DJ Yella Discusses Being the Only NWA Member at Eazy-E's Funeral

www.vladtv.com - DJ Yella recently spoke to VladTV about the last interaction he had with Eazy-E right before the legendary emcee succumbed to complications from AIDS.
The founding member of NWA told us he spoke with Eazy during an adult film he was shooting at the "Eazy-Duz-It" emcee's home. Yella then revealed that Eazy told him to "watch yourself" before it was announced that he had AIDS, which the producer later realized was the rapper's way of telling him about his illness.
After revealing his passion to do music died when Eazy passed away, Yella addressed being the only NWA member to attend his funeral. He explained that the members will never discuss why they didn't go to the funeral, but he guessed "some people probably just can't take it."
Check out more of what DJ Yella had to say in the above clip.

[@Kingnorm04]

To the people saying that they didn’t attend because they hated Eazy, MC Ren made a whole ALBUM dedicated to Eazy (Ruthless for life). Dr Dre had a verse tributing Eazy in “What’s The Difference” on the 2001 album, and visited his grave in the music video for “I need a doctor”. Also, Dre was serving an 8 month prison sentence at the time when Eazy’s funeral took place. Ice cube got the group back together to perform “Chin Check” as a tribute to Eazy for Next Friday’s soundtrack, and his song 'Growin Up' was a tribute to Eazy. I don’t think that they didn’t attend the funeral because they hated Eazy. Dre literally couldn’t attend and Eazy already reconciled with Cube before his death, plus they both visited him in the hospital during his last days. It’s more likely that they didn’t go because they couldn’t handle seeing E in that casket like that. R.I.P Eazy E

Eazy and Ren may have been the most gangsta, Cube might have been the most lyrical and Dre might have been the most musically gifted, but Yella was by far the realest man among them. He never took the disses to heart, stayed true to those around him and was the only member of NWA who truly remained loyal to Eric by finishing his last album for him and attending his funeral. I always liked Yella, but I've got a newfound respect for him. He really is a class act.

What I think about watching this, is how we rarely express our emotions in the hood. When Easy said "watch yourself" there was probably more he wanted to say but didn't. I recently went to a friends funeral and it was the same way. I thought many of the crew would show up but they didn't. The guy who passed was someone everyone knew and hung with, at some time. When I asked people why they didn't come, some said they didn't want to see him like that, but others brought up old petty shit as to why they didn't come.

@@timmoneilson5687 You guys are dumb as hell you really know nothing about who was around Eazy E and about ruthless. Stop pointing the finger at Suge if Suge done that he definitely wouldn't of said that on live TV like are you dumb? He definitely had something to do with Biggie's death but does he go on live TV and admit to it? No. Eazy had the Jewish Defence League around him doing security. Even though they were a legal organisation they were like a mafia at the same time. Mike Klien who was a member of the JDL who was head of security Eazy E promoted him to head of business affairs before he died because Mike Klien invested some money into Ruthless when Ruthless's money was low. So when he was promoted to head of business affairs he had 50% of the company so I think the JDL killed him to get control of ruthless. And Tomica and that lawyer who read out Eazy's statement were all involved in some part as well.

I loved the movie and saw it three times, but the more interviews I see, the more inaccurate and cloudy things are becoming. Some things aren't threading well anymore. O'Shea said in his _Behind the Music_ that the last time they saw each other was in New York and he wanted to picture Eric walking away and not in a casket. I wish they would've incorporated that into the movie. Good interview.

EASY E GOT SICK IN JAN AND DIED IN MARCH , IT SOUNDS FISHY

[@ExecutionStyleInc]

+Benny Blanco gotta remember though he only got Diagnosed in Jan, he had it before the diagnoses, that's why he went to the doctor in the first place, everyone talks about his girl not getting it, she probably didn't wanna sleep with him while he was sick. by the time he was diagnosed, he was already in the final stages of it, and in the 90s the majority of the drugs we have now didn't exist back then, and the ones that did normally worked on HIV or Early on in AIDS. Also you gotta remember it was originally called GRID and was considered just a gay disease, he had no reason to think he had contacted something so deadly.

+ExecutionStyleInc still aids takes awhile I had family member die from it ....long process even back then

did he take care of himself??? also no telling how long he had it, and remember everyone reacts differently. there is 2 people where they are naturally immune to HIV/AIDS (they are trying to utilized there blood for a cure)
