You may have a lot of bitches but I got much more “Eazy-Duz-It” has a humorously catchy beginning. A little preachy, but I got and appreciated the message. His implication was that good music is a better high. He was using a drug dealer metaphor while consistently discouraging the use of real drugs. Even at 13, I understood Ice’s play on words. “I’m Your Pusher” in a previous essay about Kanye, I was hyped off a Curtis Mayfield sample and with this song, I was even more hyped by another Mayfield sample. Nevertheless, I still believe this is the best song on the album. What I would later learn was that I was developing an appreciation for Ice Cube (before he was clubbin’). I did know that “Boyz-N-The-Hood” was the best display of lyrics on the album. “Boyz-N-The-Hood”: in ’88, I didn’t know what a ghostwriter was. That day in Professional’s Record Shop, I already knew who Ice T was. Was just to play records, what more could you ask?
#EAZY E EAZY DUZ IT RADIO COVER MOVIE#
I also knew Ice T from his cameo in the Breakin ‘ movie and could even recite: I heard Rhyme Pays and was familiar with “ 6 in the Mornin'”. I was not quite sure which of the jheri-curled dudes he was, but I did know who NWA was. I have the Dopeman album with all those cats bunched up in a corner in an alley so I approached Eazy-Duz-It with some familiarity. A pace-keeper almost blends with a previous release.Īfter tallying the scores, the album with the highest overall score is the one we probably should have purchased first. Game-Changer or Pace-Keeper: Do you remember where you were when you first heard …? that’s the sign of a game-changer.I could play Let the Rhythm Hit ‘Em aloud in my car but would keep my enjoyment of Dana Dane with Fame private because it did not age as well. How did it age / does it still sound fresh? Some albums, cassettes, or CDs in my music collection are best consumed with headphones while a few others are worthy of the window-down-radio-aloud treatment.Review of three songs that either charted highest or had a big buzz.Pre-release history: What did we know about these artists prior to the reviewed albums’ release?.We score these variables and objectively assign points between 0 – 2. If this is your first time joining us, do know that we employ some reflective variables that should help us choose whether Eazy-Duz-It or Power should have been our initial purchase. For today though, we are going to try to pretend that was not a factor in the choice. And most importantly, Darlene was (is) sho’nuff beautiful. Let’s acknowledge that many were moved by Ice T’s Power album cover. The dilemma I faced over thirty years ago is the focal point of today’s nostalgic essay – whose album should I purchase Eazy E or Ice T? September 13, 1988, a handful of days before my 14th birthday and while I had a few ends in my pocket, I only had enough money to make one purchase.
