Eazy-E Slapped With Posthumous Lawsuit

Veteran personal manager Gerald E. Heller is suing the estate of the late rapper Eazy-E (Eric Wright), Ruthless Records, and estate co-executors Ronald Sweeney and Tomica Woods-Wright for alleged unpaid management fees. The suit, filed June 6 in Los Angeles Superior Court, states that Heller has not been paid in accordance with the oral agreement established in 1987 between Wright and Heller for deals negotiated by Heller on behalf of Wright and Ruthless Records, later incorporated as Comptown Records Inc. The suit seeks damages of at least $10 million, a reimbursement of legal fees, and a full accounting of all funds collected by the defendants.

“My President”

Young Jeezy | 2008

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
