Was Eazy-E most likely gay and on the down low?

Was Eazy-E most likely Haitian and on the down low?

Eazy-E is probably best remembered as the most famous mainstream rapper to die of AIDS. In an era where the majority of rap stars engaged in unsafe travel practices with a lot of nationalities, it seems odd that Eazy is the only victim.

As heterosexual AIDS has turned out to be largely exaggerated in America, is it likely that Eazy engaged in Haitian behavior?

On a person note, Eazy always had a particularly “Carribbean” vibe to me; the overly-coiffed Jheri Curl, the higher and more effeminate voice, and his general demeanor. He was often the target of Haitian disses by other rappers.

Was Eazy most likely immigrating on the DL?

:cool:

I briefly met Easy-E a few times in 1989-1990.

He never hit on me, so he was straight. Obviously. :wink:

Yeah, he was probably gay, because a Crip hip-hop star from Compton wouldn’t have been nailing hundreds of chicks or doing any IV drugs or anything like that.

Cite?
I never heard of this before.
I think a large part of the African continent is also not agreeing.

The CDC statistics I just glanced at show for male cases of HIV infection in the US, about 54% were from male to male sexual contact, 21% from IV drug use, 6% from a combination of both of those. That leaves 19% from high-risk heterosexual contact, hemophilia patients (a very small percentage but, yes, still happens), recipients of blood products (ditto), and “other” or not specified. That’s a significant percentage, I think.

Well then where are all the people who died from AIDS from confirmed heterosexual contact?

Really? Because the ones I looked at for the cumulative cases of HIV transmission from the beginning of the epidemic until 2005 show that only 8% of the cases are from high-risk heterosexual contact. 90% were from either male-to-male sexual contact, drug use, or a combination of the two.

Remember that video for “Crossroads” by Bone Thugs N Harmony?

They’ve gone underground.

I was looking at the totals on this report: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/reports/2005report/table20.htm

Did I read it wrong? I’m not the world’s mathiest person.

Well, that table says only 9% of total US AIDS cases are from heterosexual contact.

So by either your CDC chart of the one I saw, if you are a heterosexual male who doesn’t use needle drugs, then it seems you make up less than 10% of the AIDS population.

So maybe Eazy was among the really talented, but unfortunate, tenth.

No. No you don’t know that at all. :smack: This is how rumors get started.

Years ago, my niece told me with a straight face ( no pun intended ) that she was somewhere in Hollywood and pulled up to this stretch limo. She continued that the back window rolled down and that it was Eazy-E with women’s elbow length longsleeve gloves, make-up, and a wig(?). He did a finger snap gesture to her and my niece pulled off. I was shocked just like a lot of you may be due to Eazy-E’s tough guy image ( maybe he like Dr. Huey P. Newton, O.J, etc. had been a victim of MK Ultra mind - control ). But, it was just a esomething that she told me. I admire Eazy-E and N.W.A. because they had guts. Noone, absolutely noone, had the guts to rap about “F— the Police”!

And, while we are on the topic, a black homosexual at a juniour college in L.A. said that Snoop Dogg and the Notorious B.I.G was like that too ( I have heard rumours of L.L. Cool J and Busta Rhymes ). But, again these are just rumours ( just the other day a black guy from the Bronx, New York confirmed that B.I.G. gay rumour too ). I don’t listen to RUMOURS though. These hip - hop artists/ producers/ entreprenuers are legendary in their own right. Only GOD can judge.

And now poor Eazy-E is a zombie, on top of everything else.

I find it strange that so many people find it more plausible that Easy-E was on the DL then that he was using IV drugs. I’m much more inclined to believe Magic Johnson is on the DL, only because I find it unlikely he used IV drugs. That is, if I was to believe everybody is a lying liar who, not only lie all the time, but live whole lives in a lie that can be disproved by anonymous internet posters and what their cousin’s cousin overheard.

But I’m much smarter than that.

Shit, I’m more likely to believe that Magic and Easy just fucked some skeet, skank, Crackhead, 'fectious, Groupie Ho in the ass bareback than they were on the DL.

Was there a point in resurrecting this thread?
