This is a stone cold classic and you can't convince me otherwise. Really good pressing too. Highly recommend. -
Lame review from ericblowtorch. Eazy E is a legend and this LP is top notch no matter which side your listening to.
Much love to Eazy E! -
Radio Side:
No cursin' on the first three ts. Ren opens the album over a funky guitar-driven track, & Eazy rhymes, with Ice Cube as his hype man. It's pretty surreal-sounding, considering the relative rhyming skills of all involved, especially considering the whole story. 'Eazy-er Said Than Dunn' is one of the dopest tracks here, an uptempo Meters recut on which the rhythmically challenged young Eric is the only possible weak spot. 'Radio,' with intro from Ren and Greg Mack, is kind of a lame replay of Taana Gardner's 'Heartbeat.'
'No More ?'s' begins the cursin' section of the album with just a few naughty bits over a fast guitar- 'n' tambourine-driven funk track. 'I'mma Break It Down,' a faster Marley Marl-styled Afro-funk track, is probably the best track on the album. 'Eazy Chapter 8 Version 10' is fast, sparse, and funky. And weird as hell: it sounds like it contains the same sample as the previous track!
Street Side:
'Still Talkin',' a 4/4 guitar strut, amps up the cursin', and the malevolence is still creepy. Ice Cube returns as hype man, and Eric extols the virtues of woman-beating. I don't know who found this shit funny back when it came out, and I shudder to think who I know finds it funny now. 'Nobody Move,' replete with Yellowman sample, is a guitar funk trans-bashing story rhyme, featuring Ren, that is absolutely blood-curdling in its similitude to actual events, particularly here in Milwaukee. '2 Hard Mutha's' also features Ren over Yella drums and Dre cuts. It's a close second for best song on the album. 'Boyz-n-the-Hood,' one of the most overrated pieces of wannabeastie b.s. in hip-hop history, is so cheesy, un-hard, and musically sluggish that no amount of remixing could really make it tolerable to the human ear. Michelle gives you the intro to 'Eazy-Duz-It,' a pathetic way to end the album, with already played out 'Dance to the Music' and 'Fight for Your Right' samples, and Detroit Emeralds guitar hook replay.
At the time this was hailed as a harrowing exploration of the existential/criminal mind, a great leap forward into street reportage. Listen to it now and take a truly depressing trip into the bloated egos of spoiled teenagers.
