"Eazy-Duz-It" was produced by Dr. Dre with co-production by DJ Yella, with Eazy-E's production debut.

Slim Thug sampled the line "...thug from around the way..." to make the song "Thug" from his Boss of All Bosses album. Also the song's line was sampled by both Memphis, Tennessee acts Three 6 Mafia in "Ridin' Spinners", and Yo Gotti on his song "Thug From Around The Way".

Logic also sampled the song's intro in the creation of the instrumental for the song "Under Pressure".[1] The intro has been cut short and looped to create the instrumental.
