On this day, 7 September 1964, Eric Wright — better known as Eazy-E — was born. From the streets of Compton to the creation of Ruthless Records and the rise of N.W.A., he changed the face of hip-hop forever. Though his life ended too soon, his voice and vision still echo through the culture. Eazy-E will always be remembered as the Godfather of Gangsta Rap. #EazyE #NWA #Compton #HipHopHistory #ThugLifeReels | Thug Life Reels

One of Eazy-E's most well-known songs is "Boyz-n-the-Hood," which was released in 1987. The song was produced by Dr. Dre and written by Ice Cube, and it was the lead single for Eazy-E's debut album, "Eazy-Duz-It." "Boyz-n-the-Hood" tells a story about life in Compton, California, and highlights the struggles and realities of living in a gang-infested neighborhood. #EazyE #EazyDuzIt #NWA #DrDre #IceCube #Westside #hiphopclassic #hiphopmusic #hiphophistory #hiphopculture #90shiphop #HipHopLegends
