Talk:Eazy-E/Archive 1

message: I removed the link to a picture after the sentence about Eazy-E in drag. I don't know what Eazy-E looks like, but that guy in the picture is clearly not in drag, so it can't be the right picture.  — JIP | Talk 10:10, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Is Eric Wright in any way related to Charles Wright, who authored the song "Express Yourself" (1970, with the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band) which was sampled for the eponymous track on N. W. A.'s first album?  Just curious! --Maikel 10:30, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

message: The intro for "Sorry, Louie" sounds like an movie sample from an old film noir or something... Is tahat so, or does Eric just sound like that when he refrains from rapping... 85.226.122.222 01:58, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

message: : Eazy-E fathered nine children by seven different women.
After paging through the article history, this statistic changes on a near daily basis from anywhere between 5 and 9.  Can someone please cite an appropriate source for this information?  Can't sleep, clown will eat me 05:17, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: How many children did Eazy-E father?

message: Death certificate says he was born in 1963 but his birth certificate says he was born in 1964. Birth certificate is contemporaneous so more reliable. Questors 23:54, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems odd that his family would say he was born in 1963 on his tombstone if his birth certificate said 1964...but yeaj, you're right. Birth cert says 1964.--Fallout boy 06:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Year of Birth

message: In this edit, a bunch of stuff was dropped (apparently it's "crap"), and while it is less important stuff, and could have been shortened, I think it would be good to leave some of it in.  The edit was pretty big, and there is stuff in the middle that seems fine to me (not that I would know) but at the beginning and end, I have two issues I'd like to discuss.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eazy-E&diff=prev&oldid=32455350
1) the bit about misogyny.  I don't know if Eazy E was a misogynist, but the lack of respect and emotional connection to sexual partners was in his lyrics specifically and repeatedly; saying "His" lack of respect points at the author, not the rap, so that could be changed if people think it's more accurate.  It could be said that needing to highlight this is POV, but the lyrics seemed to feel the need to make a position clear ("you think I give a fuck about a bitch? I ain't a sucker"; "I'm a brother that would smother your mother, and make your sister think I love her").  Just "abundant sexual activity" doesn't really cover the style evocated in Eazy-E's work.  "Misogyny" is a loaded word and could be left out, so long as the point is made.  Perhaps it would be better to point out that the lyrics express not caring about anyone, but a special point is made about women, whereas not caring about other guys on the street is sort of implicit in the other lyrics.
2) I think a lot of the fame that Eazy E has now was achieved after his death, as other famous projects put a spotlight on him.  That GTA game was very big and got a lot of people looking back on Eazy E, and I know a lot of people who wouldn't really remember him if they hadn't started talking and reflecting when the Dynamite Hack song came out.

thread_title: so-called crap

message: I went ahead and revised some of the grammar and reworded a few things. The content is more or less unchanged. I also tried to make some sense of that transcribed audio quote and introduce some punctuation. The article still needs someone to rectify some of the conflict between this page and the NWA page (i.e., did Eazy die in Compton or Los Angeles? Did he believe he had bronchitis or strep throat? How many kids by how many women? (His official/fansite? says seven by six)). Also, can we get a source on that sales figure for Eternal E - Gangsta Memorial Edition? 9 million sounds a bit high.

message: License2Kill's edits on 2006-06-17 revert to License2Kill's last edit on 2006-06-12.  I've reverted License2Kill's edits because the last version before the revert seems preferable to me. License2Kill hasn't explained the revert, but License2Kill may have reasonable objections to the current version. I don't intend my revert to be taken as indicating that I think every one of his changes yesterday is bad, only that together they they make the article worse. Tim Ivorson 2006-06-18
It's no problem, I reverted it because it just made it easier with the HTML. License2Kill 03:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: One of the things I have added was the new tribute alubm coming out, In Loving Memory (Eazy-E tribute album) We should add more on that, could we possible send a message to the person running the Myspace? —Preceding unsigned comment added by License2Kill (talk • contribs) 2006-06-22
Also how do we get the cover picture on Wikipedia? License2Kill 19:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello License2Kill. The image was probably deleted because it didn't have the information needed to check its copyright status. The important thing is that it isn't there anymore, so there's no point including it in the article. Tim Ivorson 2006-07-25
