Eazy-E is said to have recorded songs with Guns N’ Roses

It’s been 28 years since West Coast rapper Eazy-E died. A few days after reconciling with his former NWA colleagues Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, he succumbed to HIV infection on March 26, 1995. Some of his projects were released posthumously: his second studio album STR8 OFF THA STREETZ OF MUTHAPHKKIN COMPTON (1995), as well as his EP IMPACT OF A LEGEND (2002). Now Arnold “Bigg A” White, a former close friend of the rapper, betrayed one Conversation with “Rock the Bells”that there appears to be more unreleased material by Eric Wright. Among other things, a collaboration with Guns N’ Roses.

“There’s still unreleased music out there,” said Bigg A. “We know for sure that he [Eazy-E] had two or three or four reels of tape in the car when he went to the hospital. Those coils are gone,” White continued. However, these are the recordings that are supposed to contain the songs by Eazy-E and Guns N’ Roses. In the meantime, the coils have appeared in Canada. Arnold White does not know what has happened to them since then. But there is more material, the “Daz Dillinger” manager indicated. “[DJ] Yella has a bit of that and I know for a fact that there are unreleased a cappella vocal tracks, that he’s worked on a couple of records with producers that I’ve worked with and – as far as I can tell – they were in the studio from Dr. Dre.”

The curious friendship of NWA and Guns N’ Roses

When Axl Rose wore an NWA cap in his band Guns N’ Roses’ music video for “Live and Let Die,” the group began to realize that they had become famous beyond the borders of the Los Angeles suburb of Compton, Dr. Dre once. The rap group retaliated by naming a song on their album NIGGAZ4LIFE (1991) “Appetite for Destruction” — after Guns N’ Roses’ debut album. The two bands would party together from time to time – and even planned a tour together, which unfortunately never happened. They were also connected by rock ‘n’ roll. Less the music genre, but more the mindset, as Ice Cube described it in his speech on the induction of NWA into the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” in 2016. “Rock and roll is not a genre of music. Rock and roll is a state of mind,” said the now 53-year-old.
