(Radio.com) Kendrick Lamar has penned a moving tribute to the late N.W.A. rapper Eazy-E for Paper Magazine. In the piece Kendrick remembers the first time he ever saw Eazy- E on television and how that moment changed his life forever.

"I remember when I was five or six years old, waking up one morning and seeing this guy bust through the TV screen, rapping over some song called 'We Want Eazy' -- I think the concept of the video was that he was actually in jail and he had to get to his show and the only way to get to his concert was to film him from jail, and he eventually busted through the jail and came onstage," Kendrick says.

"I remember looking at that video and just feeling like, 'Man, this dude feels like an action superhero.' Little did I know, Eazy-E came from my same neighborhood in Compton." Read more here.
