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.

Broker than a joke, bitch stole my role
And every time I see the bitch she needs cash
She make me want to slap her ass
Triflin bitch always got me in a fit
The low-life-Compton-shoppin-swap-me trick
I want to kill the ho
then slam her in the trunc of my six fo'
Coz yo, that ho made my dick grow
and now her lawyer's at every show
waitin for me to kick in my dough
But before I go I'm on death row
coz the bitch had too much drama...
FUCK MY BABY'Z MAMA !
[CHORUS:]
FUCK MY BABY'Z MAMA ! (7x)
[Trick bitch !]

while I'm in court payin child support
But then I gotta deal with the father and the steel
and he's the type o' nigga that a nigga's gotta kill

The lyrics to Eazy-E's song "My Baby'z Mama" reflect on the difficulties of dealing with a baby mama who is trying to sue for child support, even when the father is providing for the child. The song highlights the challenges of dealing with a mother who is scandalous and creates problems despite the father's attempts to help raise the child. The lyrics also discuss the financial burden of dealing with child support and the added frustration of a lawyer who is always waiting to get their piece of the pie. Eazy vents his aggression towards his former baby mama, who has caused him a lot of drama and financial hardship, leaving him on death row with the constant pressure of having to make payments. In the end, Eazy-E expresses his hatred towards his baby'z mama with a big "F**k you" directed towards her.
Looking at the song in a cultural context, it represents a common experience of fatherhood in Black communities. It speaks to the challenges that Black fathers face, such as the financial burden of child support, the stigma of being labeled a "deadbeat dad," and the need to navigate a custody or support system that may be biased against them. The song also reflects on the toxic masculinity that is prevalent in hip-hop and society at large, where women are often depicted as antagonists.
