Eazy-E was renown for his high pitched tones when rapping and his superb deliveries, however his technical skills in rapping were not the best.
Eazy-E was involved with the critically acclaimed N.W.A. (Niggers wid' attitude). There outgoing personalities and explicit lyrics subsequently lead to them being banned on all mainstream american radio stations. The group released there most controversial album 'Straight Outta Compton'.One of the most popular hits from the album was 'Fuck tha Police' which protested against Police Brutality and Racial Profiling, an issue with Black rap artists.The group finished in 1995 and released there final album 'Niggaz4Life'.
Sadly, Eazy-E died after finding out he had Aids. To some it wont of been surprising that he recieved the decease after always being renown for his reputation with the ladies.
However at this time Aids was considered to be a 'gay white mans decease'.Obviously not. His death horrified many of the hip-hop follows and opened peoples eyes.
