Lil Eazy-E, son of the late Eazy-E, recently provided TMZ with a tour of the place where the group N.W.A first got its start. Joined by Dr. Dre’s son, Curtis Young, Lil Eazy-E offered a tour of the Compton, California garage studio where those in N.W.A recorded their early records.
During the tour, Lil Eazy-E pointed out original items, including a set of speakers. He even made reference to a drawer in the garage, which contained original lyrics.
“It all started in this area right here,” Lil Eazy-E said. “Where they had boards. Dre had a board. Those [are] original speakers from back then. Just shit that we kept along. Original speakers on the other side. And we have a drawer where it’s original lyrics…That’s where they did certain N.W.A hits and cuts. Or Ren was over here writing, late night. [They] were crashing here, of course…Just some O.G. history.”
Lil Eazy-E’s tour of the place where N.W.A got its start comes days after the N.W.A biopic, Straight Outta Compton was released in theaters.
Although Lil Eazy-E was unable to play the role of his father in Straight Outta Compton, he did offer advice to Jason Mitchell, the actor who plays Eazy-E in the film.
“Jason has come to my grandmother’s house where I was born and raised, where my father was born and raised and where N.W.A started,” he said during an interview with Rolling Stone in 2014. “I reached out to him to give him the support and any advice he needs. He has a big burden on his shoulders to bring forth the character and legacy of my father and the legacy of N.W.A, period…I’m not upset about [the casting]. What Cube did was a great thing and a loving father, that you’re supposed to do for your family and your legacy.”

Lil Eazy!! Put the cheeseburgers down!! ASAP
Tha nigga don’t look like his dad!!
I always thought he was identical to Eazy. I think he could have pulled it off with the same training as Cube’s son who was NOT a trained actor until the movie process was started. However i get how Cube said the big guys wanted someone else. Oh well. Nice history. Happy niggas aint tore it up
I Think Dre should of definitely wrote his parts ICE CUBE,AND THEN LITTLE EAZY E, SHOULD HELP WRITE FOR THE PART OF HIS FATHER.BUT I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE NWA STRAIGHT OUT OF COMPTON..
Funny how this lil fucker lil Eazy has to use his dads name for notoriety. Now dudes gonna put out a bunch of garbage albums as lil Eazy E and ruin his dads legacy. Would have way more respect if he would have chose a different name
