I don’t know whether it was because we were 20 years younger or because Eazy-E was about 5 feet tall and sounded like he was 3 feet tall, but the violence and misogyny just didn’t bother us then. It might bother you now, though.

If it doesn’t, you’ll be pleased to know that the latest CD version of Eazy-Duz-It also contains his 1992 EP 5150: Home For Tha Sick (mostly notable for the mind-blowingly amazing and filthy “Merry Muthafu**** Christmas”).

I guess maybe I do know the reason why Eazy-E has dropped from the public consciousness, but it just don’t seem right. Hip-hop needs more silliness.
