 He Was Once A Thug From Around The Way {4 Stars}
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 recommend picking this one up. Also, if you can't find 5150: Home 4 Tha Sick then getting this is probably the closest you'll come to getting it since it's out of print now.

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)

 Classic Eazy
Wow 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 September 7, 2006

 classic
but this is not the original album. i am only giving the original album classic status. it stopped at chapter 8 verse 10. all the songs after that are after eazy fell off and ice cube was no longer ghost writting for him. fat girl on my jock?? i think that was originally on the nwa and the posse album. keep it real.

 Perfect In Every Way
Eazy-E is my favorite rapper and i find him highly underrated. He was easily the best member in NWA and the hype surrounding his death should have been much bigger. He is a one-of-a kind rap genius with a sound unlike anybody else. This album is a masterpiece and is perfect in every way. The opening song Still Talkin' is hilarious and Eazy drops freestyles that sound like he isnt even trying. To hear some of his best verses of all time check out No More ?s which is my absolute favorite song done by him ever. The album flows together beautifully and even the bonus songs at the end are funny including Merry Muthaf***in' Xmas which is classic. Other classics include Ruthless Villian, 2 Hard Mutha's, Boyz-N-The Hood Remix, Eazy-Duz-It and We Want Eazy. There is no doubt in my mind that he should be a legend along with Pac and Biggie... he just left WAY before he could establish himself as big as them. also the feud with Dre and Death Row hurt his reputation greatly right before he died. Nonetheless he is amazing and Dre & MC Ren also add to this great cd. Do not hold out.. buy this ASAP April 15, 2006
