The Tragic Story of Eazy-E

Eazy-E and Suge Knight went head-to-head in a fierce battle for label dominance, in the early 90s. As Suge was launching Death Row Records, he attempted to cripple Eazy E's Ruthless Records by luring away Dr. Dre. Eazy-E's death remains one of the most shocking moments in hip-hop history. It happened so suddenly that even those closest to him barely had time to grasp what was happening. Since his passing, numerous conspiracy theories have emerged, with some suggesting that he was secretly murdered.

Eazy-E grew up on the tough streets of Compton, California, during the '70s and '80s, and his rap lyrics vividly reflected those harsh realities. Eazy-E and N.W.A. exploded onto the hip-hop scene with their raw, unapologetic lyrics that boldly expressed their views. Although he’s no longer with us, his groundbreaking influence on the genre remains undeniable and will be remembered for generations to come. This is the tragic real-life story of Eazy-E.
