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.

You, you, you really need to let these niggas
You know, I mean, what, what really went down
You know I mean, with all this shit junked off nigga
This yo' nigga Paperboy nigga, you know, know
Come on nigga it's me nigga
Don't hold shit back, let 'em mothafuckas know

No justice, no peace, so mothafuck 'em cops (Fuck 'em cops!)
Fuckin' with niggas for no God damn reason
So the 187 on all pigs all season
You ain't no mothafuckin' role book cop
I got bullets that your mothafuckin' chest won't stop (Won't stop!)
So check me if you mothafuckin' can
I said fuck the police in '89
Did ya' understand?
And shit ain't changed, shit still the same
Blowin' out brains
Whipped set identified or I'll be slaved
Livin' in the case, 3 strikes and I'm out
Shit y'all could say

Mothafuckas layin' on it on the mothafuckin' flow

The lyrics of Eazy-E’s song “Still Fuckem” address issues of police brutality and unfair treatment towards African Americans, depicting a society with no justice and no peace. The song was released in 1995, during a time when such issues were frequently highlighted, leading to occurrences of widespread social unrest. The perspective of the song is from the point of view of Eazy-E, who is expressing his displeasure and frustration with the police through his lyrics. He references the iconic 1965 Watts riots, which began as a result of police brutality towards African Americans, with the line “187 on all pigs all season.” The 187 is a reference to the California penal code, which refers to the act of murder.
Eazy-E also talks about his past experiences of being harassed by the police, claiming that he has not forgotten their unjust treatment of him. He uses derogatory language towards the police, calling them “motherfuckers” and “cops,” and vows to take revenge and stand up for his rights. He presents himself as a “G,” an urban slang term for a gangster or someone who is tough, through his lyrics. He talks about his riches and how people want what he has, but they cannot be like him. He portrays himself as a fearless dictator and a role model for young people. The song’s lyrics are delivered in Eazy-E’s signature style, with profanity and aggression, adding to its overall impact.
