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.

giving love to the players that I know
Showing respect and support to the fellow criminals I associate with
Now ever since a nigga was a seed
Since the day I was born
the only thing that was promised to me was the penetentary
I was destined for prison from the beginning
still ballin riding on these niggas cause they lame
I'm still successful and dominating over these weak individuals

Driving a heavily-revered '61 Chevy, I am still influential in the criminal world
can u feel me blame it on my mama I'm a thug nigga
Understand that my upbringing and genetics made me a tough and fearless individual
up before the sunrise quicker than a drug dealer
I'm awake and active even before sunrise, faster than your average drug dealer
tell me if it's on nigga we be first to bomb
Let me know if there's any action happening, because I'll be the first to attack

Now everybody wanna see us dead
Everyone desires our demise
two murders on the front page shot to death bullets to the head
News headlines feature two people killed by gunshots to the head
niggas holla out my name in a sima way
People shout my name in a disrespectful manner
muthafuckers know I'm comin so they go running to their graves
These individuals know I'm a threat, so they flee in fear of death
watch swoop down with my nigga from the pound
Watch as I make a surprise attack with my friend from the neighborhood
"EAZY" we don't give a fuck about you coward niggas now
I proudly represent Eazy-E, and I have no respect for these fearful individuals
keep pumpin don't worry about nuthin
Continue to work hard and don't stress about anything
u must of the thought we was frontin so we load and keep shootin
You mistakenly believed we were bluffing, so we arm ourselves and continue shooting
Pop on fools with a quickness and they got no cure for this sickness

I get paid for the way that I get this
I earn money for the illegal activities I engage in
like a Gster an OGster a real player named eazy
I do it like a true gangster, an experienced individual, a skilled player named Eazy-E
and I live my life straight crazy
I live an incredibly reckless and wild life
don't need no punk fools paying me
I don't require money from weak individuals
and broke groupies and hoochies don't phase me
I'm not affected by poor and promiscuous women
I take two steps back and release myself
I distance myself from negativity and set myself free
to put platinum and gold on the record shelves
To achieve massive success and sell millions of copies of my music
I don't brag but I put it up like it straight up is
I don't boast, but I present the reality as it truly is
before you do a record handle your business
Sort out your personal affairs before you release a record
and don't get caught slippin on the under
Don't make the mistake of being vulnerable and getting caught off guard
or u might run 'wuts up on them inns G'
Otherwise, you might encounter dangerous situations and face the consequences
I call it's get paid it's paid G's show your way
I refer to it as making money, and the successful individuals should proudly display their wealth
so I get mine fool
That's why I work hard to acquire what is rightfully mine
I got a gold daytona's on the chevy '64 white walls so clean like I'm riding on volves
I have gold rims on my Chevrolet '64, and the white tires are spotless, making it appear as if I'm driving on air
in one switch man that ass so low
With just one switch, I can lower my car's suspension to ride extremely close to the ground
cali got niggas in new york ridin' on hundred spokes
California has people in New York City riding cars with elaborate hundred-spoke rims
touch me, tease me, kiss me, please me, I'll give it to you just how you like it girl
Engage in intimate activities with me, and I'll satisfy you according to your desires, my girl
your now rockin with the best
You are currently in the presence of the most skilled and talented individual
four pound gun on my hip gold chain on my chest(ahhh!)
I carry a four-pound gun on my hip, and I wear a gold chain around my neck (expressing satisfaction)
Fifty uh, bentli uh, em came and got a nigga fresh out the slump
Fifty Cent and Eminem helped me recover from a period of difficulty and misfortune
automatic gun fuckin one on one
I possess a fully automatic weapon and I engage in confrontations
we'll rap your punk ass stunt your done
We'll verbally attack and humiliate your cowardly behavior, and your reputation will be ruined
homie it's game time
My friend, it's time to take action and show our true abilities
Your ready here it come
Get ready, because here it comes
call Lloyd Banks and get this motherfucker crunk
Contact Lloyd Banks and get this party energetic and exciting
it took two months but fifty got it done
It may have taken some time, but now Fifty Cent has successfully completed the task
sign with G-Unit and had niggas like huh
Signing with G-Unit surprised and confused people
don't try to front I'll leave your ass slumped
Don't attempt to deceive, or I'll leave you beaten or humiliated
thinkin I'm a punk your fugga head rumped fifty got a gun
If you believe I'm weak or foolish, you're greatly mistaken; Fifty Cent is armed
Ready here it come
Get prepared because here it comes
I got a sit this chedda we bomb up better and draw em' up setter ball em' redder
I need to gather a large amount of money, and we explosively defeat and intimidate our enemies
it sounds better than average tracks I'm a savage I damage any nigga tryin to front on my click
Our music is superior to others, and I'm aggressive and destructive towards anyone who challenges my crew
G-UNIT!
Representing and shouting out G-Unit!
