In this clip, Albert Hughes reminisces on his time with Eazy-E. He recalls noticing Eazy's declining health, suggesting Eazy frequently suffered vomiting fits, lending a distinct change to his appearance. Albert's twin brother, Allen, even suggested to Eazy he might have AIDS. This memory invoked a wave of emotion when friends recalled this story following Eazy's death from AIDS-related complications, as it insinuated Eazy might have known about his diagnosis far earlier. Albert denounced conspiracy theories about Eazy's death and noting Eazy's promiscuous lifestyle and reluctance to use condoms, which he admitted in a Howard Stern interview. The late HIV-positive rapper's lifestyle, Hughes suggested, fanned his chances of contracting the disease, comparing him to basketball player Magic Johnson, who also contracted HIV around the same time but had access to medication.
