What Is Eazy by Kanye West? The Beautiful Story of a Tribute to a West Coast Rapper

Kanye West [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west] has always been an
icon of unparalleled creativity and innovation in the realm of music. The rapper
has consistently redefined contemporary music, pushing the limits of artistic
expression. From the ground-breaking production of ‘The College Dropout’ to the
genre-defying landscapes of ‘Yeezus’, fans have often found his music
thought-provoking. But only some would know about the beautiful story of the
tribute he gave to a West Coast rapper through his song.

Do you know what is Eazy by Kanye West?


KANYE WEST PAID TRIBUTE TO THIS SINGER IN HIS SONG EAZY 

In January 2022, Kanye West joined hands with his long-time collaborator, The
Game, to create a new single titled ‘Eazy’. They named the track after the late
West Coast rapper Eazy-E. It extensively used samples from his 1988 debut single
‘Eazy Duz It’, seemingly in honor of his memory. The chorus and outro of the
song featured vocal pieces from American R&B singer Michel’le.



She originally performed the sample in the intro of Eazy E’s 1988 track where
she sings: “He was once a thug from around the way, Eazy, but you should—”. The
late singer is often referred to as the “Godfather of Gangsta Rap”. Thus,
honoring his indelible contribution to the music industry, Ye and his partner
channeled their inner gangsta style. The song hit Spotify on January 15, 2022,
and two months later, the official music video for it came out.

Through this track, The Game also paid tribute to his mentor, Dr. Dre, who
produced ‘Eazy-Duz-It’. Whereas, the Yeezy founder took a dig at Pete Davidson

who was dating his ex-wife Kim Kardashian then. In the video, the singer was
seen sprinkling a bag of rose seeds over Pete’s head and watching the flowers
grow. Not did the song only receive the attention of fans, but also got the
approval of the famous rapper’s daughter, Ebie.


EAZY-E’S DAUGHTER EBIE GAVE TWO BIG THUMBS UP TO EAZY 

Ebie talked to TMZ after the release of the song that paid tribute to her dad.
She said that Kanye West’s diss track embedded her father’s street vibes and
spirit. This meant that the ‘Praise God’ singer and his collaborator lived up to
his legacy. In her opinion, this song was vicious, which made it the perfect
homage to her father and he would have loved to collaborate if he were still
alive.

Besides this, Edie also confessed her admiration for Ye and said that she has
always been a huge fan of him. For the unversed, Eazy-E passed away in 1995, but
his music continued to influence the musician. Likewise, his first solo song
inspired Kanye West to use his name and music style. However, the song attracted
controversy because of its depiction of West burying Pete Davidson alive.
