Eazy-E

Hip hop
Hip hop

Eazy-E is a Hip hop act. Their sound grew out of Dr. Dre, Whodini, Ice-T, King Tee and Bootsy Collins. Those roots explain a lot about how Eazy-E arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as N.W.A, Ice Cube, MC Ren, Westside Connection and Snoop Dogg, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Compton's Most Wanted, Lil Eazy-E, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, will.i.am and Death Row Records, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 67 connections around Eazy-E, reaching back through Dr. Dre and forward to Compton's Most Wanted. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
