Classic Album Review: Eazy-E | It’s On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa

The late N.W.A leader delivers a posthumous poison-pen letter to his ex-homeboy.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Who says dead men don’t tell tales?

Late rapper Eazy-E has plenty of dirt to dish on this EP, which serves as a 37-minute posthumous poison pen letter to former N.W.A. cohort Dr. Dre. The E spends most of these eight tracks dissing, defacing and even mock-executing his former partner in rhyme for his defection to rap rival Death Row Records. Frankly, even though it’s always a treat to get another hit from the original Dopeman, the one-track tone here turns into a bum trip after a while.
