"Luv 4 Dem Gangsta'z", also known as "Luv 4 Dem G'z", is a 1994 single by Eazy-E from the Beverly Hills Cop III soundtrack.[1] It became the final solo single released by Eazy-E prior to his death the following year. It was later included on Eazy-E's posthumous compilation, Featuring…Eazy-E (2007).
The song was released in 1994 and was written by Eazy-E, Kevyn "Ruthless Dirty Red" Carter, and Doctor Jam. It was produced by Doctor Jam and Eazy-E. The guitar solo was performed by Slash. "Luv 4 Dem Gangsta'z" is notable for being the only single by Eazy-E to not be released for his label, Ruthless Records, as it was released for MCA Records.[1][2] "Luv 4 Dem Gangsta'z" peaked at No. 1 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart and No. 3 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.[3]
Due to the aforementioned differences in labels, "Luv 4 Dem Gangsta'z" initially did not appear on any of Eazy-E's solo releases, such as the 1995 compilation Eternal E or 1996 studio album Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton. The song eventually appeared, however, on the 2007 compilation Featuring…Eazy-E.
The song is commonly used in Eazy-E remixes which started in the late 2000s.[citation needed][4] The song was covered by the Insane Clown Posse with affiliate Cold 187um on The Mighty Death Pop!'s bonus album Smothered, Covered & Chunked. It was later sampled in 2014 by Sander Van Doorn and Firebeatz for their song "Guitar Track".
