Over the weekend, the NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton became a massive hit and revitalized the legacy of the late rapper Eazy-E, who passed away in 1995 due to complications from AIDS.
Before his death, Eazy managed to make amends with several music industry figures with whom he had feuded over the years, including Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
But it seems one giant in West Coast hip hop never got over his hatred for Eazy, resulting in a horrendously tasteless joke and a video that began going viral on social media this morning.
The clip shows Suge Knight making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live back in 2003.
Knight – fresh from a stint in prison – jokes about Kimmel’s bullet proof vest and assures the host that his preferred method of killing someone is to inject them with AIDS-infected blood.
"That’s the slow death," Suge says while chuckling. "That Eazy-E thing."
Currently, Knight is in prison on murder charges following a hit-and-run incident back in January. We think one count of making an awful "joke" about a long-dead rival should be added to the list of charges.
