Lethal Injection by Ice Cube Does anybody have or heard this album. I have Cubes first 3 solo albums and they're brillant, hip hop classics, but how is Lethal Injection? wwww.myspace.com/chessvalentine | |

Oh man, you still haven't gotta hold of 'Lethal Inection' 
 Get yourself a copy and make sure you got the volume control on HIGH for the "Intro", trust! 
You might as well leave the volume settings as they are too coz the track straight after that is a banger!..... "Really Doe", one of my favourites on the album along with "Bop Gun (One Nation)" ft. the one and only George Clinton  (funnily enough that took the longest to grow on me, but now it's funk!  )
I do feel the token 'laid-back', 'chilled' joint "You Know How We Do It" is a bit too reminiscent of "It Was A Good Day" from the 'Predator' album, but still a nice mellow tune to kick back to. However, there were some absolute crazy ass remixes of that particular track being spun in hip hop shops and clubs around that time. Unfortunately, the ol' brain fails to re-call who they were actually done by, being so long ago now and all 
There's plenty more top drawer tracks this album has to offer, I'll just leave you to discover them for yourself. A word of warning though. As you may already know with Cube, the flip side to his unique vocal and lyrical skills is sometimes spattered with extreme and harsh political views, uneasy listening for the timid ear. This isn't in anyway trying to justify some of the "dated" and perhaps "not so dated" rhetoric on this album (or typically any Cube album), but one must remember to realise the era, musical style and diurnal social climate that Lethal Injection hails from. I'm sure you're wise enough to differentiate the relevant from the irrelevant yourself on this 
Enjoy yourself

I remember watching that video when it first came out. Oh yeah, definitely but as I said some stuff maybe relevant and some things may not be. It all depends on the listener's subjectivity (as with ALL music, in my opinion ).
Put your ears on alert when "What Can I DO?" is playing..... You'll hear a bone fide musically genius being name checked

Lethal Injection is great. Go get it.
Check out the tracks "Cave B***h," "You Know How We Do It," "Ghetto Bird" and "Bop Gun (One Nation) (feat. George Clinton)." It's worth the price of the CD for "Bop Gun," IMO. Plus, it's recently been remastered with extra bonus mixes of "What Can I Do?" "You Know How We Do It" and "Li'l A** Gee." | |

Yes,get a copy of this.It's hard-hitting. I'm not an advocate of racism or violence,but that opening skit makes me laugh. I don't take it seriously. It is a sick lagh,though. "I'm a pig..so,magic elixir I swill" | |
