"We Want Eazy" was a single by Eazy-E featuring fellow N.W.A members Dr. Dre and MC Ren from his 1988 debut album, Eazy-Duz-It. The song was produced by Dr. Dre and DJ Yella. "We Want Eazy" appeared on his greatest hits, Eternal E. A 12-inch remix of this song was released as a single and appeared on rappers posthumous compilation, Featuring…Eazy-E. The music video begins with a scene where Ice Cube and Eazy-E are sitting in a prison and talking to each other (as an intro). While the song begins Eazy is seen running away from police chasing him and while he is trying to flee, he drops his hat on way. Other scenes of the video include Eazy-E performing on-stage. The song cover art is also featured as the album cover for Dr. Dre's multiplatinum debut album The Chronic and pays homage to the Zig-Zag cigarette rolling paper company which had become very prominent in Hip-Hop culture as it was a used to wrap cannabis.

The song borrows heavily from the 1977 Bootsy's Rubber Band classic "Ahh... The Name Is Bootsy, Baby!
