"Temporary Insanity" was the second album that American rapper Eazy-E was supposed to release as a follow up to his 1988 LP “Eazy-Duz-It”.[1] The album was supposed to be produced by Dr. Dre and feature the N.W.A members as well as other artists & groups like Guns N' Roses with who Eazy reportedly recorded a song with called "Apocalips". Temporary Insanity was supposed to be the first full length solo double album in the Gangsta Rap genre. [2]
Dr Dre and Eazy-E came up with the idea after watching a scary movie together. After Ice Cube’s departure from the group, N.W.A released the EP “100 Miles N’ Runnin’”, which featured the tracks “100 Miles N’ Runnin” & “Real Niggaz”, which had shots aimed at former groupmate Ice Cube. From 1990 to mid 1991 N.W.A was working on “Niggaz4Life” (styled as “Efil4Zaggin”), and during this time Eazy appeared in interviews and photoshoots wearing broken glasses, hockey masks and straitjackets to tease his album.
Album information
[edit]Shortly before “Niggaz4Life”s release, Dr. Dre left the label & group to become the co-founder of "Death Row Records” alongside Suge Knight, The D.O.C and then Michel’le.
Eazy and Jerry tried making a deal with Dre, but he didn’t agree and left for good, a year after Dre’s departure Eazy kept working on his album, eventually releasing the classic EP “5150: Home 4 Tha Sick”, right before Dr. Dre’s debut "The Chronic ". The EP, although selling good and being certified Gold and later on Platinum by RIAA, was criticized a lot for its "old and outdated" sound, 5150 did very well as far as money goes but that was all because of Eazy's absence on the solo music scene.
This EP served as the prelude to Temporary Insanity. 5 Days later The Chronic was released and it featured the Above The Law pioneered sound called “G-Funk” which was taking over at an insane speed.
