VIDEO: Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Remember Eazy-E

Fifteen years ago on March 26th, 1995 Eric “Eazy-E” Wright died at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The founder of NWA and pioneer of West Coast Hip-Hop succumbed to complications due to AIDS. He was 31 years old.

One of his crowning achievements was signing Cleveleand, Ohio based rap group Bone Thugs-N -Harmony to his Ruthless Records label. Their hit song “Tha Crossroads” paid homage to Eazy E and reached #1 on Billboards Hot 100 and Hot Rap Singles charts. With their new CD, Uni-5: The World’s Enemy in stores this spring,  TheUrbandaily asked them about the impact of their mentor.
