Reviews Customer Reviews for The Predator      one of his best      Rating:      Ice Cube drops "The Predator" on everyone and with the hit songs "It Was A Good Day", "Check Yo Self". He raps about all that's going in that era, crooked cops, politics and so much more. He's able to do it with a swagger and confidence that most can't even duplicate. Along with "Death Certificate" and "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" this one is right up there with some of the greatest albums put out in the era. Also of note are remixes for "Check Yo Self" and "It Was A Good Day". The videos make the songs even better especially with It Was A Good Day and the ending that still has folks talking about and checking this one out. It only served to put that song in people's minds. Also songs like "Don't Trust Em" sampling BBD's "Poison" (about females and the game that they can get you with) and "I'm a Wetcha" being about taking it to some unsuspecting individual. "Gangsta Fairytale" which is rap take on the different childhood stories that we are used to like Little Miss Muffet, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and the seven dwares, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, 3 Little Pigs and many others. It's an interesting song and how its incorporated into the song (and day to day life) make it that much better. An excellent effort by Cube and one that people are still feeling and enjoying all these years later.     Customer Reviews for The Predator Cd      Thers no stopping what cant be stopped!!!      Rating:      After crushing NWA on a solo tip on his monumental album Death Certificate, Ice Cube continues the conscious path on this great follow-up album The Predator. Standout Tracks: WHEN WILL THEY SHOOT, WICKED, THE PREDATOR, WE HAD TO TEAR THIS MOTHERF***** UP, DIRTY MACK, WHO GOT THE CAMERA, IT WAS A GOOD DAY, 24 WIT AN L etc. Filler: Gangsta Fairytale 2 falls short and Check Yo Self is not better than the remix. Bottom Line: Ice Cube proves his importance to the rap game with this dope follow up The Predator. The socially and politically conscious rhymes over rough sounding production plus the informative skits are the reasons why this album stayed in my Cd player. Ice Cube's earlier albums are important contributions to hip hop and if you dont understand the message then maybe you shouldnt be listening to it. Tony Yayo, Lil Jon and D4L is more of your style. As for this album its cd collection material all the way!
