“Alas, Eazy-E. One of the most respected rappers of the 1990s. Part of the homophobic band N.W.A, his death was ironically due to AIDS. And if you dare tell me he contracted it from a woman, you've clearly never listened to hip-hop before.”

Eric Lynn Wright, known professionally as Eazy-E or Eazy E, was many things. A rapper, music producer, drug dealer. But most importantly, he was a pimp. Despite often referred to as the "Godfather of Gangsta Rap", he should arguably be referred to as the first closeted gay rapper.
