| | Ice Cube Amerikkka's Most Wanted CD Ice Cube Discography of CDs
(3 Customer Reviews)
As one of the MCs in the classic crew NWA, Ice Cube made a name for himself at an early age, helping to pioneer West Coast hip-hop. Ironically though, Cube's debut solo album, AMERIKKKA'S MOST WANTED, is deep-rooted in fast-paced tracks that are reminiscent of the East Coast sound that help define Public Enemy. In fact, it was the Bomb Squad who produced most of the album. Tracks like "The Nigga ya Love to Hate" and "Turn Off the Radio" are high-energy gems that show the fiery delivery that helped make Cube one of the industry's true stars. Recommended tracks include "Once Upon a Time in the Projects," "Rollin' Wit the Lench Mob," and "Endangered Species (Tales From the Darkside)," the last of which has a guest appearance from Chuck D. AMERIKKKA'S MOST WANTED is truly one of the defining albums of the rap age; an instant classic that's sure to stand the test of time.
This reissue contains the EP KILL AT WILL as a bonus.

| | D O C No One Can Do It Better CD (1989)
Amerikkka's Most Wanted CD music
$8.79 An early landmark of West Coast rap, the D.O.C.'s debut album, No One Can Do It Better, remains sorely underheard today, largely because the car crash that destroyed the rapper's voice also cut short his time in the spotlight before he'd had a chance to really cement his reputation among the general public. When No One Can Do It Better was released the West Coast had just started to break nationally thanks to the gangsta movement and wasn't known for much outside of N.W.A and Ice-T. In the D.O.C., however, the scene found a new level of credibility: a highly skilled battle rhymer who could hold his own with any East Coast lyrical virtuoso. Though his chops are rarely mentioned in the same breath, the ...

| | Ice Cube Death Certificate CD (1991) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Amerikkka's Most Wanted songs
$11.39 Once a member of N.W.A., Ice Cube has consistently put out hits and, throughout his music and film career, has remained admired by the hip-hop community. Rough and rugged, but true and to the point, only Ice Cube can address certain issues facing black, urban America, and he does just that on DEATH CERTIFICATE.
DEATH CERTIFICATE is co-produced by Ice Cube with the help of The Boogie Men and Sir Jinx, and the beats they come up with are hard, funky and fast, resembling Cube's own energy. George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" is revived through "My Summer Vacation" and, along with Cube's threatening lyrics, gives the track a funky, gangsta-party appeal. Ice Cube sums up ...

Amerikkka's Most Wanted album
$9.99 In 1993, Ice Cube released his third solo album, LETHAL INJECTION. By this time, the dominance of the West Coast rap scene had started to fade, as East Coast hip-hop artists like the Wu Tang Clan and the Notorious B.I.G. started to pull listeners away from the left coast. Hanging tough, Ice Cube released another masterful performance ...

| | Mat Marucci Ulterior Motif CD (1998) (Import) Canada
Amerikkka's Most Wanted songs
$15.75 Mat Marucci is a veteran percussionist deserving of wider recognition. Utilizing a strong quartet with either Doug Webb or John Tchicai, who both double on soprano and tenor saxes, Marucci keeps things interesting with his crisp brushwork and a wide variety of material. Highlights include his original pulsating, post-bop title track and a haunting version of Billy Strayhorn's "Blood Count," featuring Tchicai's suitably maudlin tenor sax. The only disappointment is the inclusion of Sheryl Crow's huge pop hit "All I Wanna Do"; despite Marucci's best efforts, this lame song doesn't have enough of a melody to serve as a convincing jazz vehicle. ~ Ken Dryden
