Prodcut Description: [More Information ...] Eazy-E, the gangsta rap pioneer who died of AIDS complications in 1995, led a life of mixed intentions and results. As head of both N.W.A. and Ruthless Records, he did as much as anyone to bring South Central Los Angeles' problems to national attention, though his music also helped glorify a life of violence, misogyny, and criminality that became a caricature of his neighborhood. Str8 Off Tha Streetz posthumously releases music from the rapper's final years. Far from being a haunting voice from the grave, the record makes no mention of Eazy's disease--the only deaths here come by way of gun or baseball bat. On the other hand, the album also contains Eazy's spoken defense of gangsta rap ("We're underground reporters...") and some of his best songs. In particular, two tracks co-written and produced by Naughty By Nature ("Nutz on Ya Chin" and "Hit the Hooker") contain memorable hooks and impeccable mixing. --Roni Sarig

Reviews:
Eazy E's final hurrah Its undeniable that Eazy E put gangsta rap and Compton on the map. Even though this album falls short of Eazy Duz It, its his next best album. Eazy starts off the album with Ole School S*** a continuation of his lyrical assault on Dr Dre and Deathrow. BG Knockout, Gangsta Dresta and Sylk(Sylk E Fyne in her early days)join in on Ole School S*** as they diss the pants off Dre and Snoop. Sorry Louie(the intro to this song still cracks me and my homeboy up to this day) is Eazy E telling different stories of how he bashed peoples'heads in with his Louieville Slugger. Just Tah Let U Know is definetly a highlight track and Creep N Crawl is Eazy E at his grittiest best. Mc Ren joins Eazy E on the mellow but funky The Mutha*****n Real. The only songs that are skip material would be Hit The Hooker(which sounds out of place on this album) and Wut Would You Do as a diss record falls short of the classic Real Mother*****n Gs. Lyrically it wasnt bad but the techno beat makes it hard to be taken serious. Plus the L****n S****n and F****n interlude will make you puke more times then Jamie Foxx did in Any Given Sunday. Bottom Line: Eazy E's last album is a must have for any gangsta rap fan. Eazy E never dissapointed me with any of his albums and he never stooped to making lovey dovey pop records like most of these rappers do now. Standout tracks:OLE SCHOOL S***, SORRY LOUIE, JUST TAH LET U KNOW, SIPPIN ON A 40, THA MUTHA*****N REAL, MY BABY'Z MAMA, CREEP N CRAWL and GANGSTA BEAT 4 THA STREET. REST IN PEACE ERIC"EAZY E" WRIGHT! Eazy Does it again If you like 2 hear some platnum sh.. talking you need to listen to this, Creep N Crawl is my favorite because he used Snoops voice with his own permission but besides that this is a nitetime lets get that ni..a album and a dont get caught slippin album get this I love it!!!!!!! Awsome Album This album is one of the greatest gangster rap albums of all time. I loved the Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg disses!Everything about this album was sick,the guest appearences were sick,the beats were sick and of course Eazy delivers amazing tracks (no suprise there). I think that my favourite songs off the album would be, "Ole school sh**","Just tah let you know","Creep n Crawl",and "Wut would you do". The only songs I didn't enjoy were "Hit the hooker" and that skit with him and the girl. The only way this album would be better is if it got turned into a double album as planned. RIP EAZY. Another solid album from the Godfather of Gansta Rap -- RIP Eazy E died before it was finished but what he did compile before he died made enough songs for another solid album. Guests are on about half of the 11 songs and are his usual guest w/ 2 female rappers on here as well. The songs are about his usual stuff, p*s*y, Drugs, guns, murder and drinking 40's. Production is pretty good, Yella does 5 songs, Naught by NAture & Boibcat each do 2, and Stone & Tony G each do 1. Out of the 11, 1 I skip, 1 is ok, and the other 9 are good songs. A good CD to have for his fans and fans of real GANGSTA rap.

check all my reviews Godfather of Gangsta Rap Let's face it some of us love Eazy and some of us dispise him.
I think he definetely was'nt afraid to speak his mind, and the words that came across to his fans were sincere even at times halarious. The man was a real brother from Compton who basically introduced gangsta rap to America. This is one of his best albums if you ask me, and that song that goes Wut would u do, Wut would u do if we rolled on you! Man ! I think Eazy definetely won the battle he had wit Dre, because he came with real Compton City G'z after Dre Day. And yes Eazy E was sleezy so everyone cited with Death Row, but (wake up) Gangstaz are supposed to be "fool". Also Dre went to see Eazy-E right before he died I heard, now do you still hate him ? |
