Review - Amazon.com
Hip-hop culture may still be in its infancy (at best, it's a toddler), but the late businessman, musician, and cultural icon Eric "Eazy-E" Wright is already a legend. A two-disc multimedia package, Impact of a Legend honors the legacy of rap's original gangster. For better or worse (perhaps a bit of both), he redirected the music's focus by creating gangsta rap, a genre that put America's romanticized notions about pulling yourself up by the boot straps through the grinders of poverty, desperation, and violence. More significantly, Eazy-E's death from AIDS was an entire generation's wake-up call.

Disc 1 is a well-produced, informative DVD-format documentary. Disc 2 is an eight-song compilation of previously unreleased music recorded late in 1994 and just prior to Eazy's death in early 1995. The selections on Impact don't sound at all dated and are definitely worth adding to your collection. Disc 2 has two additional features: a comic book that summarizes the documentary's narrative and a PC video game called Hittin' Switchez. If you've ever wanted to be Eazy-E for a day, here's your chance. --Rebecca Levine

- God Father of this S**t

BUY THE FU**IN THING.I cant make it any simpler, the dvd alone is worth your money. Then on top of it all it comes with unreleased material which is all classic material. This album makes you realise what a shame it is the E is no longer with us and that he deserves to be put in the same category as tupac and biggie. Because with out eazy-e and N.W.A who knows what would of happened to the careers of artists such as biggie and tupac who both have harsh lyrics that N.W.A made exceptible. GIVE ME A HELPFUL VOTE IF YOU BELIEVE EAZY-E HAS THE RIGHT TO BE CATAGORISED ALONG TUPAC AND BIGGIE.

- Great Package, Great Price

Impact of a legend, Great 8 track EP with the Bonus DVD with all the Clips,

its worth every cent you pay for it, you get a Poster, Comic book CD, DVD

and 2 games. Every track is rated 5/5 according to me, If you have most

of Eazy's albums get this. If you are a fan of Rap & Hip Hop, get this. If you

Like West Coast rap, Get this. The DVD shows a whole lot of music videos and

clips from Arsenio Halls tv show and also footage of Bone Thugs.

He is my favourite artist of all time with Notorious BIG, and you must remember

if it wasnt for him, finding NWA and starting up GANGSTA Rap, there would never

have been no 2Pac, Biggie, Cube, etc.

Also another great feature is the fact that it has a video Megamix totally awesome

you get to see Steffon, ATL, Eazy E, Dresta, BG KO, NWA, Michele, Blood of abraham

etc. Total classic, i actually listened to it then put it in a snap lock bag

and stored it away with my classic collectables., dont want it to get ruined.

Awesome work i hope they release another one of these with more unreleased material.

GET THE DAMN ALBUM YOU WONT REGRET IT.

R. I. P. EAZY-E Tha hiphop thugsta.

- RUTHLESS 4 LIFE!

Well that Hip Hop Thugzta is bak...With 6 unreleased traks...and a nice lil DVD featuring 10 full length Eazy-E video's,A documentary,Rarely seen footage,And a Ruthless Records Video Mega Mix. There is also a Eazy-E Comic book that comes inside of the CD booklet. This is a must for any Eazy-E/Ruthless fan...I've been waiting for this album to drop for years ever since I heard there was some unreleased material that Ruthless had. I just really hope and pray this isn't the last we will hear from Eazy. But if it is. It sure is a nice way for em to go out...Go out and support this...REST IN PEACE ERIC(Eazy-E)WRIGHT! You are missed lil homie...

- The Godfather of Gangsta Rap Still Lives On

I have never been a Huge Eazy-E fan. The only other Eazy-E album I have ever owned was Its On(Dre)187um Killa. But when I first saw this advertised, I knew that I would be waiting at the doors for the store to open on release day. Impact Of A Legend comes with so much more than Amazon advertises. It is a new cd called The Godfather of Gangsta Rap, With 6 new tracks. It also comes with a DVD that has a biography, 10 videos including Real Compompton City G's,Foe the Love of Money,BNK,Straight outta Compton. Most videos are UNEDITED TOO!!! It has TWO video games, a comic book based on Eazy's life, collectors poster, and many other special features on the DVD...

- One of the best rap dvds out there

Unlike the other eazy e dvd (life and timez of eric wright), Impact of a legend is a masterpiece. Along with welcome to death row, and the up in smoke tour dvd, this is one of the best rap dvds out there. Not only is it a cd with all new eazy material, it comes with a dvd filled with awesomeness. A documentary with so much behind the scenes stuff, it also has a discography where you can sample every song eazy e ever made. There is a whole bunch of video clips streamed together in an ultimate ruthless compilation. This dvd is so sick, any eazy e fan out there should buy this right away. It even comes with a poster in the booklet.
