This is a sincere and straightforward question. This used to make me double take constantly because the first two letters of my name are ez and sometimes people call me Ez.
For those of you wondering who the fuck I am and why should I care and why should you explain something as random and trivial as this.. You don't have to. Like I said, It's a sincere question. I like and "attempt" to produce dubstep, and I like (some) and and attempt to produce brostep (hangs head in shame), and a variety of other stuff as well. I'm just a wandering student trying to fit different pieces of the puzzle together.
Random incidental note. I fucking hate the "I'm angry and I'm attempting to rape your face with a speaker cabinet because my mommy didn't love me." midrangey stuff. Midrange is cool and all but overly angry music makes me want to punch ducks. Which isn't cool.

Your only allowed to say Ez and Easy when you've listened to all Dubstep Allstars cd's
Nah its not limited to dubstep, its just another term for a greeting, which spans all genes and even music.

So something like "let's have an easy time together between us"? I guess that would be logical.. It sounds like a very jamaican patois thing to say. Kind of like saying "take it easy" as a greeting instead of a farewell.. Cool. Asked and answered.. Thanks!

Yeah it is just a shortened version of Take it Easy.
Dubstep is also a pretty relaxed genre, and has roots in dub and reggae. But like Brasco said it is said by pretty much anybody from any culture....not just limited to dubstep.

Same concept.
Also depends on the context.
People say 'safe' as a quick, short greeting with not much else, like an acknowledgement.
People also sign off using 'safe' as a goodbye term.
Context son, all about context.

Like a fair few words throw about nowadays Easy and safe come from gang culture (proper gang culture not people acting all gangsta).
Safe and easy being greetings the long hand of each would be along the lines of, 'hey, everything safe, no feds or rivals about?'
'Hey hows it going, everything easy (ie not had a tough day on the streets)'
Not a gangsta myself, far from it but this is where the words have their roots.
Was going to do an essay on street slang etymology next year at uni actually.

And why do the kids say bad when they mean good? I hope someone can explain all this slang for us.
