...When N.W.A. was first started, Eazy-E never planned on rapping in any songs; he was set to provide the money, not the talent. After hearing Eazy-E rap, however, the other N.W.A. members liked his distinct, almost child-like voice[citation needed] and Ice Cube gave him some lyrics he had already written (see "Boyz-n-the-Hood").

Eazy-E's first solo album, Eazy-Duz-It, sold two million copies certifying it as a double platinum album. This album had three hit singles: "We Want Eazy", "Eazy-Er Said Than Dunn," and "Boyz-n-the-Hood." Fellow N.W.A. rapper Ice Cube wrote the lyrics for Eazy's first songs.

Eazy-E's creative vision was not always shared by the other members of N.W.A.. Dr. Dre was especially critical of the direction Eazy-E was leading the group[citation needed]. Eazy-E wanted to portray a rough, realistic image using stark production and minimal beats; Dre preferred to incorporate more mainstream elements into his production.[citation needed]

The subsequent period saw the release of several EPs as both group and Eazy-E solo efforts, plus a side project from the D.O.C. On the final N.W.A. album, Efil4zaggin (1991), some of the lyrics provoked outrage from many critics and conservative circles, but this served to increase the group's audience.[citation needed] Eazy-E included even more of the elements that Dr. Dre considered cartoonish,[citation needed] such as the use of pistols and shotguns in videos for Always into Somethin' and Appetite for Destruction.

These differences of opinion led to a bumpy relationship; a break-up ensued when it was revealed that Eazy and Jerry Heller were borrowing money from the group. Ice Cube had previously discovered this causing him to leave N.W.A., and he referenced this in his diss song, "No Vaseline". Subsequently, Eazy and Dre started feuding--a feud that grew to embroil most of Ruthless Records and Dre's new label, Death Row Records.
