According to several Instagram posts, Eazyโ€™s new tombstone is more elaborate but contains the same text as the first one, โ€œWe Loved Him A Lot But God Loved Him More.โ€

The updated version, however, features his signature red logo, autograph, the title โ€œThe Godfather of Gangsta Rapโ€ written in Old English and several iconic photos of the late gangsta rap pioneer. Toward the bottom it reads, โ€œWe Put Compton On The Map.โ€
