"double album titled Temporary Insanity [ 3] intended for release in January 1993. [ 4]
Critical reception Entertainment Weekly ' sDavid Browne viewed it as Eazy-E's "most musically varied and enjoyable album" where "he leaves our consciousness the same way he entered — rough, raunchy, embattled, and utterly unapologetic." [ 5]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted "... Eazy-E sounds revitalized, but the music simply isn't imaginative. Instead of pushing forward and creating a distinctive style, it treads over familiar gangsta territory, complete with bottomless bass, whining synthesizers, and meaningless boasts." [ 10]
The album was certified gold on May 20, 1996, selling over 500,000 copies.
