1991 marked the final time super west coast rap group NWA would rule the chart’s and complete a full-length project “Ni**az 4 Life” breaking up at Number One the hottest rap band at the time came as a shocking blow to many fans’s however inside eternal problems between Dr.Dre and Eazy E would play out shortly after the departure Of Dre over money and management dispute while Dre left after minor promotion obligation he teamed up with Marion Suge Knight an Ex Football Player and Bodyguard now turning manager and head of Death Row Records went to great lengths to try to break and intimidate Eazy for contracts of his artists for his own gain in other cases minor success but was met with lawsuits and red tape.
Eazy E loss his best friend/producer and in house music overseer of Ruthless Records Eazy E had been gearing up for an upcoming 2nd solo album Temporilly Insanity but no material would be recorded as the fallout occurred as Dre went to produce Deep Cover while still under contract with Ruthless
Eazy E needed a solo project to stay afloat and let the fans know he was still the man with or without Dre's presence, he signed more acts and remained Eazy his first solo album had been released “Eazy Duz It” three year’s prior he was a fan of New Jersey East Coast hip hop trio “Naughty By Nature” their song O.P.P. which was a hit song in mid 1991, Eazy always had respect amongst East Coast Hip Hoppers and he reached out to Naughty for help on his upcoming EP 5150-Home 4 Tha Sick for the song Only If You Want It

1st; In The Opening Intro Of 5150 Home 4 Tha Sick EP, New Year’s Ev-il a cryptic intro message that is obvilously a jab at Dr.Dre “You Thought I Couldn’t Do It Without You/I’m Baaack..” this probably threw more on the fire than Dre had planned with for The Chronic which was ironcally released in the same month and year just 5 day’s apart, perhaps Eazy E was tipped off about the disses during the lawsuit regarding The Chronic headed his way and decided to shoot first. there’s no mystery. the pettieness had just begun
2nd: Only If You Want It highlights Eazy signature youthful high pitch voice he raps Treach from Naughty:
“with a clip to claw wouldn’t draw McgrawI trick a law before all and all I’m raw” a menacing fun track with sexual inundos Eazy then Raps:

“Perched up high on a roof top like a bird i’m havin’ evil thoughts
A black hood covers my face
And death flows through my mind at it’s own pace
Sometimes I feel like a super hero, urgin’ to free my kind” in the 3rd verse Eazy makes it clear as day
‘i m Doin’ dirt by myself as I continue my mission
Killin’ all fools as an addiction
As a E lovin’ the game leavin a shame
And in my heart I feel no mutha***kin’ pain
Because my heart is cold as I was told
And my A.K.47 I stand bold,
4th: Ni**az My Height Don’t Fight produced By DJ Bobcat Ervin from “LA Posse” Fame and Producer for many Westcoast and East Coast acts and artist’s, Eazy narrates how he isn’t a joke and doens’t give care much about The Police and Others but also he’ll shoot you cause at his height he don’t fight,
I told you lil locs aint playin’
Gotta roll with the bunches
Cant help the travellin’ bunches
Now aint that somethin’
Just a case a few ni**az try to trip
Bone-out, put on my skimask
And come back blastin’
Cause ni**az my height don’t fight
My name is Eazy-E
You’re mothaf***kin’ right’ an energetic track Eazy has fun here as Bobcat provide scratche’s and breaks uses E voice from previous records

Straight outta compton kickin’ up dust” argubuly one of the best track’s on this EP (Extended Play”)
