Modify the wording of the illness and death section

Right now there is a sentence that reads: "He announced his illness in a public statement on March 16, 1995. Wright allegedly lost his virginity at the age of twelve, and his promiscuous behavior resulted in not only the fatal disease, but also in seven children with six different women.[13][35][36]" in the Illness and Death section.

I think that the wording can be changed to leave out the moral judgement of Eazy-E's life having sex and dying from Aids. I think a more appropriate, and less damning wording towards victims of Aids, might be "He announced his illness in a public statement on March 16, 1995. Wright allegedly lost his virginity at the age of twelve, and had unprotected sex which lead to him contracting Aids.[13][35][36]"

We could then move the other children section to the end of "He was 30 years old." => "He was 30 years old and left behind seven children with six different women." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaneonabike (talkcontribs) 04:38, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Straight Outta Compton release date

I know many sources and the album itself list 1988 as the release date for the N.W.A album Straight Outta Compton, but Ice Cube has said that the album wasn't released until 1989. He said that in one interview from around 1997 and another from 2013. Since this page has been protected, I suggest the release date to be changed from 1988 to 1989. 2602:306:BDA9:8610:C000:26FE:DFED:BDB2 (talk) 04:50, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Google image search "Straight Outta Compton back album cover". Vinyl [1], cassettes [2], and CDs [3] read copyright 1988 Priority Records.HENDAWG229 (talk) 00:21, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

I agree that using Ice Cube's original interview makes way more sense. Given it is coming straight from the artist rather than from a Google Search. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/n-w-a/biography — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaneonabike (talkcontribs) 04:46, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
