Lethal Injection is like the rebirth. In his previous albums, Ice Cube was VERY political and kind of lost the touch of the gangsta. I state this as his rebirth, resurrection because Ice Cube is nothing but a straight up gangsta, the wrong nigga to f*ck wit.
I can't stress just how incredible this album is. Even though it's Ice Cube's most underrated and ignored album, it's one of the tightest gangsta rap albums I've heard. The production in this kicks more ass than a donkey. It's incredible, you won't believe it. Take a look a Ghetto Bird, a track produced by one of my favorite rap producers, QD3 (son of Quincy Jones). It makes you wonder, "how the hell did this guy come up with a wicked as beat like this?" You won't believe what you hear when you hear that song, I can honestly say that's one of the best gangsta rap beats I've heard.
The songs are incredible. Ice Cube is still writing raw rhymes and still is causing major havoc in society. Ghetto Bird is a street slang for helicopters from the law enforcement. His lyrics are very true, which makes this song even better. Really Doe is an alright track, I just don't like the chorus where the women are singing as it is REAL annoying. Despite that, the beat is very eerie and chilling and Ice Cube's voice is very rough that blends in with the beat well. You Know How We Do It is one of the most laid-back songs Ice Cube has done. An excellent song. One song I loved is Cave B*tch, a song that truly speaks the truth. How many white girls are out there, trying to be black? Doesn't that fact annoy you because it sure as hell annoys me. It's the follow-up from his classic Horny Lil' Devil (on Death Certificate) and the beat is very, very heavy. Other tracks I really enjoyed were Enemy, Down for Whatever and When I Get to Heaven. The skits in Enemy and When I Get to Heaven is funny but points out something for the world.
Lethal Injection is an album not to be ignored on. Probably Ice Cube's third best CD, I don't understand why hardly anyone enjoys this CD. It's not a rap classic but sure as hell is a good album.
