaid everybody. I gave people money that they weren’t even owed. I made them happy. I might say okay Dre, here goes $75,000.” He’d say “For what?” and I’d say “Just for being here, cause you're down and you're my buddy.”
“I moved him from Compton and bought a house in Westlake Village. When I moved Dre moved. Dre got a house around the corner from me. I got him a house and we worked everything out”
“ If Jerry was ***** me out of money do you think he’d still be here?” Eazy said bluntly in an interview by Sheena Lester.
“Why aren’t they suing Jerry if he did all this ****?”
“I treated everybody one-hundred-precent fair and square. I’ll put their ***** contracts in your magazine.”
“When we had a meeting and somebody (Ice Cube) sat down and said, I never got this, I never got that. They said all this in front of lawyers. You know what I did? I pulled out all the ***** returned checks that this person signed and said here’s where all that ** came from. They said, Oh, I didn’t know I was getting all that. There’s that $75,000 I told you about in the beginning, why aren’t they suing me?” (Taken from an unknown magazine article on the Tumgir fansite)
His final recorded conversation with publicist Phyllis Pollack sheds more light on the situation.
“There may be those that hate you, but when you hate them you destroy yourself.” Says Eazy, when questioned about envy being the reason for the backlash against him.
“What sort of misconceptions are out there as far as how you treat your artists?” Pollack inquired.
“I treat my artists real good, I give them fair deals. I start them off at 12 points, with escelation at every 500,000. In the publishing a 50-50 split. Most people take 100% of the artists’ publishing. I know a lot of people who have sold 4 million records and ain’t even seen a million dollars. That ain’t no record deal. Now, I’m not trying to give out any big advances because that’s recoupable, that’s your own money. If you take a big advance you’ll have to pay that back if you don’t sell enough units.”
Heller revealed that Dre made roughly $82,000 in 1992, though it is unknown how much money he obtained over his four year employment. It is likely that he was compensated well, being that his Calabasas mansion was fashioned with granite counter tops, state of the art technology and custom furniture hand-picked by the producer’s then girlfriend Michel’le. He was also known to throw lavish all-night parties and spend recklessly, particularly on luxury cars like Ferrari’s and BMWs, one of which was an exact model of Eazy E’s.
Heller, in his memoir Ruthless, recalled that he tried to sweeten the deal for Dre by attempting to create a sublabel for him through Warner that, he said, would have paid Dre a $2 million advance. The deal ultimately never came to fruition as Dre infamously became estranged from Eazy by soliciting Suge Knight’s strong arming tactics to break free from his contract, transforming the Starsky and Hutch duo into Cain and Abel. These nefarious activities ultimately backfired, as he was found to be in breach of contract. Eazy gained the last laugh by making 20% of everything Dre touched as an artist and producer for six years.
Excerpt: The Hip Hop World Owes Eazy an Apology (Medium Article)
Eazy also bailed Dre out of jail and paid for his drunk car accidents. He was a better friend to Dre than Dre was to him.
R.i.p. to Eazy-E and yes Jerry West and yellow were his only true dudes
