This ...Remember when I said that Cube terrified me? This album cover only confirmed what my young brain already thought: that Ice Cube would gladly kill me if I looked at him wrong. While very short, this is still a very effective record. While "Jackin For Beats" has never been one of my favorite Cube songs, I appreciate it for its concept. The fully realized version of "Get Off My Dick..." is great. "Dead Homiez" is still effective today, but upon its initial release there was nothing like it. I thought it was genius and Cube pulls off exploring emotions while still coming off like he will gladly beat you down in an alley. "The Product" for me has always been the forgotten gem from Cube's early work, one of his best all-time tracks that serves as a perfect segue between his street tales of his first album and his takes on politics and community that would drive "Death Certificate."Biff Pocarobahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963683576828172145noreply@blogger.com
