Unseen Photo of Eazy-E Skating Venice Beach in a Bulletproof Vest

Here's an Unseen Photo of Eazy-E Skating Venice Beach in a Bulletproof Vest

BY  27 JAN, 2016

This is one of those things that's amazing on multiple levels: a photo of the late Eazy-E skating in Venice Beach.Ithaka Darin Pappas shot it in 1989, when Venice's locals included skaters like Christian Hosoi, Eric Dressen, Jesse Martinez, and Block. At the time, NWA was reaching the height of its popularity. Eazy-E—born Eric Wright—is seen in a bulletproof vest. 
As Pappas notes in the comments, the photo was never published. He unearthed it when he was looking for another shot for Rolling StoneEazy-E died of complications related to AIDS some six years later, in 1995.
