5150: Home 4 tha Sick is a 1992 EP by Eazy-E, his first release after the break-up of N.W.A.. It was the last Ruthless record released through Priority.
The EP is notable for various reasons. The introduction is seemingly a response to Dr. Dre. "Neighborhood Sniper" begins with Eazy-E assassinating Rodney King, a sentiment matched in real life when Eazy defended King's police assailants. The track "Merry Muthaphukkin' Xmas" is notable for having introduced Buckwheat, Menajahtwa and Will 1X to the rap world.
