May both of these brothers rest in peace. It was cool to hear a brief sample of the organ from the beginning of Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” during the bridge of this one.
Or vice versa.Įazy-Duz-It – After Dre’s real life baby mama Michel’le gets disrespected by Eazy (while in Dre’s presence) for singing praises to Eazy, he drops a sick bass line that sounds like its going to be a monster track for this title song. Then it stops, goes a different direction and everything from that point on is pretty mediocre. I love the drum break during the hook it reminds me of The Neptunes’ drums on the Clipse’s “Grindin'”. Other than a few alterations to Eazy’s first verse, this plays just like the original. And The Posse (another album that I’ll have to track down eventually). This song originally appeared on the 1987 release N.W.A. This was better than the previous song but still not spectacular.īoyz-N-The Hood(Remix) – Eazy shares a few of his experiences growing up in the hood (that he more than likely made up) on this one. It turns out that Yella is pretty nice on the drums he’s no Questlove, but he’s decent. They lay a simple guitar loop over it, as Eazy and Ren (for the third consecutive song) tag team the microphone. The verses are okay, but Dre’s bare bones drum machine instrumental kind of brings this one down.Ģ Hard Mutha’s – Yella plays live drums on this one (at least the discussion in the intro leads you to believe that, as Yella insist they let him play because he used to “fuck it up” back at Compton High). It’s not often that a rapper spends the length of his verses boasting about the greatness (or in this case the gangsterness) of another rapper but that’s exactly what Ren does on this one, leaving Eazy to only recite the same 4 bars after each of Ren’s two verses. Ruthless Villain – Ren returns to help Eazy on this one, and actually does most of the heavy lifting. Is it just me or is it pretty hypocritical for a man committing armed robbery to refer to those he’s victimizing as “crazy motherfuckas”? And it sounds like Eazy may have run into Caitlyn Jenner in his second verse. Nobody Move – Dre loops up a funky Rufus Thomas guitar loop for the backdrop, as Ren assists Eazy in recalling the details of a failed bank robbery. Granted, he didn’t write the verses but he still sounds decent. Then Dre drops an instrumental built around a funky guitar loop that Eazy actually sounds decent rapping (or talking his shit) over. boast about knowing him since he was knee-high, to which Cube replies “he still is knee-high”). and Ice Cube doing their best old man impersonations, as they brag about knowing Eazy since he was a little guy (At the end of the song The D.O.C. (Prelude) Still Talkin’ – This one opens with The D.O.C. on their recent induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Dre would handle the production duties (Yella is given a production credit as well, even though Dre does the heavy lifting) and even though the liner notes don’t give them credit, it’s been well documented that Eazy’s rhymes were penned by the collective of Ice Cube, Ren and The D.O.C.Įazy-Duz-It would benefit from the momentum and buzz that Straight Out Of Compton created, eventually earning the dry jerry curled rapper a platinum plaque, selling over 2 millions copies in the states, alone.īy the way, congratulations to the N.W.A. So, since one of my many collection goals is to own the entire catalogs of the members of N.W.A., and one of my readers told me I would enjoy it (I see you DJG!), and additionally the price was right, I copped it.Įazy-Duz-It was released just over a month after the release of N.W.A.’s debut album Straight Out Of Compton.
#Eazy e eazy duz it cassette free#
If you didn’t read the review, feel free to catch it here, or let me sum it up for you in two short words: hot mess. A few weekends ago while rummaging through the used cd bins at one of the few remaining music stores in Minneapolis (what up Cheapos?!), I came across a copy of Eazy’s solo debut album Eazy-Duz-It. One of the last albums I reviewed from 1992 was Eazy E’s 5 song ep, 5150:Home 4 Tha Sick. You will live forever through your music. Before we get into this next post, I would be remiss to not shout out a fallen music icon and a product of my city, Prince Roger Nelson.
