===The end of N.W.A (1991β1995)=== [[File:Eazy-E.jpg|thumb|Eazy-E (pictured in 1993) feuded with the other former members of the group until his death in 1995.]] 1991's ''Niggaz4Life'' was the group's final album. After Dr. Dre, The D.O.C. and Michel'le departed from Ruthless to join [[Death Row Records]] and allegations over Eazy-E being coerced into signing away their contracts (while however retaining a portion of their publishing rights), a bitter rivalry ensued.<ref name="allmusic" /> Dr. Dre began the exchange in 1992 with Death Row's first release, "[[Fuck Wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')]]", and its accompanying video featured a character named "Sleazy-E" (played by actor [[Anthony Johnson (actor)|A.J. Johnson]]) who ran around desperately trying to get money. The insults continued on ''[[The Chronic]]'' with "Bitches Ain't Shit". Eazy-E responded in 1993 with the EP ''[[It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa|It's On (<s>Dr. Dre</s>) 187um Killa]]'' on the tracks "[[Real Muthaphuckkin G's]]" and "It's On". Eazy-E accused Dr. Dre of being a homosexual, calling him a "she thang", and criticizing Dre's new image by calling him and Snoop "studio gangsters". The music video for "Real Muthaphuckkin G's" showed a still of Dre wearing make-up and a sequined jumpsuit. The photos dated back to Dr. Dre's World Class Wreckin' Cru days, when such fashion was common among West Coast electro hop artists, prior to N.W.A's popularization of gangsta rap. Eazy-E kept dissing Dre and Death Row on most of his songs until his [[AIDS]]-related death on March 26, 1995. Even Eazy-E's longtime friend MC Ren voiced his dislike for Eazy-E in 1994, calling Eazy-E a "big-head" and "wannabe mega-star", and even suggesting that N.W.A should reunite without Eazy-E.<ref>O'Connor, Christopher.

Eazy-E and MC Ren ended their feud shortly before the former's death in their 1995 duet '"[[Tha Muthaphukkin' Real]]" after two years of not talking to each other. All bad blood finally ceased within the rest of the group. Dr. Dre, MC Ren and Ice Cube later expressed their re-evaluated feelings to their old friend on 1998's "Ruthless for Life", 1999's "What's the Difference" and "[[Chin Check]]", 2000's "[[Hello (Ice Cube song)|Hello]]", 2006's "Growin' Up", and in the 2011 music video "[[I Need a Doctor]]".
