Eazy-E and the President

Exactly 30 years ago today, on March 26, 1995, rapper Eric "Eazy-E" Wright died, about a month after checking himself into Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and finding out that he was suffering from AIDS, not asthma as he had suspected. Eazy-E became a hip-hop legend after bursting out of Compton as the leader of the revolutionary group N.W.A., alongside Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, and MC Ren. The controversy stemming from N.W.A.'s gangsta rap classics such as "Fuck Tha Police," "Gangsta Gangsta," and "Straight Outta Compton" led to the FBI actually sending a letter to Ruthless Records in 1989 condemning the content of N.W.A.'s music because they felt it encouraged violence against law enforcement.

So, what's that have to do with Presidents?

After a $2,490 donation to the Republican Party, GOP heavyweights Bob Dole and Phil Gramm invited Eazy-E to the National Republican Senatorial Committee Inner Circle's "Salute to the Commander-in-Chief" luncheon on March 18, 1991 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. Senate Minority Leader Dole sent the gangsta rapper and former drug-dealer the invitation himself on February 8th, writing, "Elizabeth and I are looking forward to seeing you in Washington on March 18."

Rocking a black leather suit topped off by his trademark Los Angeles Raiders hat, Eazy-E (accompanied by his controversial manager/business partner Jerry Heller) headed to the nation's capital and enjoyed lunch with some of the Republican Party's top brass -- people like Dole, Senator Gramm of Texas, GOP celebrity supporter (and future California Governor) Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Secretary of State George Shultz, and Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton -- as well as a speech by President George H.W. Bush. While the voice behind "Boyz-N-The-Hood" didn't get a chance to actually meet President Bush, Eazy-E made it clear that he was a fan and was even disappointed that Bush didn't speak longer. Although he once famously rapped, "Don't quote me, boy, cuz I ain't said shit" in "Boyz-N-The-Hood," Eazy-E's spokesperson later said that the rapper, "Loves the President. He thinks he's a great humanitarian and that he did a great job with Desert Storm."

That might seem like something that would take away Eazy-E's street cred. Ice Cube certainly thought so, as he made clear after leaving N.W.A. with his scathing diss song, "No Vaseline", where Cube repeated "I never had dinner with the President!" and accused N.W.A. of ditching Compton ("Yellin' Compton, but you moved to Riverside!").

But maybe Eazy-E and George H.W. Bush had far more in common than most people would imagine.

See, Eazy-E and Dr. Dre aren't the only people to come "Straight Outta Compton." In 1949, George Herbert Walker Bush and his family (including another future President, George W. Bush) lived in the Santa Fe Gardens apartment complex in the heart of, yes, Compton, California. The second child of George and Barbara Bush, Robin, who tragically died of leukemia at the age of 4, was born in Compton. So, while Compton was a far different place in that era, two Presidents of the United States -- at least briefly -- represented "the CPT". And, as the photo at the end of this post demonstrates, young George W. Bush even rode around strapped -- more cowboy than gangsta, not surprisingly -- as many young people have long been in Compton and South Central Los Angeles.

OCTOBER 5TH 1995 | URBAN AID 4 LIFE Event:

When Eric Lynn Wright, known professionally as Eazy-E, passed away after being diagnosed with AIDS March of 1995, the butch/he-man world of hip-hop dismissed AIDS as an only “gay disease” and rap moguls started to consider raising money for AIDS research and education. An event called the Urban Aid 4 Lifebeat was started and filled the Madison Square Garden arena Thursday night (10/5/95) for five (5) hours of hip-hop and rhythm-and-blues.

[jewishpopculture]

On this day in 1993, Eazy-E protégés Blood of Abraham, a Jewish hip hop group, released their debut album ‘Future Profits’.

The album gained publicity from ads centered on large text proclaiming “Jesus was a Black Jew”.

Blood of Abraham was sighed to Ruthless Records, a record label founded by N.W.A. member Eric “Eazy-E” Wright. The group composed of members Benjamin “MC Benyad” Mor and David “MC Mazik” Saevitz.

They gained a minor following that eventually led them to wider exposure through a television appearance on ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ in 1994.

A key characteristic of the group was their unapologetic Jewish identity. Their best-known track, "N*ggaz and Jewz (Some Say K*kes)", was a call for Black and Jewish unity. The song featured a verse from Eazy-E, as well as the first recorded appearance of will.i.am, known at the time as Will 1X.

Will’s association with the group likely lead to him chanting the Hebrew phrases “mozel tov” and “l’chaim” throughout the Black Eyed Peas song “I Gotta Feeling”, the highest selling digital single in the United States. It also likely explains why Mor directed the video for the song.

