NWA – We Want Eazy

It has been thirteen years since Eazy-E passed away due to AIDS at the age of 31. His death raised awareness in the Hip Hop community on the seriousness of AIDS virus. Check below for videos featuring Eazy-E & an excerpt from his last message to his fans.

Yeah, I was a brother on the streets of Compton doing a lot of things most people look down on, but it did pay off. Then, we started rapping about real stuff that shook up the LAPD and the F.B.I., but we got our message across big-time and everyone in America started paying attention to the boyz in the hood. Soon, our anger and hopes got everyone riled up.

“There were great rewards for me personally like fancy cars, gorgeous women and good livin’. Like real non-stop excitement. I’m not religious but wrong or right, that’s me. I’m not saying this because I’m looking for a soft cushion wherever I’m heading, I just feel that I’ve got thousands and thousands of young fans that have to learn about what’s real when it comes to AIDS. Like something good that will reach out to all my homeboys and their kin because I want to save their asses before it’s too late. I’m not looking to blame anyone except myself. I’ve learned in the last week that this thing is real and it doesn’t discriminate. It affects everyone.
