Sure there were a couple of people doing it before him but he made it a genre. He made it "acceptable" to rap about that stuff. Ruthless Records gave it a home.
There were a few quarterbacks that ran around before Randall but he brought it to a whole new level. Same kind of thing.
Edited - I'm no rap expert and I don't listen to much anymore but I was into it back then and always preferred west coast rap. Eazy was my favorite and I loved that he had no problem going after Dre and Snoop when nobody else would even think about doing something like that.Last edited by McCarthy12; 11-13-2015, 06:55 PM."Listen to McCarthy" - Art Vandelay

DQ- Grand Master Fag500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.

Thanks for the biography, Rob Van Winkle.
I didn't realize straight outta Compton was already on Amazon Prime.
We are talking about:
Best
Rappers
He's not even top 50 in a best rapper list.
Edit: he's top 50 but let's calm down on saying he was best rapper out of Dre cube and him. He's clearly the worst. That doesn't mean boys in the hood or 8 ball aren't great tracks.Last edited by Ellsworth; 11-13-2015, 07:56 PM.

Lol! I actually haven't seen the movie. Was it good? Alright maybe not top 10 rapper but you can argue top 10 or so most important.
Anyway, I guess I just have a soft spot for Eazy since we're both short dudes who are hard as fuck and cut our teeth selling rock."Listen to McCarthy" - Art Vandelay
