On today in Hip Hop historical past, Eazy-E launched his second solo EP It’s On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa. Launched one yr after his first EP and a protracted 5 years after his debut album Eazy-Duz-It, this album was a response to Dr. Dre’s prolific debut The Continual. Tensions turned excessive between the 2 NWA heavyweights and after the group’s 1991 cut up, the meat turned public.

The West Coast was in a state of civil struggle. After NWA’s explosive breakup, its ex-members spared no time to air out their grievances on each different report they launched. With Ice Dice attacking the Ruthless Information infrastructure and Dr. Dre siding with the enemy (Suge Knight and Demise Row) to convey down all Eazy had constructed, there was no selection however for Eazy-E to reply as he did. He used the majority of this album to state his opinion on Dr. Dre and his road authenticity, with every of the eight tracks on the EP attacking Dre’s picture, originality, previous, and present standing within the rap sport.

Except for the disrespect that served because the core of this challenge, Eazy-E actually flexed his musical muscle mass with each monitor. Whether or not the inspiration surged from his emotional response to what was going together with his ex-bandmates or just from him being a seasoned veteran of gangsta rap is unsure. What may be seen and heard nevertheless is that Eazy-E ate his Wheaties earlier than hopping on the microphone to put down this EP. With this challenge, we hear Eazy extra comfy together with his personal stream and who is aware of precisely the place his lane is and how you can be the quickest in it. As his closing accomplished work in life, it’s a nice depiction of his development and maturity as an artist.

Commercially, the album was successful. Peaking at #5 on the Billboard 200 and claiming the #1 spot on the Prime R&B/Hip Hop chart,  It’s On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa offered 110,600 copies in it’s first week and was licensed double platinum in 1994.
