8. Eazy-E
The famous American rapper who was part of N.W.A. back in the day may have left this world too early, at only 30 years, back in 1995, but his legacy remains. While you may be wondering why he’s one of the most searched artists in 2015, you have to remember that the movie Straight Outta Compton came out earlier this year, telling the story of the rap group he starred in, alongside Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, as well as others.
In the movie, Eric Lynn Wright, AKA Eazy-E, is played by Jason Mitchell who was praised by critics for his performance. He even won several awards for the portrayal, which shows that Eazy-E’s story was well painted.
