Editor's note

Eazy-E, the Ruthless Records founder from Compton

The N.W.A. co-founder whose solo work drew FBI attention and defined gangsta rap's early sound.

For the raw, unfiltered Eazy-E, start with 'Boyz-N-The-Hood.' His solo track 'I'd Rather Fuck You' shows exactly why he got under people's skin.

Eazy-E didn't just rap about street life, he lived it and documented it without apology. Songs like 'Boyz-N-The-Hood' from N.W.A.'s 'Straight Outta Compton' gave a voice to neighborhoods that mainstream music ignored. The FBI actually sent him a letter calling his music a threat, which tells you how much his work shook things up.

He started Ruthless Records in 1987 and formed N.W.A. with Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. After the group's explosive impact, his solo material like 'Eazy Duz It' and 'I'd Rather Fuck You' kept pushing boundaries until his death in 1995. The posthumous album 'Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton' came out the following year.

Archive material and source history

Eazy-E was born Eric Wright in 1964 and started Ruthless Records in 1987. He became known through N.W.A., the group he formed with Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and others. Their 1988 album 'Straight Outta Compton' included 'Boyz-N-The-Hood,' which helped define what people called gangsta rap.

His solo work included songs like 'Eazy Duz It' and 'I'd Rather Fuck You.' The lyrics often dealt plainly with street life and drew criticism from groups like the Parental Music Resource Center. The FBI once sent him a letter calling his music a threat.

Eazy-E died in 1995 from AIDS-related complications. After his death, the posthumous album 'Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton' was released in 1996.
