This album is a gansta rap masterpiece from start to finish. And it's still underground; Eazy never got the respect he deserved, and this album is no exception. No doubt the long, somewhat idiosyncratic title had something to do with that, but I assure you that every track on this disc is money. Eazy-E, as everybody knows, was slammed pretty hard on Dr Dre's "Chronic" album, which, as everybody also knows, is ironic, since Dre is basically a poser, and E is the "real deal Holyfield". Eazy decided to set the record straight, and this album is the result. It is awesome. The beats are like nothing you've ever heard; they're way beyond anything Eazy ever put together before or afterwards. They're tight, funky, complicated, layered, and chock-full of his trademark self-sampling. He was obviously determined to flash his mad production skillz, and he clearly succeeded. The whole album has a cohesion and unity to it that few others in the genre can match. No lame skits, no stupid interludes, just wall-to-wall West Coast funksmanship. As for the lyrics, they're sharp and absolutely on-point; there is a simplicity and economy to his rhymes, but there's no question they are devastating. And Eazy's flow is, well, about as smooth as you can possibly get. Some people will say 'Pac had the best flow, or Big L, but I think pound-for-pound the sweetest, smoothest MC ever has to be Eazy E. He's just butter on the mic, and he makes it seem effortless. Probably the best thing about this CD is that even though he was obviously not happy with how he was treated on the "Chronic," he doesn't simply retaliate with a lot of senseless, brutal lyrics. Sure, he's violent, but Eazy never lost his sense of humor, and it shines brilliantly on this collection. He didn't just want to get the last word on Dre, he wanted to get the last laugh, and if you listen to this disc, I think you'll agree: Eazy does it. The whip sound effect on "Gimme that Nutt" is by itself probably the funniest thing I've ever heard on a rap song, and, with the possible exception of "The Humpty Dance," Eazy's "Down to the Last Roach" has to be the best Parliament sample/tribute ever. And if you think Dre's a wuss and Snoop's a b----, or even if you just appreciate a good rap feud, then you'll love the juicy payback that Eazy dishes out throughout the album. There are too many classic lines to list, but probably the best dis comes from Dre himself. Eazy samples his lines from "Express Yourself" in which he denounces marijuana smoking, proving Eazy's point that this guy is just a flip-flopping hip-hopper who went pop, a studio ganster who changed his image just to cash in. Other rappers would have harped on this forever, but Eazy has a nice way of subtly making the point and moving on. Ok, I've rambled enough. Bottom line: Buy this album. Love it. Live it.

When I first started listening to this EP, I found it to be pure fun! The inside CD booklet offers a funny picture of a young Dr. Dre wearing makeup and sequins with the headline "Obitchuary." The Track "Real M--- G's" is one big diss fest aimed at Dr. Dre ("anorexic rapper"), Snoop Doggy Dog, and Death Row: "All of a sudden Dr. Dre is the G thang, but on his own album cover he was a she thang." "It's On" uses a clip from Dr. Dre's NWA days to announce a rapper war! However, the threats on "It's On" are more humorous and light-hearted than the cruel words leveled at Ice Cube after he exited NWA (the "broom handle" line in particular). "Gimmie That Nutt" offers more of E's misogynist (and hilarious) reputation (one that did him in in the end). "Any Last Werdz" is one of the best tracks on the EP and blends E's rapping with soul singing at the chorus. "Still a N--" spotlights the humble side of Eric Wright (yeah, right!) This EP offers yet another version of "Boyz N Tha Hood" with a little Middle Eastern flavor. "Down 2 The Last Roach" is a little lengthy (nearly 8 minutes).

Yes, this CD is hilarious but, in hindsight, it's also nostalgic and sad. N.W.A. was so important to rap music. Straight Outta Compton is the best gansta album ever! Nothing can compare to it! It is a shame they could not have continued longer as a group. The Death Row/Ruthless Records feud is an important piece of rap history, and this CD is a testament to that time. As it turned out, Eazy E did not have the "last werdz" and Dr. Dre has remained highly successful in his personal and professional life. Rap can present two opportunities: (1) to drown in the excesses of the rap culture or (2) to get out of tough areas like Compton and make a lasting name for yourself. Eazy E and Dr. Dre took two different paths.

After the break up of N.W.A, Eazy-E and Dr. Dre started a feud that would go down in the history books. Dr. Dre left Ruthless and started his own label Death Row and released his first solo album, "The Chronic". The albums first single was a song called, "Don't F*** Wit Dre Day" where Dre and Snoop Dogg diss Eazy. But instead of Eazy writing just one diss track, he made a whole record dissing them.

This ep is probably the best ep ever in rap history. Using it to advertise for his 2 upcoming solo albums, "Str8 Off Tha Streetz Of Muthaphukkin Compton I n II", Eazy made it big with this cd. Went 3x platnium within a little amount of time. It's lead single, "Real Muthap******* G's" is where Eazy responds to Dr. Dre's diss song, "Dre Day" on his Chronic Album. This ep also includes the funniest rap song in its history, "Gimme That Nutt" when I first heard that song, I was rolling on the floor and still to this day after many years the song still kills me and puts a smile on my face haha. The only song I didn't like and wouldn't recommend is "Down 2 Tha Last Roach" because the song is close or over 8 minutes long and it is just an album filler in my opinion. Overall this is one of my favorite old school cd's and Eazy will never be forgotten in my heart, and thats one thing for sure.

