Some rappers are heaven sent / but "Self Destruction" don't pay the fuckin' rent / so you can either dope or get your ass a job / I'd rather roll with the muthafuckin' Lench Mob!These Ice Cube lyrics just randomly popped into my head while I was at work today. They are from the song "Rollin' wit' the Lench Mob" off of his debut solo album Amerikkka's Most Wanted. I always remembered these lyrics because Cube was more or less putting down KRS-One's Stop The Violence Movement. To my knowledge this is the only time someone said anything about KRS-One and he just let it go.
There was a 4 to 5 year period where Ice Cube the best, most influential, and most feared rapper in the world. If he is not in your top 10 greatest of all time, you need your head examined.
he also had arguably the best "first 3 or 4 solo albums" stretch out of anyone ever.
ReplyDeleteAmeriKKKa's Most Wanted (1990), Death Certificate (1991), The Predator (1992), Lethal Injection (1993). That's an incredible streak.
