EAZY-E: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF GANGSTER from KOMPTON

Eazy-E: Life and Death of a gangster Compton

Long before the Shug Knight became a rap version of Mike Tyson, a white rapper with the Eighth Mile nagnul black industry, in a hip-hop person who has acted contrary to all the rules and completely changed the atmosphere in rap. It was Eri with "Eazy-E" Wright, the one who brought to the top of vestkost and glorified century native Compton, a suburb south of Los Angeles.

In those years, the western coast had no weight on the rap map-America. While east heroes delivered to the stage one after another - from popsovogo MC Hummer to criminal and social Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim and KRS-One & Boogie Down Productions. After graduating from high school, and ad libitum feeding potorgovav drug Eazy-E thought the expansion of business and saw the prospect of rap music. Together with producer Jerry Hellerom, cunning fox, knowing all ways-track music business, they founded Ruthless Records label and quickly signed the most talented guys western coast. In the future supergroup were recruited Dr potential stars. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren and DJ Yella. Naturally, led a new rap-forming itself Eazy-E. The Panel called Niggaz With Attitude, passes with the position.

The position was simple and clear. This was the position of force, the position of the call to disobedience and rebellion. Uncompromising texts of the world denounced injustice, hardship college existence in the ghettos. Born a new notion - gangsta-rap.

At the same time, started swinging a wave of gangsta rap, Ice-T, the famous OG, oridzhinal gangsta. Ideas shaped in the air, and it was necessary to try to extract every conceivable dividends first. Perhaps the NWA succeeded in the more rest.

Each clear that Eazy-E on its technical and poetic abilities far from the best in the world. But what he did not take away is sposobonostey organizer, vision, skills shield young talents and skills to rally their one idea. Eazy understood than to blow up the masses - and the iron and the people of America gave a whole new rap.

"Boyz-N-the Hood," "Fuck The Police," "Express Yourself" - that tracks inscribed in the chronicles of hip-hop golden letters. Documentary, perevorotny album "Straight Outta Compton" disagreed million copies. Even white adolescents from families dressed in black jackets and baseball caps LA Raiders and shouted "Fuck The Police."

Then artists merry-funky rap as a sdulis times. Even rasstalsya Hummer with a huge purse for the pants, prefixed by the IPU and even tried to be a bit harder on the album "The Funky Headhunter." But all this was nothing more than feyk and compromise, NWA were the very same uncompromising position with blacks. But together they were destined to be a short-lived.

The first boat left Ice Cube, the most gifted tekstovik from NWA. The financial conditions of the contract stopped his suit. Fewer all, it was like a rastavanie good friends - Ice Cube farewell to throw murderous track "No Vaseline". In this dise Cube ranked former colleagues to sex Menshevik, and manager Jerry Helleru already won because he Jew.

Then Suge Knight, founder of Death Row label, which made its name 2pac and Snoop Dogg, simply robbing Eazy-E. He took his main asset Ruthless Records, the genius composer and arranger Dr. Dre, who for nearly the past fifteen years, influences the development rap worldwide. C has long Dre Eazy became the enemy.

Eazy not happened smashed from the saddle. Although NWA album "Efil4zfagin (perevertysh" phrase Niggaz 4 Life), which Eazy-E became soup teams not used very successfully, and in some sense was a step backwards, Ruthless Records continued to exist and gave the trip to life a remarkable group of Cleveland Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. But after the release of weak mini-album, "It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa" with another party in plevkom Dre, Eazy importance as a musical figure fell to a critical point. In the future, Eazy-E remained significant character, retired at the party until the great battle, and remains just that, remember past exploits. From time to time, he reminded themselves extravagant pranks, like buying dinner at the invitation of the Republican Party. Eazy there was unchanged in baseball cap and black jacket, shocking its neighbours over the table - conservative politicians, and among them was George Bush senior.

And in 1995 - om sounded shocking news - what Eazy-E believed asthma, was the first manifestations of AIDS. HIV-infected rapper waned quickly and quietly. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and three weeks later he died. A year has been released his latest, unfinished album "Str8 Off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton."

Compton priutih - but only temporarily. Ten years later, The Game, a native of this new suburb, is ready to return the former glory of the western shore. The follow Fame Komtona Pushcha for legitimacy in the forearm nakolol image Eazy-E. So how it is most often depicted in the photo - with curled hair, vihrami torchaschey from under a black baseball cap with the inscription Compton. It was in such a Dr. Dre on the famous photo, representing peace Game `a.

Another heir, the legitimate son of Lil E, and most recently took the first step to the big stage, having released the track containing rechetativy 2pac and Notorious BIG So the streets mazafakkin-Komtpona not scarce at the talent. And while the situation is so, Eazy-E is not threatened with oblivion.
