Best Eazy-E Costume Guide

Eazy-E was the stage name of the American rapper, record producer and entrepreneur, Eric Lynn Wright (September 7, 1964 – March 26, 1995). This highly-revered “Godfather of Gangsta Rap” notoriety was one of the forerunners in extending the boundaries of both musical lyrics and visual imagery way beyond conventional limits and acceptance in mainstream popular music. Eazy-E derived his inspiration largely from musical genres like funk, contemporary hip-hop, and, surprisingly, comedians. He is also known for his close collaboration with Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. As a result, the trio formed the group N.W.A. and released the hugely controversial album, Straight Outta Compton in 1988. This album is regarded as one of the greatest albums of all-time, and undoubtedly one of the most influential in the genre, too.

About Eazy-E

Eazy-E was born and raised in Compton. In 1986, even at the age of 22, he was reputed to have earned as much as $250,000 just from dealing drugs. It was only after the tragic demise of his cousin who was killed in a gunfight that he decided to withdraw from the drug trade and make his entry into the Los Angeles hip-hop scene. Capitalizing on the new genre that was beginning to grow in popularity, Eazy-E began recording his own songs in his parents’ garage. Not long afterward, he founded his own record label, Ruthless Records, in 1986.

After a short solo stint, Eazy got together with Ice Cube and Dr. Dre to form the group N.W.A. and released their controversial, landmark album, Straight Outta Compton. This highly-acclaimed album dealt with various socio-political issues and was lauded as one of the most influential ever within its genre. Eazy-E died in 1995 of AIDS.
