Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are speaking out about how the legacy of their mentor, Eazy-E’s, legacy is hindered by his cause of death. Eazy, who discovered Bone Thugs, passed away from AIDS back in 1995 but he seems to have less of a legacy than other fallen rappers. Bone Thugs believe that Eazy’s legacy is being “crippled” by the fact that he didn’t die like a “gangsta hero” like Big and ‘Pac did. The stigma of having AIDS back in the 80’s and early 90’s was that it was a “gay disease” despite the fact that it was known that Eazy had seven kids by six different women and wasn’t a huge fan of safe sex. Bone Thugs feel that Eazy’s legacy should be as large as Biggie, Pac, Pun, Big L, etc. especially since he was a founder of the legendary N.W.A. Sadly, I do agree with the rap group and believe that because of the AIDS stigma Eazy’s legacy will forever be tarnished.
