I just dont feel he passed from that.Ī: Are you saying its not AIDs or thats not how we should look at it? Lil Eazy E: Its a serious situation and I dont knock it at all. Thats something Im gonna issue in my album. I dont believe he died of that on that day. He was into a lot of females as we all are. Just that overall street n***a that dont know nothin thats not him. At the same time, there was a type of life he led and went through at a young age. DJ Quik too, I look forward to keeping him involved.Ī: What is a public misconception or misperception about your father? That whole Ruthless family, I want it back. People show a lot of love.Ī: I give you a lot of credit going that route. Im getting all of em together on there. Theres no reason why he shouldnt get the same respect.Ī: From any era in his life and career, do you feel the love and support from your fathers former artists and friends? Even the business he handled as an entrepreneur, Master P and other rappers took it upon themselves to do what he did and start their own business. Dre, an Ice Cube, a 50 Cent, a Game if he wouldnt have laid that foundation down. People dont look at it like hes the Godfather of Gangster Rap. I think its to the fact of how he did business with Dre, Cube, and so forth. I think its because how hardcore his music was. I think its because of the fact of the way he died. Lil Eazy E: I be askin myself the same question a lot, dog. But in your eyes, why is your fathers heritage so neglected? I think all praises are positive are very well due. At the same time, after he passed away, thats what I had to turn to: pictures and his music.Ī: Tupac and Biggie are the reigning kings of Hip-Hop praises Pun as well. Even when we went out to Disneyland and certain amusement parks, wed see the love hed get from fans when theyd run up. As a young kid, I didnt too much understand.

It depended on which female he was with whether my momma, or the next kids momma, or whoever, we were all together.Ī: Was there ever a time when your father was Eazy, or was he just Dad? When we went somewhere with him, we all went the brothers and sisters. We all got a good relationship because thats how kept it. Im picking up my little brother tomorrow. Lil Eazy E: Im with two of em right now.

Thats how I feel too, as the first real second generation rapper not to take away from Lil Romeo or anybody else.Ī: How connected are you to your half-brothers and sisters these days? I was raised by my grandparents his mother and father. A lot of Rap kids are from entirely different neighborhoods and experiences than their fathers. Now, experiencing it and going through it its the s**t.Ī: Youre from East Compton just like your father. It took me a while as a young kid to understand it.

Tell me how the feels to be a true Prince of Gangsta S**t. But your father was probably a king to many more people than mine. Its getting its play across the US too.Ī: I liked how on the song, you called yourself The prince. Many of us look at our fathers as kings. Monday, Im with Felli, and been spinnin it. Itll appear on my album, but At the time I did it to remember him.

Lil Eazy E: Thats one of my favorite songs. Everybody wear your LA Kings hats and loccs and join in us in our five part tribute to the smoothest criminal, and the first rapper entrepreneur Eazy E.Ī: On your forthcoming album, youve got a new rendition of ∾azier Said Than Done. Why that song? And see just how many similarities the two share.Įazy E will be sorely missed. See how his legacy has paved the way for his son to make tremendous impact on the scene twenty years later. Get a good look at Eazy E as a father and family man. The second generation Compton rapper discussed his fathers legacy, his future albums connection to his father, and all else in between. On the anniversary, we present our feature with Eazys son Lil Eazy E. Yesterday, we featured a rare 1989 interview with Eazy and Ice Cube. Somehow his legacy has been forever shadowed by many for reasons undeclared.Ī wanted to pay proper tribute to Comptons finest. Eazy E may not have invented Gangsta Rap, but damned if he wasnt The Godfather. Ten years ago, Hip-Hop lost one of its most influential pioneers.