Although Blood of Abraham has been on hiatus since 2000, the members have continued working in entertainment. Notably, Mor directed music videos for Beyoncé and Coldplay (“Hymn for the Weekend”), will.i.am (“Scream & Shout” with Britney Spears & “That Power” with Justin Bieber), Katy Perry (“Part of Me”), Tinashe (“All Hands On Deck”), Black Eyed Peas (“I Gotta Feeling”), Nas (“Just a Moment” with Quan), and the official song of the 2014 FIFA World Cup— “We Are One (Ole Ola)” by Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, and Claudia Leitte.

New Eazy-E fanfic😏!

[lboogie1906]

Eric Lynn Wright (September 7, 1964 – March 26, 1995) known as Eazy-E, was a rapper who propelled West Coast rap and gangsta rap by leading the group N.W.A and its label, Ruthless Records. He is referred to as the “Godfather of Gangsta Rap”.

After a short solo career with frequent collaborations with Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, they joined, forming N.W.A. N.W.A’s debut studio album, Straight Outta Compton, which was released in 1988. It is ranked among the greatest and most influential albums ever. The group released its third and final studio album, Niggaz4Life, in 1991.

He became embroiled in rivalries with fellow group members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, who had departed for solo careers in 1989 and 1991, respectively. Resuming his solo career, Eazy-E released two EPs. Yet he remained significant behind the scenes, signing and nationally debuting the rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. He was suddenly hospitalized and diagnosed with AIDS and died due to its complications.

He was born to Richard and Kathie Wright in Compton. His father was a postal worker and his mother was a grade school administrator. He dropped out of high school in the tenth grade but received a GED. He supported himself mainly by selling drugs and introduced his cousin to the illicit occupation.

In 1986, had allegedly earned as much as $250,000 from dealing drugs. After his cousin was shot and killed, he decided that he could make a better living in the hip-hop scene. He started recording songs during the mid-1980s in his parent’s garage, thus starting Ruthless Records.

The original idea for Ruthless Records came when he asked Heller to go into business with him. He suggested a half-ownership company, but it was decided that he would get eighty percent of the company’s income.

He had a son, Eric Darnell Wright (known as Lil Eazy-E). He had a daughter named Erin, who changed her name to Ebie.

He married Tomica Woods in 1995, 12 days before his death, and they had two children. According to Jerry Heller, he had 11 children with eight women.

According to his son Lil Eazy-E, he was worth an estimated $50 million at the time of his death. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

in the vast universe of hip-hop’s fifty-year history, certain songs stand out for their musical brilliance and place within pop culture and their profound impact on how we eulogize the lives of the loved ones we lost. among these iconic tracks include pete rock & CL smooth’s “they reminisce over you (t.r.o.y.),” geto boys “six feet deep,” puff daddy’s “i’ll be missing you,” coolio’s “gangsta’s paradise,” cuban link’s “flowers for the dead,” and bone thugs-n-harmony’s deeply moving 1996 chart-topper, “tha crossroads.”

emerging in the early 1990s, the trail-blazing cleveland, ohio group achieved multi-platinum status several times under the guidance of mentor and west coast gangsta rap pioneer eazy-e. the group’s distinctive style was an exquisite fusion of rapid-fire flows, gripping storytelling, and melodic doo-wop vocal harmonizing that set them apart from the prevailing sounds of their era. their 1995 magnum opus, “E. 1999 eternal,” cemented their standing in hip-hop, and solidified their legacy.

“E. 1999 eternal” arrived in july 1995 to critical and commercial acclaim. while the lead single, “first of the month,” became the group’s first top 20 hit on billboard’s 100, it was the yet-to-be-released track, “crossroad,” an elegy for a friend lost to gun violence, that quickly generated buzz. when the song was released as the album’s third single in 1996, it had been reworked as a tribute to eazy-e and rechristened “tha crossroads.”

eric “eazy-e” wright co-founded ruthless records and the west coast hip-hop group NWA in 1987. the group’s 1988 album “straight out of compton,” which included the still relevant “fuck the police,” propelled gangsta rap to the forefront of commercial viability and is widely regarded as one of the most influential albums in hip-hop history. eazy and ruthless records continued to impact hip-hop landscape with the signing and global success of bone thugs-n-harmony.

on march 20, 1995, four months before bone’s “E 1999 eternal” was released, eazy-e stunned the hip-hop world when he announced that he was dying from AIDS complications. in a statement issued through his lawyer, eazy courageously stated, “i’ve got thousands and thousands of young fans that have to learn what’s real when it comes to AIDS. like the others before me, i would like to turn my problem into something good that will reach out to all my homeboys and their kin, because i want to save their asses before it’s too late.”” eric “eazy-e” wright died six days later on March 26 at the age of 30.

