Reviews Customer Reviews for Lethal Injection      Great talent ruined by questionable lyrics      Rating:      The title says it all. Ice Cube's undeniable talent was definitely misguided by his Afrocentrist and racist lyrics.     Customer Reviews for Lethal Injection Cd      Rhythm of the jinx      Rating:      The rhythm of the jinx or hoodoo music is ok. I use to listen to the album quite a bit when I was younger but as I get older I think this guy is just subliminal. I did not know you could jinx when you actually advertise yourself to the public or when responding to others comments not directed at them? the power of the jinx has gone too far. The beats are none other than subliminal it is what to be expected. Like all rap albums like this though when ice cube is 60 or 65 you will listen to probably Marvin Gaye or the Supremes, or anything Motown or Chess. Editorial Reviews for Lethal Injection Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Back-to-back tracks in the middle of Lethal Injection are all the proof we need that Ice Cube is a great talent. "What Can I Do?" opens with a strings-and-wah-wah motif from an early-'70s blaxploitation film and follows with a "Superfly" tale about a high-level drug dealer. Next up is "Lil Ass Gee," the story of a 12-year-old wanna-be gangster. Just a few years ago he was playing with G.I. Joe dolls, and now he's playing with real guns and making real babies. On both numbers, the rapper's rich, resonant baritone bleeds into the synth strings with a sense of fatefulness that's chilling to hear. But Ice Cube's career is a tragedy. A mesmerizing storyteller, a seductive vocalist, and a brilliantly inventive producer of aural collages, the Compton homeboy has squandered his talent on a vision so poisoned by right-wing racism and sexism that it has lost all credibility. --Geoffrey Himes
