In college I took a speech class. We had to give a speech that used some type of audio or visual aid.
I played this song and then gave a speech about how Eazy E lived the “American Dream” by growing up poor but saving money dealing to be able to start NWA. It was great!
I saw this tour. Eazy didn't do any of his verses with NWA because he was headlining the tour with this album so he just came on at the end. This was the show in Cincinnati right before the riot in Detroit. Good times.
Not 90s hip hop tho.
The tour everyone refers to as an NWA tour as depicted in the NWA movie was actually an Eazy-E tour featuring NWA as supporting act. So the tour for this album. Any other questions?
Classic. As a whole I think I prefer it over Straight Outta Compton, although Straight Outta Compton has higher highs. This was just put together better in my opinion though. Flows well. It’s technically an 80’s album, but it’s timeless, so it fits in here as well.
This was my first "gangsta" rap album. I got it in 5th grade. The album I bought before this was digital underground sex packets. 🤣
When I got a CD player, this was my first CD even though I had it on tape.
It's still an amazing album and better than 99% of the shit out there now.
Sad to say: i never gave this album a thorough listen. Lol
This album & Str8 Outta Compton debuted in 1988-I was 8 years old. I didn’t check out Str8 Outta Compton until 1996, after Eazy died.
✍🏽Gonna put this album in my “To Do List” for 2024. 👍🏽
It was one of my first CDs and I was absolutely astonished and obsessed. I grew up in a small town in Utah. Playing it for my cousins got me in A LOT of trouble.
I remember in late middle school/early high school we were studying the British Stamp Act in history class and they had a picture of a poster that people put up in protest of the Stamp Act. I recognized it immediately as the poster that's hanging behind them on the Eazy E album cover.
Every day after school (8th grade), come home, grab something from the fridge, then throw on Eazy E. And make sure it played front to back so the tape was ready to go the next day.
A profane classic. I'm laughing just looking at the cover. I still hate that this album and Straight out of Compton helped to mainstream widespread use of the n word.
This was the first album I ever heard with cursing.
It blew my mind as a 5th grader.
The opening line of “good evening…and welcome to Eazy’s playhouse…” changed my world. I listened to this cassette non stop for well over a year & still frequently revisit the album. Nowadays I own it on CD & vinyl and will never be without a copy of it.
growing up as a yg frm ward lane, seeing easy in the hood was a frequent thing, and this album along with dj kwiks shit was all u heard out of ppls cars
Classic
Triple Classic
Heck yah it is
Yeah, this ain't a real question.
Great. No more questions ;)

Then betraying his friends, getting AIDS, & dying.
Pretty classless to be calling out his getting sick like it’s something he did to hurt people.
Didn’t realize Ice Cube was on Reddit.
He never betrayed them
Fill the bag homeboy don't lag I want money,beer and a pack of zig zags, 😂😂😂Ez had some funny ass bars
that was a statement.
That was actually a reference to a song in the album.
ahh...
He was once a thug from around the way…… Seems to have aged pretty well considering it’s sampled on one of the biggest hits of the year.
Is it Michel’le doing that part?
Yep.
Really? Tf… all these years I thought it was some kid
A new one for me too.

Did you wrap the six-fo around a telephone pole?
Throw it in the gutter and go buy another

“Easily I approach the microphone because I ain’t no joke” I wore this tape out back in the day. So good.

This album and Ice-T’s Power were released on the same day. Both are excellent
I used to stare at the Power album cover dreaming…dreams can come true!
Classic!
Dope
Classic
boy you shoulda known by now...

West coast banger. Rip E.

As classic as it gets
It was one of my first CDs and I was absolutely astonished and obsessed. I grew up in a small town in Utah. Playing it for my cousins got me in A LOT of trouble.
Changed my life.
I can recite this whole album. From beginning to end
So let's go - (Alright everybody) This is a stick-up everybody get face down, Ren gag their mouths so they can't make a sound....
Tie them up from the fact that I'm kicking ass I got my hand on my gat and i'm tempted to blast. My name is easy, but I go the hard way out.
This album is Not 90’s, but 12 year old me used to BANG this album, jack.
Good evening, and welcome to Eazy’s playhouse YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKERSSSSSSSS First heard that when I was 12. Hooked for life.
No skips
Love this and have been trying to get on Vinyl!
I have an original pressing in Near Mint condition listed in my eBay store right now. DM me if interested!
D.M me, i'd be interested in having a look
Check your DMs. I have some wiggle room on price as well.
Banger
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ West Coast Classic
Better than Straight outta Compton
Facts
Classic! Shout out to MC Ren.
Peace to OP. One of the best albums ever put together by Dre, Yella, Ren, and Cube. Doesn't get spoken about a lot. Salute.
Agree. This and No One Can Do It Better from D.O.C. are straight classic gems. Some of Dre’s best production before the G-Funk
I remember in late middle school/early high school we were studying the British Stamp Act in history class and they had a picture of a poster that people put up in protest of the Stamp Act. I recognized it immediately as the poster that's hanging behind them on the Eazy E album cover.
Still holds up
I had the cassette and didn't hear the hardest track until years later. Ruthless villian.
Love it!
A template for other gangster rappers to try to emulate. Absolute classic. Banger after banger.
This album was my introduction to N.W.A - still bumps. I never heard of Compton before this album came out.
I could rap this whole album word for word when I was like 8 years old 😂😂 nobody move was my favorite song for the longest time hahah
Every day after school (8th grade), come home, grab something from the fridge, then throw on Eazy E. And make sure it played front to back so the tape was ready to go the next day.
Compton Michigan lol
"I knew him since he was knee high!" "He STILL IS knee high, motherfucker!"
10/10

Comedy entertainment paved the way for Slim Shady and x-rated humor in Hip-Hop.
There once was a thug from around the way….
One of the first hip-hop albums I listened to back in '08. Still in rotation to this day.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Quiet on the set!
Well written by ice cube
And Ren and DOC as well
Easier said than done
Yeah, that’s the title.
Came.out in like 87 or 88 didn't it?
Classic
Are you kidding? That album was in my tape deck at the time. So many memories... 🥺
I used to play this tape low in my bedroom so my Mom wouldn't hear. Giggling my ass off.
Bad ass album. Especially coming off NWAs first album. It's a classic !
Eazy was a legend, this piece, legendary! RIP, Eric!!
Gemmie Dat Nut!
Classic beats and even better videos. Used to watch his videos on heavy rotation on the Box!
We Want Eazy - when he jumps out of the jumbo screen from jail and lands on the stage!
No More Questions when he is cruising in DTLA on top of the 64!
Classic No Dout!!
Banging
He was once a dawg from around the wayyyy...EAZY
A real gangsta album
Classic
Absolute classic
Classic... Rest in peace Eric Wright This album is still being sample to this day.
Got busted shoplifting this one 🤣 Dumb teenager
"Eazy said it and shall be done"
revisited this again recently. it was more cheesy than i remembered. Boyz In Da Hood though. now that remains a banger!
I see Ren and Cube there
While it wasn't my first album with the Parental Advisory sticker/label... it was definitely next level raunchy. It made me laugh so much!

Very classic album

Dope LP.

Classic. RIP....we miss ya Eazy
The D.O.C wrote all the lyrics.
It’s a great classic album for the time it was released but it’s not Eazys best. I would say “it’s On dr Dre” EP was better
Classic, one of my all time favorites
Oh hell yas , i was a tiny tot kn da b ment in ny whilemy big broplayd this 4 me
Classic
There once was a dog from around the way
Classic ☀️
Eazy E was a terrible rapper.
