A hustler will always recognize another hustler!

Obviously not though .. or else eazy wouldn't have fell for this. He thought a kid was a big time journalist for the SF chronicle

[@TaeRokk11B]

That's exactly why they stayed in touch, cause he respected the fact he did that just to get an interview/ opportunity 💯. Easy was definitely a real one. 💯

No

Idk.. Bobby Shmurda taking more time so his friend gets less is about as gangster as it gets when their whole GS9 crew was getting basketball numbers!

[@Shine-wb6ll]

​@@metalmouth5581 why no ? Eazy E was a real OG in Compton. Everyone knew and respected him. He had an army of people from Compton backing him up for any issues. He was already making mad papers wildin' in Compton.

@@luiscarr5288he probably got it mistaken then, I searched it up the code was 213 but he probably just mixed it up. He did show proof of him actually interviewing Eazy and showed the magazine as well

[@bush5321]

Eazy respected the hustle and audacity of da youngster ..

[@NattyStateJake0911]

Eazy seemed like a humble dude

[@Four20Kevin]

He could be, he was smart af so he knew when it was time to be ruthless and go at a motherfucker but also knew when to be humble and every step between the 2. He was that 1 friend who you always wanted to have your back, while to others he was the last person they want to step to. Easy was a once in a lifetime talent, sucks to have lost him so young.

[@london6093]

[@Dj_SLuRRR317]

"Hello, is Eazy-E in??" Is crazy 😂

[@the_sorcerer]

I was told by a "famous" person that it doesn't matter about the reach or size it matters about the genuine love or interest in the artist you interview that got him and many others to do small channels, stations, papers, etc. And when they do it you see them thrive and do well because genuinely nice people thrive.

eazy-e and Bradley nowell are two people I'm sad I never met. they both seemed like awesome guys and It makes me sad that I wasn't alive when they were around. it's crazy how you can miss someone you never met

[@onbored9627]

Instead of being sad you missed out on meeting Eazy-e, try finding the next one. That's what he'd want.

This is the best story I’ve heard in a while. I’m in the Air Force and shit gets depressing at times and this made my day. I was 10 years old when nwa dropped straight out of Compton. The fact you dimed “Eazy does it” was fucking epic

[@MrHanma-if6pb]

Eazy Rolling up wit Dre old album cover pic is funny as hell

[@danmoar94]

The offhand line "he's also in a group called N.W.A..." Crazy how he talked to the dude just RIGHT before that group he was also in by the way but whatever would become one of the most important music groups to ever release music, and that the album he said would be out in a month would be the beginning of a movement that paved the way to the rap game we have today!

[@mach1mustangguy992]

So dope! From wat I heard easy was one cool dude. He would do stuff like that and wasn’t stingy with the $$ or share in the spotlight with other artists. We will never forget Easy E

[@ericjohn8466]

This is so awesome. Me and a friend kinda did the same back in the mid 90s but it was to the Detroit Lions front office and wound up getting the OC Dave Levy and then the HC Wayne Fontes. We spent the rest of the week going down to the school office calling all these different team offices trying to get through eventually to an actual player. We did get returns from the Red Wings, Pistons, Steelers, Admirals (Milwaukee IHL team) and a few others. There's a crazy story about Steve O meeting Motley Crue because he spent like 4 hours calling all the hotels trying to find em and he did.

[@sarsippy]

[@wesleywashington1251]

I remember listening to Eazy E thinking I'm getting some insight into how he thinks and being amused by his sense of humor. Turns out Ice Cube was writing all his lyrics. Eazy just had a dope voice.

[@L1am21]

Ice cube wrote like 6 times for eazy most of them being the really early stuff they later remixed for straight outta Compton they gave cube the boot for the d.o.c sick of cube getting all the credit.

Famous & Humble 2 words rarely associated when it comes to big stars but 2 words I hear associated with Eazy alot! Great story!

[@CesarGarcia-du5wd]

What you guys don't understand is, at that time NOTHING good came out of Compton. Until then nobody had any vision of getting out the hood. Once we saw someone could make it out, it gave the rest of us hope. It made us realize that we had value too. We weren't just doomed to kill ourselves there. We could make it out and not just live out our lives in the ghetto. It was really exciting to know there was a way out even if it wasn't music.

[@malecadam8182]

"What you guys don't understand.." is a terrible way to start any comment. Especially a cool one like this. You are so very right about everything else

[@brads0107able]

[@user-agreement-disengaged]

That was so dope of Eazy to do for that kid.

[@187btokes]

Reminds me when I was 15 I did a research paper that was 40% of our English final. It was in careers. Being that my dad ran an indie wrestling promotion, I was able to make a call, that lead me to another call, and higher and higher up I got until I had CM Punk's cell phone number. Luckily the wrestler who gave me his number prefaced Punk and reminded him that they both had met me several times when they were still up and coming wrestlers in the indie circuit. Because I was able to remind the other wrestler (Colt Cabana) about a few pictures they took with me at a show for ROH back in like 2004 or 05 (can't remember off top) they were more than happy to get interviewed. Once my teacher realized I had a literal interview with a world famous wrestler who was on TV one or two times a week EVERY WEEK, I instantly got a 100 (the paper was actually pretty good imo)

For rap at that time that was a better idea then if it was a big news company because his targeted audience was high school teenagers so that was like a direct plug to them so his record sales would go up.

[@juliusearly4460]

Eazy E and NWA used to do a comedic song called 'Extentions', sort of a knock off from a Run DMC song. Does anyone have that on video. I saw them perform that back at the Celebrity Theatre in PHX when the only music they had out was a cassette tape with 4 songs

[@lilmaxAlarcxn]

What a great story I really enjoyed this. Being fearless gets you through most doors getting to work gets you accepted turning your art into accolades gets you the keys to the world. Living at the peak turns you into a fool.
