Reviews Customer Reviews for AmeriKKKa S Most Wanted The Nigga Ya Love to Hate Rating: Ice Cube's debut solo album, Amerikkka's Most Wanted hits ten times harder than Straight Outta Compton. Part of the reason is that on his debut Ice Cube isn't just glorifying the gangsta life, but addresses it as part of everyday lfe. He also addresses those people who let this type of life continue on. He also singles out sell outs, racial profiling, and r&b stations who continue to put down hip hop. Another reason why this album is better than Straight Outta Compton is the production. Produced by The Bomb Squad (Public Enemy's production team), the production sounds angrier than anything heard by NWA. All in all, Amerikkka's Most Wanted is a classic album and proved that Ice Cube could make it on his own without NWA.

Customer Reviews for AmeriKKKa S Most Wanted Cd No One Spits Harder Than Cube! Rating: Ice Cube broke apart from N.W.A. in the late 1980's and wasted little time in releasing his debut, Amerikkka's Most Wanted in 1990. He hits a home run with this album. His vicious, pissed off flow just rips through the stereo and hits like a runaway freight train. His political lyrics, along with 2Pac, were very revolutionary for the time. Ice Cube delivers a knockout punch, literally, with this landmark record.
Editorial Reviews for AmeriKKKa S Most Wanted Audio Cd Amazon.com Cube took a lot of the heat for N.W.A's more excessive moments, maybe because he was the best rapper in the group, and his solo debut reacts by pushing the envelope even further. To the strains of a carpet-bombing Bomb Squad soundtrack, he adopts a way-over-the-top persona: an amoral, sawed-off-shotgun-wielding, 40-ounce-swilling, gang-banging, reflexively defiant ball of rage. If you can't see the funny side, it can be tough to take--"You Can't Fade Me" is especially loathsome taken at face value--but it's pretty clear that he's got some perspective (see "It's A Man's World," his wry head-to-head with Yo-Yo). Also, his indictments of institutionalized racism are tart, savage, and dead on the mark. --Douglas Wolk
