Born and raised in Compton, a small yet violent city near Los Angeles, Wright had several legal troubles before founding Ruthless in 1987. After a short solo career with frequent collaboration with Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, they joined, forming N.W.A, later that year.
N.W.A's debut studio album, Straight Outta Compton, was released in 1988. Controversial upon release, it is now ranked among the greatest and most influential albums. The group released its third and final studio album, Niggaz4Life.
N.W.A began to split up after Jerry Heller became the band's manager. Dr. Dre recalls: "The split came when Jerry Heller got involved. He played the divide and conquer game. Instead of taking care of everybody, he picked one nigga to take care of and that was Eazy. And Eazy was like, 'I'm taken care of, so fuck it'." Dr. Dre and The D.O.C. sent Suge Knight to look into Eazy-E's financial situation as they began to grow suspicious of Eazy-E and Jerry Heller. Dr. Dre and The D.O.C. asked Eazy-E to release him from Ruthless, but Eazy-E refused. The impasse led to what reportedly transpired between Suge Knight and Eazy-E at the recording studio where Niggaz4life was recorded. After he refused to release Dr. Dre and The D.O.C., Suge Knight told Eazy-E that he had kidnapped Jerry Heller and was holding him prisoner in a van. This did not convince Eazy-E to release Dr. Dre and The D.O.C. from Ruthless, and Suge Knight threatened Eazy-E's family: Suge Knight gave Eazy-E a piece of paper that contained Eazy's mother's address, telling him, "I know where your mama stays." Eazy-E finally signed Dr. Dre and The D.O.C.'s releases, officially ending N.W.A.
The feud with Dr. Dre continued after a track on Dre's debut album The Chronic, "Fuck wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')", contained lyrics that insulted Eazy-E. Eazy responded with the EP, It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa, featuring the tracks "Real Muthaphuckkin G's" and "It's On". The album, which was released on October 25, 1993, contains pictures of Dre wearing "lacy outfits and makeup" when he was a member of the Electro-hop World Class Wreckin' Cru.
During N.W.A's splintering Eazy-E resumed his solo career released two EPs. Yet he remained more significant behind the scenes, signing and nationally debuting the rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony from 1993 to 1994.
On February 24, 1995, Wright was admitted to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with a violent cough. He was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. He announced his illness in a public statement on March 16, 1995. During the week of March 20, having already made amends with Ice Cube, he drafted a final message to his fans. On March 26, 1995, Eazy-E died from AIDS-induced pneumonia, one month after his diagnosis. He was 30 years old (most reports at the time said he was 31 due to the falsification of his date of birth by one year). He was buried on April 7, 1995, at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California. Over 3,000 people attended his funeral, including Jerry Heller and DJ Yella. He was buried in a gold casket, and was dressed in a flannel shirt, jeans, and his Compton hat. On January 30, 1996, ten months after Eazy-E's death, his final album, Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton was released.
Easy had 11 children, one of which, Eric, would start his own rap career under the name Lil Eazy-E.

