      Eazy’s
      reputation
      as
      a
      hustler
      was
     
     
      well
      established
      by
      the
      time
      he
     
     
      dropped
      out
      of
      high

      80s
      focused
      it
      on

      and
      Eazy.
     
    

    
     
      As
      a
      businessman,
      Eazy
     
     
      continued
      his
      success
      with
      the
      crea-
     
     
      tion
      of
      his
      Ruthless
      record
      label.
     
     
      Among
      the
      groups
      signed
      were

      Michel’le
      and
      Bone
      Thugs

      This
      success
      only
     
    
   
   
    
     
      aided
      his
      charitable
      nature
      with
     
     
      donations
      for
      organizations
      such

      With
      his
      passing,
     
     
      the
      music
      industry
      not
      only
      loses
      one
     
     
      of
      it’s
      pioneers
      but
      also
      one
      of
      the
     
     
      most
      influential
      figures
      in
      rap
      his-

      His
      legacy
      is
      carried
      on,
      how-
     
     
      ever,
      not
      only
      in
      his
      past
      musical
     
     
      contributions
      but

      to
     
     
      capturing
      Eazy-e’s
      true
      essence
      but
     
     
      this
      is
      definatly
      some
      of
      his
      best
     
     
      stuff,
      and
      it’s
      all
      on
      one

      Even
      in
      death,
      Eazy-E’s
      suc-
     
     
      cess
      continues
      unimpeded
      and
      his
     
     
      legacy
      is
      assured
      to
      live
      on
