Article · Français
Eazy-E, de son vrai nom Eric Lynn Wright, né le 7 septembre 1964 à Compton (Californie) et mort le 26 mars 1995 à Los Angeles, est un rappeur et producteur américain, membre et fondateur du groupe N.W.A (Niggaz Wit Attitudes). Il est considéré comme l'un des pères fondateurs du gangsta rap, ayant créé Ruthless Records, le premier label spécialisé dans ce genre musical. Né et élevé à Compton, en Californie, Wright a eu plusieurs problèmes juridiques avant de fonder Ruthless en 1987. Après une courte carrière solo avec une collaboration fréquente avec Ice Cube et Dr. Dre, ils se sont joints, formant N.W.A, plus tard cette année-là. Le premier album studio de N.W.A, Straight Outta Compton, est sorti en 1988. Controversé à sa sortie, il est maintenant classé parmi les albums les plus grands et les plus influents de tous les temps. Le groupe sort son troisième et dernier album studio, Niggaz4Life, en 1991, et peu de temps après, il se sépare. Pendant l’éclatement de N.W.A, en grande partie à cause de différends sur l’argent, Eazy-E s’est retrouvé mêlé à d’âpres rivalités avec d’autres membres du groupe, Ice Cube et Dr. Dre, qui étaient partis pour des carrières solo en 1989 et 1991, respectivement. Reprenant sa carrière solo, Eazy-E sort deux EP. Pourtant, il est resté plus important dans les coulisses, signant et lançant à l’échelle nationale le groupe de rap Bone Thugs-N-Harmony de 1993 à 1994. En 1995, Eazy-E a été soudainement hospitalisé et diagnostiqué avec le sida, et est décédé des suites de ses complications.