Eazy-E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do some shit with my niggas from the CPT, ha ha
You ready Eiht?
[MC Eiht]
Yeah, c'mon
[Mack 10]
Got turned out early by them scandalous freaks
Addicted to crime so I stay in the mix
With a love for hoochie chicks and pulling jewelry licks
Moms said, "Mack, baby watch for danger"
I said, "Momma don't you know I'm a real gang banger?"
I can't switch over night and be good
And I'll be damned if a nigga turned his back on the hood
So I walked out the door, hopped in the Regal
Twisting triple gold with the all black eagle
Got a deuce fired at Scoob's, I need a gat
So I stopped and got the Tech from my G homie Wreck
He said, "Mack, don't slip dog, u gotta stay heated
And here's the extra clip incase you might need it"
Get the eighty eight skate, ang get your slide on
Throw the Hoo-Bang plack in the back and your ride on
[Chorus: x2]
Ride for me, I'ma ride for you
You Hoo-Bang, I Hoo-Bang, so we all a crew
Get yo ride on, get yo slide on, who the best
Nobody rides like these killas from the west
[Eazy E]
1, 2, 3, and to the 4
Eazy motherfucking with a chrome to your dome
Cruising, in my 6-4 rag top
I got a lot of juice, a lot of fucking block
Now when I hit that switch I'm bouncing
More bounce to the ounce and I'm clowning
Keep the gat in my lap cause I'm fully strapped
For the car jackers, but no haps cause I pack a
Tech 9, plus a A-K 47
Send a one way ticket to my hell or maybe heaven
Peep, nigga I don't sleep
Bury motherfuckers in the concrete
You try to creep kinda slow in a Astro
But I'm peeping niggas out in my left window
So I blast, and I blast, so I blast no more
Yo, they call me motherfucking John Doe
[Chorus]
[MC Eiht]
Real thugs roll cause the Westside's sick
Which enemy depicts to catch the 9 clip
Slick, but not like Rick, the gang story
G's kill and ain't shit funny like Joe Corry
Don't make me laugh cause I"m on the wrong the path
Catch the blood bath, it's the aftermath
Slang strike to make money, now ain't that simple?
That silly nigga's wearing vest's but we aim for the temple
Watch my nigga's back, who sacked the yayo
Keep the calico with extra ammo
So and so gets blasted, to the casket
Never seen these west side G's face, we masked it
Y'all best be defeat and be discreet
Catch the hot heat from across the street
Take me in the dump schools that, wanna push me
Retaliation, straight better than hitting pussy
[Chorus]
Ugh, MC Eiht in the motherfucking house
(yeah, Hoo-Bang one time)
Yeah, ha
(Hoo-Bang two times)
Rest in peace Eazy E
(the hip hop thugster)
(yeah)
Fa sho
(Mack Dime)
Come on, ugh
(all day baby, all day baby)
West side riders! Ugh
The lyrics to "Get Yo Ride On" by Eazy-E, Mack 10, and MC Eiht describe their lifestyle as gangsters riding around their city in lowriders, prepared to defend themselves against their enemies. Mack 10 sings about being born to ride, and how he got involved in criminal activities early on in his life. His mother warned him about the dangers of being a gang banger, but he refused to give up his life on the streets. He drives around in his Regal with an extra clip in case he needs it. MC Eiht raps about the Westside's sick culture, mentioning their methods of making money through drug dealing and gang violence. Eazy-E's verse is perhaps the most famous, where he raps about cruising around in his 6-4 ragtop, equipped with guns to protect himself from carjackers.
The chorus is a call to action for their fellow gang members to ride together, stay united and go after their enemies. The lyrics glorify the gangster lifestyle, suggesting that being a thug is cool and admirable. However, the reality of the matter is that this lifestyle leads to violence, death, and jail time. "Get Yo Ride On" is an example of gangsta rap, a subgenre of hip hop that emerged in the 1980s and became popular in the 1990s. The lyrics of gangsta rap songs often depict violent and rebellious themes.

Do some shit with my niggas from the CPT, ha ha
Let's hang out with our friends from Compton and have some fun
I was born to ride, banging, pack heat
I was destined to be a gang member, carry weapons and commit crimes
Got turned out early by them scandalous freaks
I was introduced to a life of crime at a young age by some unsavory individuals
Addicted to crime so I stay in the mix
I am so used to committing crimes that I can't imagine stopping now
With a love for hoochie chicks and pulling jewelry licks
I enjoy being around promiscuous women and stealing expensive jewelry
Moms said, "Mack, baby watch for danger"
My mother warned me about the dangers of my lifestyle
"I said, "Momma don't you know I'm a real gang banger?"
I told my mother that I am a true member of the gang and cannot change overnight
So I walked out the door, hopped in the Regal
I left home and got into my car
Got a deuce fired at Scoob's, I need a gat
I fired two shots at Scoob's house and realized I needed a gun
Get the eighty eight skate, ang get your slide on
Get the car and let's go for a ride
Throw the Hoo-Bang plack in the back and your ride on
Put the Hoo-Bang sign in the back of the car and let's go ride around town
Ride for me, I'ma ride for you
If you have my back, I'll have yours
You Hoo-Bang, I Hoo-Bang, so we all a crew
We are all part of the Hoo-Bang gang
Cruising, in my 6-4 rag top
Driving around in my 1964 Chevrolet Impala convertible
I got a lot of juice, a lot of fucking block
I am very influential and respected in my neighborhood
Now when I hit that switch I'm bouncing
When I press the switch, my car starts bouncing up and down
Keep the gat in my lap cause I'm fully strapped
I keep my gun on my lap because I am ready for any danger
For the car jackers, but no haps cause I pack a
I am prepared for anyone who tries to steal my car
Slang strike to make money, now ain't that simple?
Making money through illegal activities is easy, isn't it?
Never seen these west side G's face, we masked it
We always hide our faces during criminal activities

No one survived on the streets without a protective mask. No one survived naked. You had to have a role. You had to be "thug," "playa," "athlete," "gangsta," or "dope man." Otherwise, there was only one role left to you: "victim." Jerry Heller on Eazy-E
