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.

1,2,3, and to the 4
Eazy muthafuckin' E
With the chrome to your dome
Cruisin' in my '64 rag top
I got a lot of juice
A lot of fuckin' block
Now when I hit that switch I'm bouncin'
And I'm clownin'
Keep the gat in my lap
'cause I'm fully strapped
For the car jackers
Fuck no hapsters
I pack a Tech-9
Plus a AK-47
Send a one way ticket to my hell
Or maybe heaven, peep
Nigga I don't sleep
Burry muthafuckas in the concrete
You try creep kinda slow in a Astro
But I peep you niggas out in my left window
So I blast and I blast til I blast no mo
Yo, they call a muthafucka John Doe
[Chorus] x 4
'cause when I hit that switch I'm bouncin'
More bounce to the ounce
And I'm clownin'
[Roc Slanga]
Be a witness to murda
Niggas bustin' out of a '64 Chevy
Straight callin' my city
Niggas be winnin' and gettin' busy
Wit a tizy
Through my city
Chalk lines hang
Niggas bang
Chevy's swang like it ain't no thang
The gangs bang
So nigga tuck your chain
And try to buck this thang
End up gettin' one stuck in you brain
To refrain from this game of stressin'
Smokin' on water
And fin to bang your daughter
All up in the Best Western
She like the way that my '64 hop
Drop the top
Grab a rock
Now she's givin' me top
Non stop on the all row seat
Like the made me screen
So I two-wayed my nigga Eazy-E
[Chorus] x 4
[Eazy-E]
Old nigga E still cruisin'
Punk stay up on the nuts and the bone
Pussy nigga had beef knocked out of his teeth
The muthafucka should have stayed his ass home
Hey yo peep them bitchez in the Honda
4 deep with the proper ass sounds
Now every time that I meet a fine cute bitch
She got a friend from the fuckin' Dog Pound
Hey yo bitch
Here's the seven digits
Call me if you can
Only if you want it
Let a nigga know
Can I dig like a minor, 49er
Diggin' for gold from behind her
Watch this nigga do some diggin'
Pop that pussy on a platter
Watch this nigga do some diggin'
It's so tight it doesn't matter
YO!
[Chorus] x 4
[Hook]
Hit them swithez [hit them swithez]
Hit them swithez [come on nigga]
Hit the swithez [make that shit bounce man]
Make it bounce [make it bounce homie]
Hit them swithez [man come on homie]
Hit them swithez [make that shit bounce homie]
Hit the swithez [three wheel motion]
Make it bounce [say what]
[Chorus] x 8
[Roc Slanga]
That's right nigga

That real gangsta shit
From on of the realest niggas in this game
You know his name nigga

The lyrics to Eazy-E's "Switchez" are about cruising in his '64 rag top, boasting about his power and weaponry. Eazy-E is known for his gangsta rap style, which is evident in these lyrics. He feels untouchable while cruising, but he's always prepared for anyone who might want to try and jack his car or communicate with him. He's fully armed with a Tech-9 and an AK-47, and he's not afraid to use them. He's confident that he can take anyone down who wants to mess with him or his car.
The chorus "When I hit that switch I'm bouncing, more bounce to the ounce and I'm clowning" has two meanings. Firstly, when he turns on the hydraulics in his car, it bounces up and down, giving him that extra bounce. Secondly, the word "clowning" means he's having a great time and feeling good. He's enjoying his freedom and the thrill of cruising around in his car.
Overall, "Switchez" is a classic gangsta rap song that showcases Eazy-E's style, attitude, and bravado. The lyrics reflect the reality of his life and the world he lived in, and they still hold up today as a testament to his legacy and influence.

Now another guy (Roc Slanga) is rapping
Be a witness to murda
Watch me kill people
Niggas bustin' out of a '64 Chevy
Me and some other guys are driving around in a classic car and shooting people
Straight callin' my city
We're causing chaos in my hometown
Niggas be winnin' and gettin' busy
We're successful and busy doing criminal activities
Wit a tizy
With a gun
Through my city
In my hometown
Chalk lines hang
We're killing people and leaving their bodies on the ground
Niggas bang
We're part of a gang and we're violent
Chevy's swang like it ain't no thang
Our car is bouncing around and it looks cool
The gangs bang
Our gang is powerful and dangerous
So nigga tuck your chain
Hide your jewelry so it doesn't get stolen
And try to buck this thang
If you're brave enough, try to fight us off
End up gettin' one stuck in you brain
You'll end up getting shot in the head
To refrain from this game of stressin'
It's better not to get involved in this dangerous game
Smokin' on water
We're smoking something (possibly weed) that's really good
And fin to bang your daughter
We're planning to have sex with someone's daughter
All up in the Best Western
We're having sex with someone's daughter in a hotel
She like the way that my '64 hop
A girl is impressed with my car's hydraulics
Drop the top
Lower the car's convertible top
Grab a rock
We're smoking drugs (possibly crack cocaine)
Now she's givin' me top
The girl is performing oral sex on me
Non stop on the all row seat
We're having sex in the back seat of the car
Like the made me screen
She's moaning and enjoying the sex
So I two-wayed my nigga Eazy-E
I contacted Eazy-E and told him about the sex I just had
[Chorus] x 4
When I activate my hydraulic suspension, my car bounces a lot and I'm having a great time
[Eazy-E]
Now I'm rapping again
Old nigga E still cruisin'
I'm still driving my classic car and causing trouble
Punk stay up on the nuts and the bone
Don't mess with me or I'll beat you up
Pussy nigga had beef knocked out of his teeth
Someone tried to start a fight with me, but I beat him up and knocked some of his teeth out
The muthafucka should have stayed his ass home
He shouldn't have tried to mess with me and should have stayed home
Hey yo peep them bitchez in the Honda
Check out those girls in the Honda
4 deep with the proper ass sounds
There are four girls in the car and they're playing good music
Now every time that I meet a fine cute bitch
Whenever I meet an attractive girl
She got a friend from the fuckin' Dog Pound
She has a friend who is part of another gang (the Dog Pound)
Hey yo bitch
Hey girl
Here's the seven digits
Here's my phone number
Call me if you can
Call me if you're up for it
Only if you want it
Only if you want to hook up with me
Let a nigga know
Tell me if you're interested
Can I dig like a minor, 49er
Can I have sex with you from behind like a gold miner (49er) digging for gold?
Diggin' for gold from behind her
Having sex with a girl from behind
Watch this nigga do some diggin'
Watch me have sex with her
Pop that pussy on a platter
