Where I would argue that more exciting rappers are able to write about recognizing the political nature of their bodies (Kendrick Lamar, Run The Jewels, even Macklemore), Eazy takes the journal-writing, sit-in-my-room-and-think approach When Earl Sweatshirt did this his thoughts deep and complicated, Eazy’s just aren’t. Though he’s definitely an adult doing adult things, is throwing a childish tantrum because he hasn’t yet been able to get a Rolls Royce a part of his paradoxical aesthetic (“Random”)? Or is he just pissed at not getting a Rolls? What’s it like bringing a girl to a titty bar after you fuck her (“Order More”)? What’s it like to live as a paradox? Is it just the human condition as he sees it? Is there some kind of truth within this fine line between what we want and what we need?ĭid he intentionally make that video hilarious when 3 other versions of him show up and interrupt the bullshit soul searching session? This opens up lots of different questions: We get “Random” where he goes over his well deserved fame, and then we get “Sad Boy” where he talks to himself mocking his own inexplicable depression.Įven in the video for “Me, Myself and I”, Eazy is arguing with himself in a mirror (kind of like the “Fuck You” scene in 25th Hour), and explains the paradox of being G-Eazy: one who will get lit and steal your girl, but also just wants peace, quiet, and some sense of wholeness. On When It’s Dark Out, Eazy does all of these things at once. One where he’s partying at a “legendary level”, another where the partying is rooted in a slew of daddy issues, and finally a realization that this guy’s aggressive substance consumption is really rooted in a deep self-hatred. Self-proclaimed king of douchebaggery, Tucker Max (in a podcast) once described his books as actually having three layers to analyze.

Making music and selling CDs since he was a teenager, he’s basically the douchebag you went to high school with that would constantly go on about his mixtape whenever you came over to buy weed. Since his first album came out (These Things Happen) and debuted at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, Eazy has proved himself to be a pop-rap hitmaker.

“You Got Me” is a strip club banger to say the very least, in which G-Eazy regales us of a long night out complete with all of its difficulties: The cops pulling you over, buying shitty coke, and finally the girl you’re trying to fuck is on her period (“Fuck you mean ‘it’s that time o’ month’?”). This is how I first listened to G-Eazy, and his single “You Got Me”. So at the burrito place I work at, we usually end up showing each other new music when it’s slow.
