On March 26, 1995, Eazy-E — the provocative rapper who helped pioneer gangsta rap and amplify the voice of South Central Los Angeles — died at the age of 31. As a founding member of N.W.A., Eazy’s raw delivery and unapologetic lyrics on tracks like Boyz-n-the-Hood and F** tha Police* ignited a cultural revolution, putting the realities of inner-city life on the national stage. His solo career and role as a music executive further cemented his place in hip-hop history, even as feuds and controversies swirled around him. Diagnosed with AIDS just weeks before his death, Eazy’s final days brought a shocking reminder of the epidemic’s reach. Still, his legacy lives on—in music, fashion, and the rebellious spirit of rap—and he remains a towering figure in the story of West Coast hip-hop.

Hosts: Jason Beckerman & Derek Kaufman
