Eazy E Boyz N The Hood Album

[Annegret Haldiman]

Myfather, George Jr. was a talented DJ. He, my Uncle Lynwood and their friend were also passionate about dancing and partying. They quickly became popular in the Los Angeles urban music scene and started getting booked and performing regularly at local parties. HBO became so popular that Dr. Dre asked them to perform with his first musical group, the World Class Wrecking Cru. Eventually they were introduced to Ice Cube, Eazy E, the DOC and other members of what would become Niggaz With Attitude.

Things went left when my uncle Lynwood and Suge Knight started arguing about using a phone that was forbidden for use by anyone other than Suge Knight responded by ordering everyone out of the studio, pistol whipping my father and uncle, and shooting at them. Dr. Dre did nothing. After robbing and threatening them to keep quiet Knight had my father and uncle escorted out of the building and to their car.

Despite the threat, the brothers decided to tell the police, who had been waiting for an opportunity to arrest Knight. The police stormed the studio and arrested everybody. Nobody would give a testimony about what happened to the Stanley brothers. The only reason the police had proof of the crime was because the bullet Knight shot at my father and uncle was still lodged in the wall. The evidence sent Knight to jail and allowed my father and Uncle to sue him in civil court and the Los Angeles District Attorney to charge him in criminal court. This move made them the first of a long line of victims to hold Suge Knight accountable for his actions.

The case ended with my father and Uncle receiving a million daughter settlement and a recording deal with Death Row Records in 1994 and Knight receiving a controversial plea bargain in his criminal case. My father and uncle went to work on their album while Knight went to sign a jailed Tupac Shakur to the label. Shortly afterwards, Eazy E passed away.

Update: Both brothers went on to have more children. My father had another son, Jaden with a new partner. My uncle Lynwood had four children: Shanequah, Trayvon, Shamira, and Tyreek.

For the next two years my father and uncle devoted their time to their drug operation and numerous other businesses that were funded by the settlement money. They threw extravagant parties with exotic women and animals, bought expensive clothes and cars, and blew the money fast. It seemed they were living the life. But it would all soon come crashing down.

He had just enough money and product to take up residence at a motel in Los Angeles where a longtime girlfriend helped care for him and run his businesses. My Uncle Lynwood planned to rebuild his empire once he recovered, but he never got the chance.

Writing this article changed my life. It triggered me into doing the deep shadow work that was necessary for my spiritual healing. I found myself sitting in front of my video camera recalling the story of my childhood. This process took three years because reliving the trauma while stuck in survival mode took all of my mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual strength. But once the work was done, I realized that I had been dealt a crappy hand in life, and that I could only rely on myself and God.

Although this realization caused me alot of grief, it awakened me to my own personal power. Because I was able to identify my problems, I was able to put together a plan to get my lifetime together. God gave me a chance to demonstrate my faith in Him by bringing about the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020 and the stimulus checks that I used to move back to my native West Coast and away from the toxic relationships that were breaking my soul. It was there, in Las Vegas, during the Summer of 2020 that I relaunched this blog, reposted this article, and wrote the associated articles (Back Down Memory Lane: Memoirs of a Daughter of Death Row Parts 1-4), which allowed me to reap the profound benefits of telling my story, and finally get the healing I needed.

This was very informative, i was rewatching Straight Outta Compton and pause it at the H.B.O scene to do a quick research on who they were. This was very good and i hope this was well compensated for.
