    Jason and the rest of the cast was amazing! The only thing that I felt was missing was them showcasing when Eazy went at Dre and Snoop on “Real MF G’s”. That scene would’ve been crazy!

    He did such a good job as Eazy, I'm glad they went with him, Lil Eazy looked the part, but this guy was able to bring some acting depth to the role, and Lil Eazy, was super positive and said they gave him a fair shot in his most recent interview with Dub C

    Not many ppl mention this film, but I loved his role in Barry. I know his character wasn't all that main but after that invisible man basketball scene his character's presence was established, he really played that role- I wonder how much was improv on set and off-script. Hell of an actor, definitely under rated in today's time.

    Lil Eazy feeling some kind of way about not getting the part always felt stupid to me.
