It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa[a] is the second and final EP released by rapper Eazy-E during his lifetime. It was released on October 19, 1993[5] by Relativity Records, Epic Records and Eazy-E's Ruthless Records, largely to answer Dr. Dre's debut solo album The Chronic, which, massively popular that year, repeatedly attacks Eazy. Eazy's most successful EP or LP, it sold 110,600 copies in its first week, and peaked at number 5 on the Billboard 200 as well as at number 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[6] In 1994, it was certified double-platinum, over 2 million copies sold. It remains the only Hip-Hop Gangsta Rap EP to go multiplatinum.[7]

To follow up his 1992 LP 5150: Home 4 tha Sick, Eazy-E had planned a double album named Temporary Insanity.[8] Yet to exploit Dre's spotlight and his May 1993 single "Fuck wit Dre Day", which mainly disses him, Eazy changed plans. On this EP, shots at Dre are absent from only three tracks: "Gimmie That Nutt", "Any Last Werdz", and "Boyz N Tha Hood (G-Mix)". The lead single, "Real Muthaphuckkin G's"—which, alike "Any Last Werdz", carried a music video—became Eazy's most successful single.[b]
