The Godfather of Gangster Rap. The kingpin of the N.W.A. However, you know Eazy E best, the fact is that you know him, and nobody did more than him to take rap into the mainstream during the 1980s and the 1990s. Who knows where the genre would be today if he hadn't been around to get the party started?
The success of the movie 'Straight Outta Compton' brought the story of E to a whole new audience, and won new legions of fans to his music, even though the legend has been dead for over twenty years. This tattoo pops with vibrancy and color, suggesting it's been done quite recently; perhaps it's on the skin of one of those brand-new fans? In any event, it's a fitting tribute to a man who paved the way for an entire generation.
