Too $hort was on deck at the Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club in New York this week to promote his upcoming project, The Pimp Tape. As he was making the press rounds, he opened up about his relationship with the late Eazy-E.
The Bay Area Hip Hop legend told Page Six he’s still not convinced the gangsta rap pioneer died of AIDS but he wouldn’t dive too deep into the topic. He quickly jumped to a tangent and started talking about Eazy’s legacy.
“I don’t necessarily agree,” he said. “I don’t really want to get into that right now. But that is not how I think it happened. I just like to think of it like this — since you brought up Eazy-E, let’s say if there was no Eazy-E, how does that impact Hip Hop?
“If you had no Eazy-E, you got no N.W.A, no Dr. Dre, no Ice Cube, no Tupac Death Row years . . . no Bone Thugs. No Aftermath, no 50 Cent, no Eminem — the way we know them. The branch that is called Eazy-E on the Hip Hop tree is massive.”
It’s well documented Eazy died of complications stemming from AIDS in 1995. Evidently, $hort doesn’t think so. He also refuses to accept the circumstances surrounding the death of UGK legend Pimp C.
In an interview with HipHopDX last December, $hort explained, “I can’t believe it’s 10 years and I still… I have never till this day, been able to accept the circumstances.
“That’s a lot of these little weird situations with folks getting found in hotel rooms and they always be by themselves in a fucking hotel somewhere in some strange shit and I’m just like, what the hell is going on with celebrities and hotel rooms?”

mane me & short dogg taking big shitz at the ritz, he should know mane when you poppin 99% of your time in a hotel somewhere not to say he doesnt have insights buts thats just statistics & probabilty long live the P but yeah no easy & hip hop is totally different
Wsup wit that movie script Eazy E made before he passed. That would be a perfect fit for Lil’Eazy and Curtis Young. To bad every thing Eazy E worked for every body are enjoying the fruits of his labor but his kids….
yeah, I always known that. Eazy was definitely poisoned. Fuck da bloody government! One Love 4 Eazy-E #Westside Till We Die
It was tomica everybody is starting to figure it out
I have always suspected it was tomica from day one she had everything to gain would not be hard for her to inject him in sleep drunk maybe suge have supplied her with the blood maybe he didn’t but she did it just follow the money
The Straight Outta Compton movie was pure garbage. Eazy would be turning in his grave if he saw that shit…
