Eazy-E - Eazy-er Said Than Dunn
© 1988 Ruthless Records. ''Eazy-er Said Than Dunn'' was one of Eazy-E's first and most loved singles apart from N.W.A. It had no explicit lyrics and was listener friendly for the radio. Dr. Dre's part in the song was the memorable intro and his production by using "Scratching" by the Magic Disco Machine and "The Breakdown" by Rufus Thomas. The video shows N.W.A. at a club playing the single to the crowd and wandering through Compton. To promote radio play, the song was deliberately written without profanity in the lyrics, but does have a reference of Cocaine, though it's mentioned negatively, saying he "don't do dope", the line is "Yo, I don't do dope, but I'm dope, not a dope", which he says dope as other meanings. Also, he uses the word "ass", and there are references of guns (gat) and sounds of gunshots throughout the song. This song featured in the soundtrack of 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the radio station Radio Los Santos.
Although the entire song is rapped by Eazy, the video shows the whole crew and mentions Dr. Dre and MC Ren in lines such as "My homey Dre is a doctor not a lawyer" and "Yo Ren get the gat show'em where it's at". The single was featured with others such as "Boyz-N-the-Hood", "Radio", and "Ruthless Villain" to name a few. The first line of the song is sung by Dr. Dre.
