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.

if that's the case
I have 5150: Home 4 Tha Sick somewhere in my collection
-
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.

Someone should hook that up if they have it
-
I AM LOOKIN FOR IT, I HEAR ABOUT IT A WHILE BACK BUT, I FORGOT ABOUT IT TIL NOW.
-
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
-
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. 8)

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.
-
In a clip of the old Arsenio Hall show, NWA was performing that night, and Dre was the one talking about it...so it would seem to me that he had done something on it..here it is on youtube.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn1gy4KUNjg

i'm tellin you
i remember hearing or reading that one side was gonna be produced by dre and the other by quik
becuz it was gonna be after niggaz4life and sum of it was either done or dre was obligated to do it and quik was gonna finish it along with the penthouse players clique album
and ur right about the straight jacket promotions
-
I'm not saying that Dr. Dre producing for it wasn't the original plan, or that it wasn't discussed. I'm just saying that it's my personal opinion that he probably never ended up completing any tracks for it before he left for Death Row. When Dr. Dre was still on the label, I'm sure it was the plan, very early on, that he would produce the album. Eazy would have been crazy to not use him while he was on the Record label, but I dout that whatever few tracks were completed were produced by Dr. Dre. Dj Quik is a possiblity because his group "Penthouse Player's Clique" were signed to Ruthless around that time. Their album was released in 1992 which would have probably been the time when Eazy was recording tracks for it. I'm guessing other production probably was handled by Big Hutch aka Cold 187, Bobcat, Naughty By Nature, Dj Yella, and maybe Homicide (especially if I'm right about that "Black Nigga Killa" track.) Rhythm D started producing for Ruthless right after Eazy dropped the "5150" Maxi-Single, but I doubt he produced anything for it, because I'm pretty sure he went right to work on "It's On Dr. Dre, 187Um Killa."

Props for that Arsenio Hall clip. I've got that shit recorded on VHS!!
-
Nah Dre DID produce this album. I don't know how much of it was completed but they were working on it while working on Niggaz4Life. Dre menchions it real quik on this clip. It's a behind the scence of 100miles & runnin video from YO MTV Raps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR22Hzj3TKw&NR
But the reason I say Dre had worked on it is because a few years ago there was an interview with The D.O.C. where he talked about it. He was asked what his favorite Dre material was. And he said his favorite's were the one's he had done with Eazy for Temporary Insanity. My guess is when Dre left he took them with him. Eazy still had plans to finish the record and recorded traks for it but the whole beef with Dre blew up and he switched to that. . .

Well, we know none of the tracks that were released on 5150: Home for the Sick were produced by Dre, and they were all intened to be included in "Temporary Insanity." But again, I'm not saying that Dre wasn't at all involved in producing this album. If they were hyping it while NWA was still together then Dre would have obviously been involved in some capacity. But what I'm saying is, Dre definately did not produce the entire album. And it's likely that if he did any production for the album, most of the tracks would have been incomplete (either lacking Eazy's vocals or not even a completed instrumental). I'm not saying they all would be but probably most. And while I can't say this for a fact, I think it's safe to assume that in all likelihood Eazy would have also had his same in-house producers that worked on "5150" also work on other tracks for the album. And there was also probably a good chance that Naughty By Nature, Bobcat, and in my opinion Homicide may have also contributed tracks as they were also producing for Eazy-E. Likewise with Quik because his group The P.P.C. were signed to Ruthless at the time.
