Article · Português
Eric Lynn Wright (Compton, 7 de setembro de 1964 — Los Angeles, 26 de março de 1995), conhecido profissionalmente como Eazy-E, foi um rapper americano que impulsionou o rap da costa oeste e o gangsta rap liderando o grupo N.W.A e sua gravadora, Ruthless Records. Ele é muitas vezes referido como o "Padrinho do Gangsta Rap". Nascido e criado em Compton, Califórnia, Wright teve vários problemas legais antes de fundar a Ruthless em 1987. Depois de uma curta carreira solo com colaboração frequente com Ice Cube e Dr. Dre, eles se juntaram, formando o N.W.A, no final daquele ano. O primeiro álbum de estúdio do N.W.A, Straight Outta Compton, foi lançado em 1988. Controverso após o lançamento, agora é classificado entre os maiores e mais influentes álbuns de todos os tempos. O grupo lançou seu terceiro e último álbum de estúdio, Niggaz4Life, em 1991, e logo depois se separou. Durante a divisão do N.W.A, em grande parte por disputas por dinheiro, Eazy-E se envolveu em amargas rivalidades com os membros do grupo Ice Cube e Dr. Dre, que partiram para carreiras solo em 1989 e 1991, respectivamente. Retomando sua carreira solo, Eazy-E lançou dois EPs. No entanto, ele permaneceu mais significativo nos bastidores, assinando e estreando nacionalmente o grupo de rap Bone Thugs-n-Harmony de 1993 a 1994. Em 1995, Eazy-E foi hospitalizado de repente e diagnosticado com Síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (AIDS) e morreu devido a suas complicações.
