Hit: 5 Stars
While Amerikkka's Most Wanted is his best album overall, Death Certificate comes close to taking that crown. Although at the time of its release it was looked at for its recial stances and controversial lyrics, Death Certififcate proved that Ice Cube could definitely get our attentions. Divided into two sides ("Death Side" and "Life Side"), this album had more of a message than Cube's first album. The Death Side has all the showings of a gangsta rap album, with tracks about gang expansion ("My Summer Vacataion"), adventures of the Lench Mob ("Steady Mobbin"), and STDs in the ghetto ("Look Who's Burnin"). The Life Side is bit more controversial, with songs about the US government ("I Wanna Kill Sam"), sellouts ("True to the Game"), and peace between Bloods and Crips ("Color Blind"). The two most controversial tracks however belong to "Black Korea", which spews venom on Asian Americans, and "No Vaseline", which is a viscious diss aimed at NWA. This album pretty much foretold everything that would ufold in the LA Riots. Anybody who weren't shocked at the LA Riots had probably been listening to Death Certificate. Either way you look at it, Death Certificate is an album that deserves to be heard, even though Amerikkka's Most Wanted is still his best album
Death Certificate Poster
With benefit of hindsight, we now understand that most rappers are indeed earnest, but few intend their words to be taken with the same weight as a heartfelt proclamation by a guitar-strumming folkie. Ice Cube's third solo release, taken the wrong way, is a hateful tract full of misogyny, anti-Semitism, homophobia, and violently prejudicial remarks toward just about every other ethnic group; anyone missed in this skein was an oversight. However, with the exception of some choice words for NWA's former manager, Cube's remarks are best seen as caricatures--well, OK, grotesques--rather than perspectives. His spoken intros and the way in which the songs broke into episodes broadly hinted at Ice Cube's move into film. Years later, it's easier to ignore the hateful spew and admire the formal innovations featured on this recording, which helped make Ice Cube into a multimedia star. --Martin JohnsonRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
