To-Do List

Work to do

Feel free to add to the list if you see work that needs to be done. After you've completed a task on this list, move it down to the Completed List.

Gangsta Gangsta is a disambiguation page with a reference to a posthumorous Eazy-E album called Gangsta-Gansta, which just refers to here, but this page says absolutely nothing about the album.
Lil Eazy-E, Eazy-E's rapper son, redirects here, but there is no information about him here. He has released at least one mixtape, and has an upcoming album The Prince of Compton.

Rinsed?

"Eazy-E (Who is most know for getting RINSED by Cubie) was born..."

What the heck does 'RINSED' mean? 71.103.21.132 20:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The armchair (suburban, white) gangster is indeed a strange beast. He uses all sorts of bizarre slang that he thinks exists but does not. Michael.A.Anthony 02:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lance "Ryder" Wilson

I thought he looked like Eazy!! I wuz right, maybe thats why hes may fav character een though hes a traitor!! he'S played by MC Eiht whos in GTA SA, and they both have songs on RLS! So suz Charles Wright, on Master Sounds, though i dunno if they are related above it says they are not... RealG187 17:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think they be related

The character is a homage to Eazy. --Ted87 21:31, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thats why I like him, its good the article says that! I kinda thought, this just proved me right! RealG187 20:36, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone notice how cjs elder brother on GTA:san andreas looks a lot like Ice Cube and CJ kinda looks like Dr. Dre.

Damn I never thought about it but now that you mention it they do

look a lot like Dr. Dre and Ice Cube.

Nah, CJ look like Dr. Dre but i think Sweet's a darker version of Lloyd Banks

His daughter

Will be on Sweet 16 this Monday.74.195.3.199 21:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i hope you die for disgrassing someone such as this with MTV B-S(Esskater11 23:57, 7 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Uhhh. . . in what way is that disgraCeful? Michael.A.Anthony 02:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gang Member

Eazy E was also a gang member of Kelly Park Compton Crips. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.41.113.242 (talk) 21:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

No Realy

Well, his son is a crip, in other words, his article once stated that he is a crip "like his father." how strange someone stated that he was a blood.Triple-Quadruple 04:55, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tombstone

In his song "Tha Muthaphukkin' Real" he raps "And it's a fact to be exact my tombstone should read: He Put Compton On That Map". Wright's body was laid to rest at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California. Can anyone from that region check out his tombstone? I live in The Netherlands, I can hardly travel there to check it out. --213.46.1.82 17:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I (finally) found a picture from his grave via Google. It says: "Our Beloved ERIC WRIGHT 1963 - 1995 We Loved Him A Lot But God Loved Him More". --213.46.1.82 23:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have a problem with me removing the following text? It reads like something in a tabloid and has little to do with Eazy himself. If mentioned at all it should be a single sentence like : his daughter Erin has appeared on the MTV series 'My Super Sweet 16. Speak now or forever hold your piece:

"On February 5, 2007, his daughter Erin appeared on the MTV series 'My Super Sweet 16.' Her party was at a 16 million dollar mansion in Bel-Air, and in her entrance she appeared in an approx. $400k Lamborghini Murciélago. She is noted for her diva attitude to her clothing and hair stylist[citation needed]. She got a Porsche Cayenne for her birthday and had her party shut down due to noise levels."

No, go ahead and remove it; I agree completely. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 22:53, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Guns N' Roses??

It says in the article that before his death, Eazy-E was scheduled to do make music with Guns N' Roses. Where is this information from? I believe it to be false. 70.67.34.209 05:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC) 22:40, April 9 2007 (PST)[reply]

Crip

He was a crip so somebody add that to the article! He allso sold drugs!

I think his gang affiliation and such are pretty well known as well. Jmlk 1 7 06:18, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Horrorcore

With songs like, "Wut Would You Do?" "Any Last Werdz?" and, "Sorry Louie," I think it would be safe to add Horrorcore to E's list of genres.

I've never even heard of horrorcore, dude. Make a page about it :). Michael.A.Anthony 02:23, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ECE disambiguation page

I have removed a reference to this page on the ECE disambiguation page, as I found no reference either in the article or the talk page here to support its inclusion. Maralia 19:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Illness section

No only encyclopedia section could fully capture Eazy-E's illness. --NEMT 12:50, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. For emotional impact, there are only about six thousand documentaries about it. Michael.A.Anthony 02:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

his illness

hi, just wondering how Eazy actually contracted the virus? and when? (also wondering if all his kids are virus free.)

for it being the reason he died, there's not much to say how. was it a blood transfusion, unprotected sex, through drug use? 194.221.133.211 14:35, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotected sex. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.47.140.143 (talk) 02:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did he die because of sex? West Coast Ryda 19:58, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I remember Eazy-E saying that he used condoms cause he doesn't want to screw around HIV or aids. God knows how he got AIDS, Mabye he never died :o-Random koko guy

The Bone Thugs-N-Harmony song Crossroads makes a reference to how Eazy-E contracted AIDS.. "and Miss Sleazy set up Eazy to fall". Perhaps that could be added to the article in some way? --Josh1billion 02:03, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lil Eazy-E

Who decided to redirect Lil Eazy-E to this page? That was a horrible decision. First of all, Lil Eazy-E (Eazy-E's son) is a rapper on his own-- this article only mentions him once and does not even mention his rapping career, nor his upcoming album. While I'm not quite a fan of Lil Eazy-E, for the sake of making Wikipedia a more complete source, the article must be reinstated, or, at the very least, merged, NOT simply redirected. --Josh1billion 22:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto, I may not be a fan of Lil Eazy but he is not once mentioned in Eazy-E's article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.2.215.209 (talk) 09:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Lil Eazy-E page is currently protected, so I cannot remove the redirection (in order to start the real article). I have put in a request for unprotection. --Josh1billion 02:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The request was denied because some users believe that Lil Eazy-E is not notable enough to be on Wikipedia. I disagree with that decision, as he has released a mixtape and is soon to release a full studio album. The album, The Prince of Compton, has a full track listing already released, as well as names of featured guests on several of those tracks (including Ice Cube). A list of producers has also been released, including Dr. Dre, Scott Storch, Cool & Dre, and a few others. I had all of this information on the The Prince of Compton article, but it was automatically deleted due to a Wikipedia rule which states that if an article had been deleted before, and someone re-creates the article again (even with loads of new information), it can be deleted again automatically without debate. Ah.. such are the downfalls of Wikipedia. --Josh1billion 23:00, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eazy-E didn't appear on Poetic Justice!!!

Who's the moron writing that Eazy E appeared as Thug #2 on Poetic Justice? That guy who played that role is named Che Avery. I'm probably the biggest Eazy-E fan and I've seen that movie several times. It was not Eazy. I've edited it but someone edit it back. Btw check out the IMDB page for Poetic Justice, it clearly says Che Avery - Thug #2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zirak90 (talk • contribs) 10:18, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crip?

Why does this article say Eazy E is a crip without any references? It is common knowledge he sold drugs but he was never a crip. He did songs with several crips, his son may be a crip, but he is not. Never once did he talk about being a crip. In fact no one in N.W.A. was a crip or blood.