released in april 1996, a year after eazy-e’s untimely death, “tha crossroads,” debuted at #2 on billboard’s hot 100 before topping the chart for an astonishing 8 weeks. the emotional and spiritual tribute to their friend wally, uncle charles, eazy-e, and other family members, resonated with listens who themselves had experienced loss due to AIDS and gun violence. “tha crossroads” was anchored by a music video that provided a powerful visual to song’s chorus, “see you at the crossroads, so you won’t be lonely,” and offered hope, reminded that those lost to AIDS and gun violence would find solace in the afterlife.

the legacy of “tha crossroads” highlights hip-hop’s extensive history of amplifying social issues, including HIV/AIDS. in october 1995, urbanAID 4 lifebeat hosted hip-hop’s first AIDS benefit concert at new york city’s madison square garden. the now legendary roster of performers included run DMC, the notorious big, wu-tang clan, salt ‘n pepa, mary j. blige, brandy, and to name just a few. the concert also featured video testimonies from people living with HIV and a video message from bone thugs-n-harmony.

“see you at the crossroads, so you won’t lonely.”

“tha crossroads” is a heartbreaking hymn that envelopes you. it is a song about remembrance without making those lost too saintly to reach, touch, feel, and mourn. the song is about personal grief. it is about communal grief. it is testament that hip-hop has the power to inspire transformation and compassion. “tha crossroads” is a song that serves as a comfort for the grieving and dead – a reminder that a reunion will be at the crossroads.

“’cause i know ima meet you at the crossroads.”

Layzie Bone. Krayzie Bone. Bizzy Bone. Wish Bone. Flesh-N-Bone. Five friends from Cleveland, OH, bum-rushed the rap game in the mid-1990s with a distinctive singsongy flow, street tales and their own unique personas. Flesh-N-Bone's legal troubles would estrange him from the group at times, but there was no denying the talents of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. After independently releasing their debut as teenagers, the Midwestern group signed to gangsta rap godfather Eazy E's Ruthless Records in 1993. Their debut EP Creepin' On Ah Come-up made Bone Thugs-N-Harmony one of the hottest new groups in Hip-Hop.

After Eazy's death in 1995 and the release of the critically-acclaimed E. 1999 Eternal, Bone Thugs became major stars in music. One of the most popular acts of the 1990s, the Grammy-winners would go on to major success and over the next two decades, established a following as devout as any in the game. With their rapid-fire flows and DJ U-Neek's darkly melodic production, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony set a new standard for Midwest rap stardom and reinvented the art of rhyming. You can still hear their influence today. 

We ranked the 25 Dopest Bone Thugs-N-Harmony songs. 

#26

"NOTORIOUS THUGS" - THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. FEAT. BONE THUGS N HARMONY [BONUS SONG]

Our BONUS SONG pick is a celebrated classic guest spot! "Bone-and-Biggie-Biggie" is a musical marriage that may have seemed odd at the time, but it yielded one of the 90s dopest rap collabs. 

#25

"B.N.K." W/EAZY-E

R.I.P. Eric Wright. The revisited/remade version of one of Eazy-E's darkest tunes, this posthumous collab would eventually turn up on the first Bone Thugs compilation in 1998. 

#24

"HOME"

Chris Rock (who seemed to like mocking BTNH, more on that later) poked fun at this collab, but it actually works a lot better than one might expect. Bone revisits one of Phil Collins' biggest 80s hits. 

#23

"CREPT AND WE CAME"

An unofficial sequel to their 1994 track "Creepin' On A Come-Up," it's morbid and, in a strange way, kinda beautiful. DJ U-Neek is fully in his bag, as Bizzy, Wish, Layzie and Krayzie lean into the groove. .

#22

"IF I COULD TEACH THE WHOLE WORLD"

Following the massive success of "Tha Crossroads" (more on that later), Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's singsongy style became more polished and tuneful. And the best example is this melodic single from 1997s "The Art Of War."

#21

"DAYS OF OUR LIVES"

DJ U-Neek flipped two eighties classics for this one. Originally released on the soundtrack of the classic 1996 heist film "Set It Off," this Force M.D.'s-sampling (along with Herb Alpert) track became one of the group's biggest hits. 

#20

"I TRIED" FEAT. AKON

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's biggest hit of the 2000s, this heartfelt ballad was also one of the group's biggest hits as a short-lived trio following the departure of Bizzy Bone. 

#19

"BUDDAH LOVAZ"

The Isley Brothers' "Choosey Lover" is the obvious jumping off point for one of Bone's best weed anthems. It's one of the best songs on "E. 1999 Eternal."

#18

"DOWN FOE MY THANG"

An early Bone Thugs gem that serves as one of the grittiest tracks on their classic 1994 EP "Creepin' On Ah Come-Up." That squealing opening synth doesn't set you up for the gut-checking groove that drops in. 

