Wicked which is the albumвЂ™s 2nd single was basically crunk music before it was labeled crunk music. This is Cube at his finest proving that he still is one of the games nicest story tellers and remains as his biggest hit to date. He flipped the classic Isley Brothers beat into a hip hop classic as he talks about a good day without drama. He continues to remain as the вЂњNigga Ya Love to HateвЂќ as tracks such as We had to Tear This Mutha Up which addresses the 92 riots, The Predator where he talks about corruption in the US, and Who Got the Camera where Cube plays the role of a black man being harassed by Police(like that of Rodney King) can pretty much send chills down the spines of protestors and politicians.Д«ut the albumвЂ™s dopest moments also occur when we approach the albumвЂ™s singles, It was a Good Day is Ice Cube at his lyrical finest. Basically the Wrong Nigga to Fuck with Part too While the Predator may not be as hot as Death Certificate or Amerikkas Most, The album nevertheless remains as CubeвЂ™s most underrated in my opinion as he basically continued where he left off Death Certificate on the albumвЂ™s opening song When Will They Shoot, This is Cube at his dopest lyrically and at his most angriest, The song is very in your face and hardcore. It was the right time for Cube to step up and he did by releasing his third solo album titled The Predator. making constant decisions effecting the black community and other issues plaguing the black community. ItвЂ™s safe to say that Ice Cube was a HUGE threat to White Amerikkka and the release of a new Ice Cube album couldnвЂ™t have been released at a better time because at the time where the Rodney King beating were making headlines around the world, The Rioting of angry black people in Los Angeles due to the unfair verdict and not to mention George Bush Sr. Both of those albumвЂ™s were very powerful influentially because Cube was talking about some heavy shit, He approached topics that many rappers at the time were afraid to touch on whenever he was calling out money-grubbing sellout/house niggas on True to the game, Constant harassment of blacks from Koreans in convience stores on North Korea, or brazenly labeling Whites as вЂњHorny lil DevilsвЂќ. вЂњCheck Yo SelfвЂќ was also ridiculously successful, selling 500,000 copies and peaking at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100.When it comes to mention Ice Cube and his best albums, Albums such as Amerikkas Most Wanted and Death Certificate are the first to come to mind. Outside of commercial success, this album is forever a part of pop culture history voted #8 on VH1вЂs Top Rap Songs list. The track peaked #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1993 and sold 600,000 copies. The former is to date Ice CubeвЂ™s most successful single. This album also boasted two #1 hit singles, вЂњIt Was a Good DayвЂќ and вЂњCheck Yo SelfвЂќ. Regardless, The Predator is still slightly toned downВ from his prior two releases AmeriKKKaвЂ™s Most Wanted and Death Certificate, which you can by the titles more outwardly push the militant mindset that Ice Cube has as a recording artist.

Even his more peaceful tracks have an air of criminal paranoia about them. Every song has an element of the type of violence thatВ was goingВ on in the hood between and against Black people incorporated through interludes or references. The mood of this album was set by the era of violence that was going on in Los Angeles, California.
