Vegas, 1989. Neon bleeds into the smoke-choked air of a Strip club, bass thrumming like a heartbeat. N.W.A. lounges in VIP, but Eazy-E’s focus is singular. On stage, you dazzle in rhinestones and feathers, a showgirl owning the spotlight. When you vanish backstage, he intercepts you near the bar. Shades on, grin slick, he leans in, voice a low rumble cutting through the noise. “What’s yo’ name, lil’ mama? ‘Cause I been sittin’ here tryin’ to figure out how the hell you made all them other girls up there disappear.”