#17

"E. 1999"

A stellar showcase for estranged group member Flesh-N-Bone, this is an all-timer. The title track from an undisputed classic, this banger is also one of the group's most polished and distinctive songs. 

#16

"NO SURRENDER"

An early example of just how unique (get it?) the production has always been on Bone Thugs projects. It's both aggressive and druggy, it's midtempo but feels hyperkinetic. Eazy and the group have the official co-credit, but this has U-Neek's trademarks all over it.

#15

"MEET ME IN THE SKY"

One of the crew's most heartfelt latter-day tunes, it's the quintet tapping into some of their "Crossroads"-esque energy and delivering a gorgeously melodic ode to forever. 

#14

"NO SHORTS, NO LOSSES"

The gurgling slow-as-molasses guitar line and that synth-driven hook let you know what time it is. It's druggy, it's infectious, it's dark--and it might be the most slept on track in their catalog. 

#13

"AIN'T NOTHING CHANGED"

One of the more underappreciated tracks in their lengthy catalog, this standout from 1997s double album "The Art Of War" wasn't a single, but maybe it should've been. 

#12

"CROSSROADS" (ORIGINAL VERSION)

The version that appeared on early pressings of "E. 1999 Eternal" sounds nothing like it's much more famous counterpart, but the mournful spirit is the connective tissue between the tracks. 

#11

"BUDSMOKERS ONLY"

Armed with an interpolation of the distinctive rhythm from Earth, Wind & Fire's "Reasons," Bone Thugs showed that they could turn a rapturous soul classic into a 90s rap weed anthem. 

#10

"LOOK INTO MY EYES"

A haunting track that originally appeared on the soundtrack to 1997s disastrous "Batman & Robin," it's one of Bone's biggest mainstream hits and a good example of how their sound and songcraft quickly evolved. 

#9

"MO' MURDA"

The slowed down vocal and looping piano line are DJ U-Neek trademarks, and this standout from 1995s landmark "E. 1999: Eternal" is a quintessential BTNH song. 

#8

"EVERYDAY THANG"

An underrated gem from 1995s platinum-selling "The Show" soundtrack, it's a good indicator of how strongly Bone had already established their sound even after only one major label release. 

#7

"CREEPIN' ON AH COME UP"

One of the tracks that epitomizes DJ U-Neek's woozy production, this slow-roller is one of the group's most low-key psychedelic efforts. All squealing synths and syrupy basslines, it's like the Dirty South and the West Coast converging in Cleveland. 

#6

"MR. BILL COLLECTOR"

With a snippet from Eddie Murphy's classic "Coming To America," Bone Thugs flips the script and instead of rapping about paying bills, they make it clear that they're the ones coming to collect. "Yo' rent's due, muthafucka!"

#5

"THUG LOVE" FEAT. 2PAC

In the wake of Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder, Hip-Hop was reeling. Bone Thugs had this brilliant track already in waiting, and when the world heard the fallen Pac alongside the Cleveland spitters over that now-legendary, gunshot-led beat; it was like the legendary Shakur had never left us.

#4

"FOE DA LOVE OF $"

Eazy-E's most prominent feature on a Bone Thugs album and one of the singles that came to define the group. The Ruthless Records founder gave an assist to his newest proteges in 1994, delivering a street anthem for the ages. 

#3

"THA CROSSROADS"

A monster hit. A decade-defining classic. When Bone Thugs remixed their somber album cut "Tha Crossroads," they delivered one of the rap game's most iconic elegies. The fact that the Grammy-winning smash also doubled as a tribute to their fallen mentor Eazy only made it more poignant. 

#2

"1ST OF THE MONTH"

Chris Rock joked that this classic 1995 hit was "niggas sangin' welfare carols," but it helped cement Bone as the most unique hitmakers of the 1990s. Following their acclaimed EP "Creepin' On Ah Come Up," this was the song that let everyone know they were just getting started. 

#1

"THUGGISH RUGGISH BONE"

It wasn't their first single, but it was the single that announced them to the world. With an instantly-memorable hook from Shatasha Williams and those uniquely rapid-fire flows, five Midwestern rhymers shot out of the gate with a song that was unapologetically (shout-out to Rev. Calvin Butts) thuggish.

Before he became the Godfather of Gangsta Rap, a young Eazy-E was just Eric Wright—rockin’ a Los Angeles windbreaker, camcorder in hand, soaking in the magic at Disneyland in 1987. Months later, he’d flip the entire hip-hop scene with N.W.A and put Compton on the global map. This rare moment captures the calm before the cultural storm he helped ignite. 🖤🎥🏁
