Not for me.
More Ice Cube, oh boy
1/5. Nix für mich. Nicht ganz gehört
Heat, anthems, BLM end of black history month iconic end 3.9
Good continuity, solid beats, but gets monotonous, plus increasingly misogynist and trite.
It was okay. I don’t usually listen to hip hop/rap music
always liked cube, plus chuck d and flav are an awesome surprise - wasn't expecting to see them here
One of my favorite rap albums of all time. Bangers from start to finish.
A snapshot of racial tension in gangsta rap. Not my favorite Ice Cube album.
Groundbreaking but not my Favorite of his.
My knowledge on hip hop in general isn't strong, less so gangsta rap, even so it's obvious the relevance of this has only increased over time.
p aggressive - C
He's a badass, and so is this album
I loved this album. However, it was really disheartening to hear how little progress we've made in the country with the same issues from this album in '90 still being very prevalent today.
Good flow, but I couldn't make it through the violent/sexist/explicit tracks. Big yikes!
Really excellent. I had no preconceived relationship with Ice and this was a great surprise.
West coast is heavy in this one
Rap agressivo, fala bastante sobre raça e violência, causou empatia mas musicalmente não me agrada.
pretty damn good this is real rap
Noniinno, tätä samaa ysärigangstailua joka ei kyllä putoa edelleenkään yhtään. Ei jäänyt mitään mieleen enkä oikeastaan haluaisikaan jäävän.
Did not enjoy and did not finish.
Sadly, this is still relevant.
wish i had been into this at the time
2.5
Love this album. Social commentary, great tracks from start to end, and one that deserves a listen straight through.
Classic rap album.
Again, kind corny sounding because of the early 90s style. Lots of misogyny of course, but overall a decent enough record
I remember this being fire
Not really my thing, doesn't really hold up compared to other classics or more modern rap
Interesting to think that this album could have been produced by Dre. I think this album benefits a lot from the East Coast style production combined with Ice Cube's West Coast rap style. Every song is good, with Cube alternating between Cube attacking the beat and smoothly following behind it. The pervasive funk samples on this album really make it a breeze to listen to 4/5
Not that bad to be honest, violent and aggressive lyrics, would give this a 2.5 if I could
Old school hip-hop…I can appreciate it for its historic importance…but it‘s aweful!
Cool rhythm and flow, so dang much misogynism and talk about sex.
It's not my favorite flavor of hiphop but this album is solid. I mean, Ice Cube has always been ready to get up in faces and speak hard truths. That is very much on display here. Commentary on race, violence, inequality, culture, etc. is delivered with agressive poeticism. The biggest issue is that the beats are hella dated. SUPER dated. A related issue is that every track sounds so similar to the last that that my ears are worn out by track four.
There are times in this album when Cube goes off, and there are times when he settles into his slower delivery with lazy rhymes. He should have kept this thing to 45 minutes and cut out the corny fairy tale allusions. Best track: AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
sic(kkk)
50 minutes of classic hip-hop. Great sampling. Occasional mediocre songs, usually a track is great with brilliant elements throughout. Rivals Ill Communication, giving it a 3/5 instead a 4/5 because I think 3/5 is the true rating for both this and Ill Communication, would rather prefer to give it a 70-75/100.
ok
