Eazy-E's "Eazy-Duz-It" Vs. N.W.A.'s "Efil4zaggin"

...

I meant on the track.

But you can have that on 100 Miles & Runnin' and save yourself a lot of clutter AND get 100 Miles & Runnin' and Sa Prize pt 2!

Eazy-Duz-It by a mile. The technique that Dre had developed by Efil doesn't outdo the cheap, inventive charm of the earlier record, and absolutely doesn't make up for the hatefully slack lyrics. Duz-It's offensiveness is playful and at worst only ignorant - the relentless desire to SHOCK YOU RIGHT IN THE FACE on Efil wears a listener down by the third or fourth track.

The number of musical changes and sample inserts for individual words just in the song Eazy-Duz-It bring joy to the ear, not to mention the glorious intro of:

Well I'm Eazy-E, I got bitches galore
You might have a lot of bitches but I got much more
With my super-duper group coming out the chute
Eazy-E, motherfuckers, cold knockin' the boots

And Duz-It has the extended new intro version of Boyz-N-The-Hood. Efil doesn't. C'mon.

I refuse to to believe that.

I think Kit's right on though....Efil3zaggin has a brute, nihilistic sort of power and polish that's easy to admire and hard to like for me....as great an album as it is, I don't ever want to listen to it....Eazy E felt like a new world opening up, exciting and brash and a little corny and naive sounding, but genuine and infectious, even as assholish as Eazy can be, there's a certain breezy charm to the whole thing.....Efil4zaggin, while featuring some really great production, feels grim and determined and sort of dead in its perfection....

Could never listen to either of these mostly because Ice Cube's solo stuff destroys it all.

I could never listen to Ice Cube because he's such a self-important douchebag. He needs a good punch in the face.

Ice Cube's said it best in "No Vaseline", "Yo Dre, stick to producin'."

MUST...FIND...IRONY...

LOLZ!!!!

ice cube, what? he went nowhere. i bought, and listened a lot, to his first solo album, going from being excited to not liking it very much.
i've seen him a couple of times in more recent years being really, really tired in videos on mtv etc. bah!

back on topic, at the time i liked ez-duz-it more, but in hindsight evil4zagggon holds the best tracks. e is my favorite rapper of the pack, he always managed to crack me up with that shit. but mc ren on the other hand, could be a bit dull sometimes on eazy e's album.

i really liked the breakbeat thing that they had going on. to me it was not that different from 'ardcore, it happened around the same time. we actually used the word hardcore when referring to this kind of rapmusic.

waht indeed - first four albums are undisputed masterpieces

also dre was/is a great rapper!

i agree. frankly, i'd prefer to listen to dre rapping over ice cube any day of the week. at least dre comes off as honest, where ice cube sounds like he is constantly trying to reinforce his image of being a hardened badass from the hood. ice cube can suck a slimy one.

love "2 hard muthas"! can't beat the flow, plus it contains the classic ren line "now look at me, i'm a crazed bitch".

I look you dead in the eye and I spit (yeaah)
tell you to your face punk you ain't shit

such great trash talk. efil4zaggin sounds forced by comparison.

Eazy-Duz-It is sooooo much better. NWA w/out Ice Cube = me asleep

little did he know i had a loaded 12 gauge
1 sucka dead l.a. times front page

i mean on tracks like appetite for destruction, 100 miles and running, approach to danger is horror in the house. also other dr. dre productions at the time, murder rap, whirlwind pyramid. and of course straight outta compton in the first place. did i forget any?

there are lots and lots more of other hardcore hiphop productions from this time that influenced the rave sound, or vice versa, i think it would be interesting to see what you lot can come up with.

didn't Cube write "Boyz In tha Hood"? anyhow, deej and ethan otm

& on the TS I'll take Eazy-Duz-It but the better comparison here would be It's On Dr. Dre 187um Killa

xp

these two albums are from diff periods (nwa and the posse or SOC and eazy duz it would be closer) but i vote eazy duz it. i loved eazy e (before he went rubbish).

eazy duz it doin' easy
that's what i'm doin'
