On this day thirteen years ago, the godfather of gangsta rap, Eric “Eazy-E” Wright, was sent to a better place.
While his career seems so far in the past at this point, his legacy remains stronger than ever. Through the artists he’s groomed, inspired and birthed, his menacing grill, black Compton hat and limo-tinted Locs will stay in the public eye for years to come. For better or worse, who knows where rap would be at today without this man.
Rest In Peace.

“Woke up quick, at about noon, just thought that I had to be in Compton soon.”
Illness and death
In March 1995, Eazy-E was admitted into Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with what he believed to be acute bronchitis. Following comprehensive tests, it was discovered that he was suffering from AIDS. He spoke out time and time again that he was not homosexual and that the disease affects everyone, either straight or gay. The illness was found to be in an advanced stage, and his condition deteriorated rapidly. During the week of March 20, already having made amends with Dr. Dre and Ice Cube[3], Eazy-E drafted what would be his last message to his fans:
” …”I may not seem like a guy that you’d pick to preach a sermon, but I feel it’s now time to ‘testify’ because I do have folks that care about me hearing all kinds of stories about what’s up.
“Yeah, I was a brother on the streets of Compton doing a lot of things most people look down on, but it did pay off. Then, we started rapping about real stuff that shook up the LAPD and the F.B.I., but we got our message across big-time and everyone in America started paying attention to the boyz in the hood. Soon, our anger and hopes got everyone riled up.
“There were great rewards for me personally like fancy cars, gorgeous women and good livin’. Like real non-stop excitement. I’m not religious but wrong or right, that’s me. I’m not saying this because I’m looking for a soft cushion wherever I’m heading, I just feel that I’ve got thousands and thousands of young fans that have to learn about what’s real when it comes to AIDS. Like something good that will reach out to all my homeboys and their kin because I want to save their asses before it’s too late. I’m not looking to blame anyone except myself. I’ve learned in the last week that this thing is real and it doesn’t discriminate. It affects everyone.
“My girl, Tomika, and I have been together for four years, and we recently got married. She’s good, she’s kind and a wonderful mother. We have a little boy who’s a year old. Before Tomika, I had other women. I have seven children by six different mothers. Maybe success was too good to me. I love all my kids. And I always took care of them.
“Now, I’m in the biggest fight of my life and it ain’t easy. But I want to say much love to those who have been down with me and thanks for all your support.” .
”

don’t know if this has already been posted, but it looks like the la times story about diddy being involved in pacs shooting was a load of shit:
[news.bbc.co.uk]
“The bottom line is that the documents we relied on should not have been used,” said editor Russ Stanton.
Combs has already called the report “completely untrue” and “a lie”. Writer Chuck Philips said he “got duped”.
