Just months before Eazy-Duz-It hit the shelves, Straight Outta Compton debuted and hit with the power of semi-truck. He only turned to music as a viable moneymaking option after realizing that engaging in street activities was too dangerous.Įazy-E is of course best known for his role in one of the first gangsta rap groups N***as With Attitude aka N.W.A, comprised of such future superstars as Dr. Before he became a rapper, he made his money selling drugs and through other illicit means. One of Gangsta Rap’s founding fathers, he was one of the early rappers who lived what he talked about on his records. It’s a memorable start to an album that helped shape the course of hip-hop history and now celebrates its 30th anniversary.Įric “Eazy-E” Wright was a real-deal gangsta. In truth, this declaration was the perfect way to start the album: It’s a loud, brash, confrontational statement that features a few curse words and is oddly hilarious. “Now that you bought the album, what the fuck are you going to do with it, bitch?” a distorted, booming voice asks not even a minute into Eazy-Duz-It, Eazy-E’s debut album. Happy 30th Anniversary to Eazy-E’s debut studio album Eazy-Duz-It, originally released September 13, 1988.
