This album is a gansta rap masterpiece from start to finish. And it's still underground; Eazy never got the respect he deserved, and this album is no exception. No doubt the long, somewhat idiosyncratic title had something to do with that, but I assure you that every track on this disc is money. Eazy-E, as everybody knows, was slammed pretty hard on Dr Dre's "Chronic" album, which, as everybody also knows, is ironic, since Dre is basically a poser, and E is the "real deal Holyfield". Eazy decided to set the record straight, and this album is the result. It is awesome. The beats are like nothing you've ever heard; they're way beyond anything Eazy ever put together before or afterwards. They're tight, funky, complicated, layered, and chock-full of his trademark self-sampling. He was obviously determined to flash his mad production skillz, and he clearly succeeded. The whole album has a cohesion and unity to it that few others in the genre can match. No lame skits, no stupid interludes, just wall-to-wall West Coast funksmanship. As for the lyrics, they're sharp and absolutely on-point; there is a simplicity and economy to his rhymes, but there's no question they are devastating. And Eazy's flow is, well, about as smooth as you can possibly get. Some people will say 'Pac had the best flow, or Big L, but I think pound-for-pound the sweetest, smoothest MC ever has to be Eazy E. He's just butter on the mic, and he makes it seem effortless. Probably the best thing about this CD is that even though he was obviously not happy with how he was treated on the "Chronic," he doesn't simply retaliate with a lot of senseless, brutal lyrics. Sure, he's violent, but Eazy never lost his sense of humor, and it shines brilliantly on this collection. He didn't just want to get the last word on Dre, he wanted to get the last laugh, and if you listen to this disc, I think you'll agree: Eazy does it. The whip sound effect on "Gimme that Nutt" is by itself probably the funniest thing I've ever heard on a rap song, and, with the possible exception of "The Humpty Dance," Eazy's "Down to the Last Roach" has to be the best Parliament sample/tribute ever. And if you think Dre's a wuss and Snoop's a b----, or even if you just appreciate a good rap feud, then you'll love the juicy payback that Eazy dishes out throughout the album. There are too many classic lines to list, but probably the best dis comes from Dre himself. Eazy samples his lines from "Express Yourself" in which he denounces marijuana smoking, proving Eazy's point that this guy is just a flip-flopping hip-hopper who went pop, a studio ganster who changed his image just to cash in. Other rappers would have harped on this forever, but Eazy has a nice way of subtly making the point and moving on. Ok, I've rambled enough. Bottom line: Buy this album. Love it. Live it.
After the break up of N.W.A, Eazy-E and Dr. Dre started a feud that would go down in the history books. Dr. Dre left Ruthless and started his own label Death Row and released his first solo album, "The Chronic". The albums first single was a song called, "Don't F*** Wit Dre Day" where Dre and Snoop Dogg diss Eazy. But instead of Eazy writing just one diss track, he made a whole record dissing them.

This ep is probably the best ep ever in rap history. Using it to advertise for his 2 upcoming solo albums, "Str8 Off Tha Streetz Of Muthaphukkin Compton I n II", Eazy made it big with this cd. Went 3x platnium within a little amount of time. It's lead single, "Real Muthap******* G's" is where Eazy responds to Dr. Dre's diss song, "Dre Day" on his Chronic Album. This ep also includes the funniest rap song in its history, "Gimme That Nutt" when I first heard that song, I was rolling on the floor and still to this day after many years the song still kills me and puts a smile on my face haha. The only song I didn't like and wouldn't recommend is "Down 2 Tha Last Roach" because the song is close or over 8 minutes long and it is just an album filler in my opinion. Overall this is one of my favorite old school cd's and Eazy will never be forgotten in my heart, and thats one thing for sure.
I purchased this in feb 94 and to this date real muthafukin g's is still one of the all time greatest rap songs........bottom line if for some reason you have not heard this cd go buy it.........

how can Easy E dis anyone? he had aids??? I dont want to dis someone who's dead, but look where Dre and Snoop are now, and look where he is....truth hurts and this album hurt my ears. Bone Thugs were the second best thing to come from Easy E, aside from N.W.A. Go buy a Bone thugs album and stay away from this trainwreck of an album."

LOOK AT WHERE DR DRE AND SNOOP ARE NOW??? LET ME SEE, SNOOP DOESNT SELL LIKE HE USED TO , EAZY-E TOLD HIM HE WAS GETTING PIMPED AT DEATH ROW...AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENS , EAZY-E WAS RIGHT.....4. DR DRE THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM ...AND HE WAS RIGHT....5. WHILE YOU ARE TALKIN CRAP ABOUT HOW EAZY-E HAS MISPLACED ANGER, LETS NOT FORGET THAT EAZY-E WAS EARNING 25 CENTS PER RECORD THAT DRE WORKED ON WHEN HE WAS ON DEATH ROW...LETS SEE....THE CHRONIC SOLD 3 OR 4 MILLION...DO THE MATH...SNOOP DOGG'S 1ST CD...4 OR 5 MILLION...DO THE MATH...ETC.ETC....SO THERE GOES YOUR LIL SO CALLED BOAT THAT SANK WHEN YOU SPEAK ON A DEAD PERSON...LOOK AT WHERE DRE N SNOOP ARE???

LETS JUST BLOW YOUR SHIP OUT THE WATER MR POE.....IF IT WASNT FOR EAZY-E YOU WOULDNT HAVE ALL YOUR LIL FAVORITES..NO SNOOP, NO DRE, CUBE, NWA, FRIDAY MOVIES, NO EMINEM BLOWING UP, NO 50...ETC.ETC....TRAINWRECK OF AN ALBUM??? THIS CD SOLD 2MILLION SALES AND ITS A EP!!!!! HE BARELY HAD THAT MUCH PROMOTION......THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK WITH YOUR MINDLESS POSTS TO BRING SOMEONE WHO IS A LEGEND IN WESTCOAST RAP DOWN.........
Dr. Dre was always the weak link of NWA and held Snoop down and now is pampering the terrible G Unit and Aftermath record but I still like dre for his producing which he should stick to. On the classic cut Compton's 'n the house dre uses the lyrics "whacky whack"... Uhhh no rapper should ever say that.
But the album has sick g funk beats and good lyrics even though it's an EP release it's a good record with a classic diss track Real Muthaphukkin g'z
