July 10, 2007Wow what can I say about this album. This was the one of the first ones that really you couldn't listen to around your parents, along with Too Short and others. Every song is memorable. I give every song a 5/5. My favorites are Easier Said Than Done, Still Talkin, Nobody Move, and No More ?s. There are no love songs just straight street here. Everybody should know these songs by the beginning lines. Woke up quick at about noon just thought that I had to be compton soon, gotta get drunk before my day begin before my mama start bi++++n about my friends. Or My name is Eazy yeah this is true gettin your attention is what Im gonna do hardcore yo I can never be stopped askem if im def and they say the boy go's off. Or probably the most memorable, Easily I approach the microphone because I aint no joke tell yo mama to get off of my tip I have no time to give her my d**k. If you don't know these you aren't an old school hip hop fan. RIP Eazy, we miss u

I remember sneaking into my bedroom and listening to albums like this on my walkman because the lyrics were a little too blue for my moms taste. Even my dad didn't want me hearing this and he was the one that put me on to Redd Foxx. In hindsight, I'd have to say that this album was worth all the risk. But because an album was tight when you were in high school or college doesn't make it classic. I think a lot of people believe an album is classic simply because it's old. This album is definitely dope though. There ARE some classic joints to be found on this album. Tracks like "Boyz N The Hood (Remix)", "Eazy-er Said Than Dunn", "We Want Eazy", and "Eazy Duz It" are all classics that are still bangin' today and joints like "No More ?'s" and "Ruthless Villain" are tight as well.
There are a few suspect tracks that keep this album from achieving classic status. Tracks like "Still Talkin'", "Eazy-Chapter 8 Verse 10", and "Nobody Move" don't really go anywhere and come off as really forgettable while "I'ma Break It Down" is just plain boring.
Overall, the album is dope and is definitely worth owning. This disc falls short of classic, but the bangers on here make this album more than worth the money. If you're into old school or if you haven't heard these songs, then I reccomend picking this one up.
Standout Tracks: Radio, Boyz N The Hood (Remix), Ruthless Villain, We Want Eazy, Eazy Duz It, No More ?'s, and Eazy-er Said Than Dunn (My Favorite)

This is one of the best west coast rapper of all times no matter what anyone has to say about his flow,and even if he did'nt write the rhymes it's still one of the most popular albums of the late 80's. two thumbs up..... peace Eazy-e

Eazy-E has never been exceptional on the mic. He didn't even write his own lyrics, but there was just something about him you loved. Maybe it was his voice, or the way he delivered those lyrics. Whatever it was, it is on full effect Eazy-Duz-It. The album plays exactly like Straight Outta Compton, and if you like that, you're gaurenteed to like this. The production is the same kind of sound, and of course you get crazy hilarious lyrics from Eazy-E. One of the reasons the rap world misses him so much. R.I.P. Eric "Eazy-E" Wright
