Nine months after Eazy-E's death due to AIDS, Priority releases the first compilation of the Compton rapper. The product features fourteen tracks for an hour of listening circa, and consists of the skeleton of his debut solo album with the addition of some tracks from his first EP and some solo cuts from his efforts with NWA. The best cuts come, of course, from his debut ("Eazy-Duz-It", "We Want Eazy", "Boyz-N-The-Hood (Remix)", "Nobody Move", "No More ?'s", "Radio"), as well as "8 Ball", from the pioneering "NWA and the Posse". The remaining songs, taken from the group's last album and his '92 solo EP, are not his best material and you can hear it, although some songs still have the fresh production of Dre and DJ Yella. The disc is distributed by Priority, which does not want to pay for the tracks from Eazy-E '93 EP, so, some gems like his hit "Real Muthaphucckin G's" are not included in this tape (later included in the 2003 reissue). In the end, with or without Dresta & BG Knocc Out, the compilation is not essential. 6.5/10.
