The album's title track and lead single 'Eazy-Duz-It', written by MC Ren, opens with a woman acclaiming Eazy-E's style. Glen Boyd of Blogcritics said that the album has 'Deep-ass bass lines, old-school funk samples, and plenty of street smart ghetto attitude are what powers this record.' Jerry Heller wrote that Eazy raps more up front on the album than he does on Straight Outta Compton, and insists that the album's lyrics contain more sexual humor than gangsta vibe. Dre and Yella meld together P-Funk, Def Jam-style hip hop, and the leftover electro sounds of mid-80s Los Angeles, creating a dense, funky, and thoroughly unique style of their own.' Birchmeier would also write that some songs-'Eazy Duz It', 'We Want Eazy', 'Eazy-er Said Than Dunn', and 'Radio'-are all heavily produced and have 'layers upon layers of samples and beats competing with Eazy-E's rhymes for attention.' Rapper and producer Kanye West also touted Dr. Jason Birchmeier from Allmusic gave a considerable amount of attention to the album's production, saying that 'Dr. Dre and DJ Yella, was praised by several critics.
