Eazy-Er Said Than Dunn was one of Eazy E's first and most loved singles apart from N.W.A. It had no explicit lyrics and was listener friendly for the radio. Dr. Dre's part in the song was the memorable intro and his production by using "Scratching" by the Magic Disco Machine and "The Breakdown" by Rufus Thomas. The video shows N.W.A. at a club playing the single to the crowd and wandering through Compton. Although the song was profanity free and meant for the radio, Eazy E still drops the fact that he has "gotta keep cursin" and saying "Imma gangsta". However many listeners look past that. This song was used for 2004's GTA: San Andreas.
Although the entire song is rapped by Eazy, the video shows the whole crew and mentions Dr. Dre and MC Ren in lines such as "My homey Dre is a doctor not a lawyer" and "Yo Ren get the gat show'em where it's at". The single was featured with others such as "Boyz-N-the-Hood", "Radio", and "Ruthless Villain" to name a few.
