The album charted on two different charts and went 2Г— Platinum in the United States despite very little promotion by radio and television. It was released on November 23, 1988, by Ruthless Records and Priority Records.

is classic on so many levelsвЂ¦вЂ¦.Eazy-Duz-It is the debut studio album by American rapper Eazy-E. And if itвЂ™s anybody out there who knows who they are dissing please let me know!! This mini E.P. (there was a remix on the вЂњStraight Outta ComptonвЂќ album without the diss) because Cube was studying to be an architect. To me, Dre and Ren couldвЂ™ve been a group because they played off each otherвЂ™s flow perfect вЂ“ they were the west coastвЂ™s answer to EPMD (they even jacked EPMDвЂ™s вЂњYouвЂ™re a CustomerвЂќ to rap over), but this song was also pre-N.W.A. Shit!! so far, so good вЂ“ I flipped the tape over to listen to the radio friendly joint called вЂњRadio.' It starts off like if you were tuning the radio dial to get to your favorite station (which was never done before in hip hop production) which I should say on the west coast was KDAY(or KEAZYE.) Greg Mack starts the song which is a homage to all the disc jockeyвЂ™s playing EazyвЂ™s music, and they even have the check вЂ“ in callers! (Dre was a genius at skits also and he knew the importance of the disc jockey and how they broke the new shit first!) I can play rockвЂ¦.but I prefer Hip Hop!!! Now the gem on this tape to me is the last song вЂќComptonвЂ™s In The HouseвЂќ (100% Diss Dedicated to The Wacky Wack Crew) which Eazy E once again plays the back and this time Dr. Ren!! Dre drops a hard beatbreak and Ren goes in, not bragging about himself but about his homeboy Eazy, dropping line after dope classic line while Eazy joins in about how gangster he is on the hook. Next up was вЂњRuthless VillianвЂќ which introduced the world to one of my favorite m.c.вЂ™s вЂ“ M.C. Dre took a piece of The Bomb SquadвЂ™s production and he being a dj, also adding live instrumentation (shout out to Stan The Guitar Man) and killed it!!! First time to me, hip hop production was about the audio engineering as well. A day in the life of a gangbanger on wax, like the earlier вЂњSix in the morningвЂќ by Ice T and вЂњP.S.K.вЂќ by Schoolly D, but the production was stellar. A funky interpolation of The Temptations вЂњBall Of ConfusionвЂќ soon follows. I picked up the Eazy E joint and I notice that there was an extra song that was not on the vinyl so that was a bonus for me! Came home and popped side A of the tape in my WalkmanвЂ¦A female voice comes on вЂњHe was once a thug from around the way вЂ“ EazyвЂќ! And then you hear Eazy interrupt and kick a then unkown MichelleвЂ™ out the vocal booth and command Dr. I stroll into the legendary Peaches record store and go straight to the cassettes.

He had saw the record at The Wiz, I told him to go buy it asap! Summer rolls around and just like all things hip hop at that time, music drops with no promo. Anyway, listening to the radio вЂ“ I heard a screeching synth line that I never heard before followed by a menacing voice(OвЂ™Shea Jackson aka Ice Cube) speaking on the perils of the dope game, which I knew about well (ThatвЂ™s another story) but what was crazy about the song was the last guy to rap. I know about is National Wrestling AllianceвЂќ bein smartвЂ¦ He said I had to peep them because they were hard as hell! вЂњYeah RightвЂќ I replied, because nothing could touch Public Enemy. Criminal asked if I had heard of a group called N.W.A. , they got more hip hop than D.C., major but more so independent! My folks D.J. I thought I was a bad azz by mentioning Boogie Down Productions вЂњCriminal MindedвЂќ to the crew but they shot me down and one upвЂ™ed me by telling me about вЂњBy Any Means NeccesaryвЂќ album which I hadnвЂ™t even heard about!! It dawned on me that down in the N.O. We would asked each other about different hip hop groups had we heard of, as well as albums that were out at the time. While I got adjusted to the new surroundings and friends вЂ“ the music, especially hip hop was different. I had just moved to New Orleans at the beginning of 88 to stay with pops (moms couldnвЂ™t handle me!!) from D.C. This was the first single released off the album of the same name. back at cha on a special day for my man Eazy-E! Today is a treat for me, Ill be speaking on a cas-single(cassette single) from Eazy E called вЂњEazy Duz ItвЂќ.
