Eazy E - Temporary Insanity album produced by Dre???

Anybody know what became of this album?  It was around 1991/1992 when this was supposed to come out...while NWA was still intact...did this ever leak, or any tracks ever leak??

I thought 'Temporary Insanity' became '5150: Home 4 Tha Sick'

"5150: Home 4 The Sick" was the maxi-single for "Temporary Insanity." I think the big misconception about this album is that it's an actual completed album that has never been released.  In fact, what happened is this was a project that over time just became a different project.  Eazy-E originally intended to release "Temporary Insanity" but was sidetracked by the whole beef with Dre, so he changed his next release to "It's On Dr. Dre 187 Um Killa"  This release, in itself, was supposed to be an e.p. for the double album "Str8 off the Streetz of Muthaphukkin' Compton I and II."  Yella has said basically the same thing in a couple different interviews.  The material that ended up on the one disc of "Str8 off the Streetz of Muthaphukkin' Compton" that they did release, were tracks that he'd collected from over the years.  Had Eazy lived long enough, most of the tracks that would have appeared on "Str8 off the Streetz.." would have probably been new stuff.   But as Yella and Julio G have both said, Eazy was notorious for keeping volumes of instrumentals that he wanted to use, but put off actually recording the lyrics. I don't have any idea exactly what tracks would have been on there, but I have a feeling most of what was recorded for "Temporary Insanity" has probably already been released on other projects.  There's really not that many fully completed unreleased Eazy tracks left.  There's still a few.  Hopefully they'll release them someday.

Read the interview of Eazy in the Source. The one where he's on the cover hopping a car.  He talks about a lot of tracks.

I AM LOOKIN FOR IT, I HEAR ABOUT IT A WHILE BACK BUT, I FORGOT ABOUT IT TIL NOW.

[tonyscarbones]

i remember reading an interveiw or sumthin and eazy said one side of the album will be produced by dr. dre and the other side will be produced by dj quik

[LAZY]

Eazy was also suppose 2 have a solo in 1990 but temporarly insanity was suppose 2 be produced by dre and released after NWAs album, thats why u see eazy strapped in a straight jacket in alot of pictures, he was startin promotion for that.. then dre left and he released 5150.. the version of Only If U Want It is censored if u havnt noticed..

So was "Eazy Street" the last track Dre produced for Eazy? That beat is sinister.

i doubt Dre did any producing on Temporary Insanity. when they started work on that Dre was already gone from Ruthless. Big Hutch had alot to do with it and so did Bobcat, a known producer who did shit for niggas like 2pac and Ice Cube. Eazy did 5150 and it was the closest thing to Temporary Insanity. The tracks that wound up on Str8 Off Tha Streetz was songs recorded between '92 and '95. All kinds of leftover tracks who were finished by Yella. Eazy wasnt like 2pac. He didnt leave many unreleased songs. My guess is they have less then 20 unreleased songs lying around and most of them are far from being finished. Rhythm D tried to put some of this out with putting out Eazy-E's Godfather EP. It had alot of guests on it, but it was still very good.

And still without dre,eazy went plat.every single time....hell 5150 was 2x itself.

 This is just speculation, but I'd guess "24 Hours to Live," "First Power," "Sorry Louie," and Black Nigga Killa" were all recorded for "Temporary Insanity." Probably a few of those tracks from that were on "The Godfather of Gangsta Rap" cd as well.  But I'm not sure.  That would be a good question for the next time someone interview Dj Yella, Rhythm D, Hutch, or someone else who was producing for E around the time.  I agree with C-Sicc too, that Dre probably didn't produce anything for the album.  I think by the time any real work was started on the album. Dre had already left Ruthless for Death Row.
