Old, old Heads: Did You Find It Strange That Eazy-E Tried to Lie About His Age?

[Aje]

Or was it like a tongue-in-cheek, "inside" joke that there was no way he released his / NWA's debut album at the age of 15.

Eazy was born in '64 but claims on "Eazy-Duz-It" he was born in '73.

The reason I suspect it was a joke the whole time was, because on "No More Questions", the interviewer asks, "What's your real age?" and E goes, "No more questions!"

damn Eazy would have been near 60 now

RIP to the Godfather of Gangsta Rap


I think it was pretty common for rappers to lie about their age back in the day...much harder to do nowadays with the internet and social media

I always thought it was a joke. I don’t think they were ever actually trying to pass him off as a kid rapper.

Didn't The Game try to lie and say he was Eazy's son?

Lying >

Eazy stayed trolling people.

In those days you were pretty much considered at like 30 lol. There were a few exceptions of course. Rappers now should be thankful

A lot of these rappers/singers lie about their age to sell an image.

I always took it as a joke. I knew he wasn't a kid, but didn't know his real age either.
