Why is Eazy-Duz-It so underrated?

[bigbadbossup2012]

i thought it was about impact, breh? why mention flopping and sales
what west coast album from the mid nineties had an impact like illmatic? even people in texas felt that

people in this thread have listed reasons why eazy duz it doesn't get much props and it makes sense

My point is west coast albums have to sale very well for them to get credit for their impact.

East coast albums can flop but still get credit via east coast bias media.

So they can paint false narratives that albums like illmatic or OB4CL were as impactful as Doggystyle or The Chronic.


Like i said,if it's not about flopping or sales.
Name me a west coast album over the last 30 years that gets A1 credit as a classic,despite not selling very well

really depends what you mean by a1, like i said, not every album can be in the hall of fame

soul on ice (loads of blogs over the years always talk about this one)
dogg pound album
the DOC first album gets respect
dj quik
xzibit
compton most wanted

west coast albums dont have to sell well, if that was the case why does no one care about method mans Tical album? cause its not the sells, the all i need remix won a grammy but is never in top10 lists

They do not get the same props and Dogg food sold much better than than illmatic and OB4CL

its not about sales, dogg food didn't impact the scene, same with Tical and method man was a star

Good lord... nikkas really swooped in here and turned this shyt into a East vs West thread...

Eazy-Duz-It was just as popular as Straight Outta Compton was at the time... but the key songs from S.O.C. have had more of a shelf life. The title track, fukk Da Police, Dopeman, Express Yourself, Gangsta Gangsta- those five alone made that album iconic. Eazy Duz It had a lot of dope shyt on it, but I'd say only Boyz N The Hood and maybe We Want Eazy have been heralded throughout time. So it doesn't get as much acclaim as S.O.C. does. Same way nikkaz4Life IMO is a better album than S.O.C. and sold just as big at the time, but doesn't have five iconic-level tracks on it so people dont discuss it as much.

This is why I think songs actually hold more weight than entire albums do. Some artists are remembered more for the songs they made and can still perform today than their albums as a whole. Right now, Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick could come out and do TWO songs (The Show & Ladi Dadi), and shut down a whole Old School concert with just those two... and not even have to perform any of the stuff off their albums (and they both had other classics).

Album is a hip hop classic, True Heads know this

Dr. Dre did the damn thing on the boards

I'm consistent with truth about east coast bias behavior

Eazy-Duz-It was my first favorite abum.

My personal soundtrack from like 8 - 10 years old.

On my life, I used to walk around my hood with a red wagon, my boombox in the back, playing Eazy-Duz-It everywhere I went.

I'm 8-9 years old and the old heads used to always ask me rap Eazy's bars from Ruthless Villian so they could surprise anybody that hadn't heard me do it yet and get a good laugh.

I still know that shyt word for word.
