You got to realize Eazy repped and put Compton on the map. Plus he recruited a group known as N.W.A. and helped launch some rappers careers. Eazy may had a ghostwriter, but he was a damn good producer and had skill. I never see him get love. In my opinion, he's the James Brown of Gangsta Rap. I wanna know the IC's thoughts. Also, he was the founder of Ruthless Records. Even though that Jerry Helder dude screwed ? up in the end.
Man I wish Eazy was still with us. Next year it'll be 20 years he's been gone. I was a year old when he passed. Plus I wish I lived in that era.

? gonna always hate regardless fam. Eazy help put the westcoast on the map. That can't be disputed. -
Yes Eazy is and was the godfather of gangsta rap.
-
Eazy took it to another level but I'd probably give ice-T the nod. He went into the street ? 's conciousness before Eazy put NWA together, the government was scared of Cop killer before they was scared of ? da police. They was talkin about ice-T havin the mac in the backpack in 1986, and I think he was the first person to ever have the explicit lyrics sticker that's on every album now too. You gotta give that ? his due. Once straight outta Compton hit, it was a wrap though, NWA took it to another level, and Eazy put em together, but when you talkin about gangsta ? , I think Ice-T gotta be the answer(at least on the west coast) Schooly D was poppin back then too.

Easy is a legend, but he is not the "Godfather: of Gansta Rap. That moniker goes to Schoolly D. Ice T would get that before Eazy.
-
Yes he is. Ice didn't have the same approach to music az Eazy n them did.
You could argue about D but Eazy holds more and most definitely carried more weight than him.
Eazy-E waz on sum other ? . The ? before him and after him don't compare. -
you guys never heard of schooly d i guess. as far as west coast gangsta rap i'd put ice-t as godfather before eazy but even ice would probably cite schooly d as his primary influence back then.
the problem with schooly d was that a lot of his tracks he was just on some ? and you could tell he didn't really give a ? about selling records or anything like that. -
Standin on the corner straight slangin rocks
-
Ice t is the godfather of fangsta rap you cats need to learn your history
-
Gangsta
-
Google the godfather of gangsta rap and see who pops up.
That's been Eazy's title since the 90's. Ice might be the father or some ? . But Eazy's real title is the godfather. The same way MJ title was king of pop. Or T.I.'s was King of the south -
How can he be if he aint write his rhymes?he dope tho
-
you ? dont know rap.
eazy made it popular to the masses.

Easy E is The ? Father of Gangsta Rap, and was banging with those Crips for real.
Easy E is one of the greatest Visionary in hip hop and created one of the greatest label in hip hop with Ruthless records.
Easy E had the eye on the future He signed the Black Eyed Peas, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Kid Frost
He had NWA, The DOC, Above The Law, Michelle, JJ Fad, and Penthouse Players Clique that included DJ Quik, MC Ren, Kokane
Eazy Duz It Is a Hip Hop Classic
He had Dr. Dre, DJ Yella, Cold 187um, DJ Uneek, Rhythum D on the boards, all platinum producers
And He created The Greatest Hip hop group of all times -
Gotta Love the revisionist.
Schoolly D -PSK
Ice-T - Who in his own words said, "6 in the morning" was inspired by Schooly D's PSK.
I'd also mention Just-ice who's debut album(1986) had a song called "Gangster of Hip Hop. And was well known for toting a sawed off shotty and his work in the streets.
Let's not forget one of Hip Hops founding fathers Africka Bambaataa was a warlord of the Black Spades. When Bam founded the Zulu nation many of the members were former Gang Members.
All of this preceded Easy E's rap existence but I'll let yall revel in your Hip Hop fallacy. I'll stick to the True Historical facts.

eazy,ice t,& ice cube da kingz of dis gangsta ? ya know wat im sayin!
-
Nope, not the godfather of it. He did contribute.
-
No. Cube and Yella wrote ALL his rhymes on the first NWA album. I think that album was the birth of gangsta rap. So...
-
He's kinda of hard to evaluate. He wasn't the best rapper in his group or lyricist or beat maker. He was a gangster who made an investment in rap (Birdman, 50 Cent, Game, Suge) producing. Comparing him to James Brown is a far stretch.Eazy was good at what he did, but really dude brought a powerful group together and that's it. I can't name Rza as one of the best rappers ever just cause of Wu-Tang; can't call Eazy the Godfather cuz of NWA. I'd probably give that torch to Dre and Cube the same as Biggie is given more credit than Puff

Now you know we on the same page on this hip hop.
But this is not who's the Father of Gangsta Rap or ? rap, Just Ice was the first.
But just like James Brown is the Godfather of soul, Not the Father of soul.
Eazy E is the Godfather of Gangsta Rap, Eazy E brought the visual, slang, the stories of Gangsta Rap in what we know as Today.
Eazy E became the face, spread gangsta rap all across the world.
Much respect to Just Ice, Ice T, Schoolly D and all of them.
But Eazy E took it to another level, He is The Godfather of Gangsta Rap -
Who the fucc said cop killer came out before fucc the police?? As far as Ice t he got his first start on the east coast, E did it for the west strictly. ? always tryin to mix up a ? legacy
