(3/26/02, 1 p.m. ET) -- The late hip-hop kingpin Eazy-E is being memorialized with a DVD/CD and comic book release, Impact Of A Legend, today (March 26), which marks the seventh anniversary of his death from an AIDS-related virus.

The Impact Of A Legend DVD features a documentary including interviews with N.W.A. members, a biography, interactive timeline, discography, photo gallery, and TV appearances. Also included are 10 classic videos including "We Want Eazy" and "Real Compton City G's," as well as karaoke lyrics and music for popular Eazy-E songs.

The Godfather Of Gangsta Rap EP contains a video game titled Hittin Switchez and six new unreleased songs; plus two skits produced by Rhythm D, who worked with Eazy-E.

Additionally, the Ruthless Records package includes a comic book, Eazy-E: Straight Outta Compton, which tells Eazy's story and promotes AIDS awareness. A portion of the proceeds from Impact Of A Legend, which sells for $24.98, will benefit the Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