Eazy Muthaphu**in' E Was the realest muthaphu**in' g ever, kid u dont know **** so what if he wasnt tall, he's probably still taller than u, how old are u 5? have you ever seen Dre? Cos i think u need to know, he aint no muthaphu**in gangsta, he's a muthaphuckin wanksta. Dre, the guy decided to leave N.W.A and then diss his own homie 'bout his voice, atleast eazy kept it real, always spittin the truth. dre acted like he would pull an AK on ya, WTF is he gonna do, walk round with an AK without bein noticed? stupid dumbass muthaphu**er. He died of aids, so what is your point, that dont stop him bein a gangsta,and kid, dont be actin up gansta, u's a kid so shut the **** up, and take ya young ass home.
Moving on, This album soo funny. dre:"stop him in his tracks show him that im ruthless" Eazy:"hey dre......" Dre:"what?" eazy smacks him round the head EAzy:"U shoudda known by now". lmao, its hilarious. Maybe eazy ddint have the best lyrics, maybe he wasnt too tall, but the thang is, he was a real Muthaphu**in' G, he spoke the truth instead of tryna say stuff like "Look my **** is bigger than yours, no really i'll show ya". 50 Cent is a gangbanger, seriously.

R.I.P Eazy Muthaphu**in' E, "Muthaphu** Dr. dre, Muthaphu** Snoop, Muthaphu** Death Row, and here comes ma left blow" Ice Cube's a muthaphu**in' mark, he busted on his homies.

Keep It Real Y'all, Dont be listenin to any of that 50 cent rubbish.

GOD

I purchased this in feb 94 and to this date real muthafukin g's is still one of the all time greatest rap songs........bottom line if for some reason you have not heard this cd go buy it.........

Definetly worth the price. Many will be turned off because this CD rips apart Dr. Dre. Let me just let you know that I'm a big Dre fan, and even the disses can't take the greatness of this CD away. Real Muthaphukkin' G's has an absolutely amazing beat and great lyrics by Eazy, BG Knocc Out and Gangsta Dre'sta. Any Last Werdz has a good beat and amazing lyrics. Still A Nigga has a nice laid back beat and flow. Gimme Dat Nut follows in Eazy's NWA traditions of sex songs. It's On is really funny, and rather than threatening Dre like on Real Muthaphukkin G's, he makes jokes. The remix to Boyz N Tha Hood is arguably the weakest track, with a beat that can't match the original's, but it's still a good song. Down 2 Tha Last Roach is great, but is a bit too long, but the break-down of Marijuana fits really well into the song. All in all, it would've been even better had it been longer.

"I don like your music even if i had herd dis album. "
what have we got here? a f&$ken comedian?
well done fool, u wanna ride dr dre's nuts any more?? eazy-e murdered dre on this 8 track EP, whereas dre couldnt even throw in one decent diss on his whole chronic album. IF U EVER GOT OFF DRE'S D!CK U MAY FIND THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS AND REALIZE HOW MUCH OF A FOOL U ARE. THE BEATS ON THIS KILLS THE CHRONIC'S BEATS.

next time get your facts right. "Dude, why you trying to step to Dre?" well if u knew anything about eazy-e and n.w.a, u would know that dre did the dirty on them and was responsible for the breakup of n.w.a.

Dr. Dre was always the weak link of NWA and held Snoop down and now is pampering the terrible G Unit and Aftermath record but I still like dre for his producing which he should stick to. On the classic cut Compton's 'n the house dre uses the lyrics "whacky whack"... Uhhh no rapper should ever say that.

But the album has sick g funk beats and good lyrics even though it's an EP release it's a good record with a classic diss track Real Muthaphukkin g'z

The news of N.W.A.'s break-up is as old as my grandmother but the legacy of eazy-e will forever be eternal. eazy's e.p. totally destroyed dr. dre, snoop dogg and the whole death row camp with ease, using deadly techniques that later forced dre to squash the beef between them. ignore the fact that the album is 8-songs long, you really need to focus on how much eazy's lyrical content has improved. in songs like 'real muthaphukkin' g's', 'any last werdz' and 'it's on', eazy performs one of his many great lyrics. he totally brought down the house when he completely crushed dre and snoop's 'wit dre day' and proved that he could do it again. 'gimme that nutt' is your typical, good ol' eazy-e and revisits his tone and pace of his n.w.a. days.

overall, this album should have received a well-deserved 5 mics from the source. i don't know what the hell the source was smoking on when this album was released, giving it no 5 mics just for the album length is no excuse (recall that run dmc's self-titled album, rap's first classic, was 9-songs long and still got 5 mics). though eazy didn't release as many cds as the rest of n.w.a. (excluding yella), he created a strong and powerful legacy that still influence youngstaz living today. he was and still is the gangsta of all gangstaz, the godfather of gangsta rap and will forever remain as one of rap's most greatest rappers. to the kid who wrote the review saying that eazy ain't no true gangsta, think before you put your bullsh*t down. eazy was one of the first rappers to create gangsta rap in '86 and he'll be more gangsta than you'll ever be (not that you are one coz i can tell you're not).

r.i.p. eazy "muthaf*ckin" e, eric wright.
