Was eazy-e gay

Was Eazy-E most likely gay and on the down low?

It is odd that he’s the only (I think) famous person to die of it who wasn’t gay…

I think a long time ago there was a heterosexual California political figure who died of AIDS because of a blood transfusion.

Ok I forgot some . All those others mentioned though, they said how they got it, except I think Magic Johnson, and that’s a dubious situation all the way around. Eazy-E I don’t think how ever said how he thought he contacted it, but he did perish from it cute quickly, so maybe there wasn’t time.

If he was homosexual, and managed to keep it still throughout all the gossip and hooplah surrounding NWA with Ice Cube disappearing, then the remain of the organization eventually falling out, that’d be cute slick secret-keeping.

It’s certainly not your average summer blockbuster.

N.W.A. biopic “Straight Outta Compton” had the fifth largest August opening in history, and is expected to cross the $100 million notice this weekend. Unlike the average summer offerings, this is a film that’s got people thinking—and the hot takes are coming in fast.

There are two kinds of articles that are circulating widely right now, as is often the case for biographical films: (1) articles covering the reactions of those who were there at the making of the history the production retells, and (2) articles decrying the topics and people that the motion picture didn’t cover. Up to this gesture, the hottest of the hot takes have decried “Straight Outta Compton” as a revisionist history, primarily because it omits Dr. Dre’s disturbing history of violence against women includin

“He was ruthless in bed.”

“Alas, Eazy-E. One of the most respected rappers of the 1990s. Part of the homophobic band N.W.A, his death was ironically due to AIDS. And if you dare tell me he contracted it from a woman, you've clearly never listened to hip-hop before.”

Eric Lynn Wright, famous professionally as Eazy-E or Eazy E, was many things. A rapper, music producer, drug dealer. But most importantly, he was a pimp. Despite often referred to as the "Godfather of Gangsta Rap", he should arguably be referred to as the first closeted gay rapper.

A Look Back: Eazy-E’s Death and a 1995 Hip-Hop Concert for HIV Causes

When West Coast rapper Eazy-E died of AIDS-related causes in 1995, the shocking loss forced the hip-hop community to face the reality that HIV wasn’t just a gay pale man’s disease. The melody industry responded with a benefit concert at Madison Square Garden called Urban AID 4 Lifebeat. The five-hour show featured major hip-hop and R&B headliners—the Notorious B.I.G., Salt-N-Pepa, Faith Evans and more—and it educated concertgoers about safer sex and HIV. 

You can watch parts of the concert below and on YouTube:

As Black History Month comes to a close, Men’s Health interviewed Fred T. Jackson, a former Elektra Records manager who worked at the concert, about the groundbreaking 1995 event and his own experiences as a Black homosexual man working in the homophobic world of hip-hop.

“It wasn’t easy,” Jackson recalled to Men’s Health. “I felt I had to find a path. Many times I felt this [homophobia] wasn’t happening to anyone else but me, even though I knew it was happening to others and people were sort of walking through it in their retain way.&he
