Eazy E is both deified and vilified. He is deified because he makes great music and raps about real shit. He spits real raps and didnt care what people thought. Him talking about life on the streets like guns and drungs is part of the reason he's both deified and vilified.

He might also be vilified because he was having a fued with dr.dre for awhile and that probably didnt look good for his image. There were also rumors of him and a friend stealing money from his group, this made some people not like him. And on march 26th, 1995 Eazy E died.
