Album information

It was going to be a 2-disc album, but Eazy-E died before he was able to finish it. The album was supposed to be released in 1994, but kept getting pushed back. Eazy-E said, in earlier 1995, that the album was set to be released in the summer of 1995. It was eventually released eight months after his death. He also said that the album was set to have up to 60 tracks. His wife, Tomica Wright, has said that the tracks still exist, but are yet to be released because there are many legal issues that are yet to be settled. Only 14 out of 60 songs ended up on the album.

The song "Wut Would You Do" was a diss track aimed at Death Row Records. The song makes comments about Dr. Dre, and other various artists on or involved with Death Row, like Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound. On an interview in Lil Eazy-E's documentary "The Life and Timez of Eric Wright" Eazy-E mentions on collaborating with such major acts as Bootsy Collins, Guns N' Roses, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Ice-T, Kool G. Rap, Too $hort, KRS-One, and many more.

Numerous rumors about several unreleased tracks are widespread. DJ Yella confirmed an unreleased track, named "Still Fuckin'" a "Fuck Tha Police style song" which featured other N.W.A bandmate, MC Ren. This track would have been on the album but remains unreleased because of several legal issues. Many fans of the late rapper have vented frustration over the recent years, that over a decade has passed since the death of Eazy-E yet these issues have not been settled.
