#RIP Eazy-E

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.

Scout would LOVE mucisian drama even if he doesnt know the artist, eats that shit up and becomes a megafan of some dude in a day just because they dropped a good satire or diss track. Rip scout you wouldve loved Kendrick v Drake (and also hatsune miku)

RIP Scout you would've loved Kendrick v Drake. And Megan Thee Stallion. And Eazy E's "Real Muthaphuckkin G's". And Hatsune Miku. Can't forget her.

1- Me On You - Muscadine Bloodline

Such a hearty song with a couple lines I will scream all day

Good God Almighty and Lordy have mercy Little momma got me fumblin', stumblin' by the way that she walks I need your kiss like a catfish Need a stank bait, can't take the way you done drop my jaw

2- Ick - Lay Bankz

It's so catchy SORRY

3- My Love Mine All Mine - Mitski

If you don't at least appreciate the meaning of this song there's something wrong with you-

Moon, tell me if I could Send up my heart to you? So, when I die, which I must do Could it shine down here with you? 'Cause my love is mine, all mine I love mine, mine, mine Nothing in the world belongs to me But my love mine, all mine, all mine

4- The Lover - Nine Inch Nails

This will forever be a Gene/Sid song to me

His eyes summer Hypnotize they see inside of me

5- Cash Shit (feat. DaBaby) - Megan Thee Stallion

I LOVE HER SO MUCH UGH IT'S SO BAD MY OBSESSION WITH ER MUSIC RECENTLY-

Yeah, that's my dawg, he gon' sit down and listen Call him a trick and he don't get offended He know he giving his money to Megan He know it's very expensive to date me Told him go put my name on that account Because when I need money, I ain't tryna, hold up

6- Cocaine Country Dancing - Paul Cauthen

He puts the old sound of country into his new era of lyrics with a bit of modern instrumentals, which scratches the perfect itch in my brain

I said, a-twist for me, baby Hit a rip for me, baby Take another shot, get lit for me baby, ooh-wee ... Well I'll twist for you, baby Hit a rip for you, baby Take another shot, get lit for you baby

7- Thot Shit - Megan Thee Stallion

SHE'S BACK HOES

Hoes tryna call me a snake, shit, I guess I can relate 'Cause a bitch spit a whole lot of venom And since these hoes all rats, when they come around me All I see is a whole lotta dinner ... I 'on't a give a fuck who talk behind my back 'Cause the bitch knew better than to let me hear ... Big bank take lil' bank, bitch, add it up Hoes taking shots but they ain't in my caliber

8- Girls in the Hood - Megan Thee Stallion

this... has to be unhealthy- I LOVE EAZY-E TOO AND I LOVE HER FOR RE-DOING THE SONG BUT FOR HER AND THE GIRLS

'Cause the girls in the hood are always hard Ever since 16, I been havin' a job Knowin' nothin' in life, but I gotta get rich You could check the throwback pics, I been that bitch, uh

9- Love My Way - The Psychedelic Furs

Duck how the fuck do we both have CMBYN songs on our repeat playlists???? I do love this song so much though, the scene it goes with makes me so sad and happy at the same time-

There's an army on the dance floor It's a fashion with a gun, my love In a room without a door A kiss is not enough in

10- Cobra - Megan Thee Stallion

yeah I might need to listen to someone else..... I won't but I probably need to-

How long you been worried 'bout me telling people that's not me? Honestly it kinda feel like you plottin', watching Why is you speaking on me at my lowest When you acted like you ain't noticed?
