Temporary Insanity is the first Double Disc Album that was supposed to be released by American rapper Eazy-E and the album was an unreleased project during his lifetime. It was originally supposed to released on January 19, however it was prolonged after Eazy-E lost Dr.Dre as a producer and it was later supposed to be released may 11 1993[6] via Relativity Records and Eazy-E's Ruthless Records, as a response to Dr. Dre's debut solo album The Chronic, which repeatedly attacks Eazy.

To follow up his 1992 EP 5150: Home 4 tha Sick, Eazy-E had planned a double album named Temporary Insanity. Album was Fully Recorded and finished, According to DJ Yella and Eazy-E album was prolonged and Prolonged, They assumed they would not be able to respond to Dr Dre's, Tapes and CDs were stolen of Temporary insanity, some containing parts of it, and some as the full album, however Eazy was still faced with The chronic. Which threw shots At Eazy E, Eazy scrapped the album which left him Yet to respond to Dre's spotlight and his May 1993 single "Fuck wit Dre Day", which mainly disses him, Eazy changed plans. And created a EP, shots at Dre are absent from only three tracks: "Gimmie That Nutt", "Any Last Werdz", and "Boyz-N-the-Hood (G-Mix)". The lead single, "Real Muthaphuckkin G's"—which, alike "Any Last Werdz", carried a music video—became Eazy's most successful single.[a]

performance

To date, this was targeted to be Eazy-Es most successful album, and had the potential of becoming as planned, however the album just happened be in the wrong place at the wrong time, which led to its failure, overall the album was amazing based on the available tracks. After the prolonging and failure, they decided to scrap the album, they replaced it with "it's on (Dr.Dre) 187um Killa" which ended up It peaked at number 5 on the Billboard 200 as well as at number 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[7] In 1994, it was certified double-platinum by the RIAA, with over 2 million copies sold in America. It remains one of 2 gangsta rap EPs to go multi-platinum, alongside Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's Creepin on ah Come Up, which Eazy-E also appeared on.[8]

Idea and Meaning

edit

Temporary insanity has some connection with the movie, The First Power. In 1990 when N.W.A Was done working on The 1991 Efil4Zaggin Dre And Eazy stayed after hours and watched the movie First Power, It now being Eazys Favorite film, it gave him the Idea Of temporary insanity, the album Dre agreed , Dre finished production in a month, and Eazy recorded with him until he left in a year, with him already upset, but Dre took the beats and created death row, meaning Eazy had to use his acapellas on a different beat. The meaning of temporary insanity was that Eazy became insane with this album, killing, and just being generally crazy.
