Ice Cube’s 4th solo album and like the previous albums, it was a commercial hit, however it was heavily criticized for what many saw as Cube’s pandering to gangsta rap, and toning down of the socio-political content found on his earlier efforts. The albums standing has increased over time. It includes two of Cube’s most popular singles; the “You Know How We Do It”, and the Funkadelic-sampling “Bop Gun (One Nation)”.

The third solo album by Ice Cube. Released within months after the 1992 Los Angeles riots, many of the songs comment on the racial tensions during that period. The title is a partial reference to the movie Predator 2, and the album itself includes samples from the film. It’s the most successful of all of Ice Cube’s albums, selling 3 million copies and going triple platinum. The success of The Predator is due in part to the major success of the single “It Was A Good Day”.

The second solo album, released by Priority Records on October 31, 1991. Highly anticipated (with over a million advance orders), the album was certified platinum on December 20, 1991, and to date has sold over two million copies. It was also the source of much controversy due to some of its racially charged content, and Ice Cube’s acerbic statements on drug dealing, racial profiling, and the right to bear arms. The Album itself is widely considered one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums of all time.

A seven track EP, released by Ice Cube in 1990. It was released soon after AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, and capitalized off Cube’s newfound solo success. The EP quickly shipped Gold in sales, a first for a hip hop EP, and a year later, had sold over a million copies. It featured a remix of “Endangered Species”, featuring a brand new verse from Public Enemy’s Chuck D. Kill at Will is considered by Ice Cube fans to be among his best works, and original vinyl pressings are still highly sought after.

Ice Cube’s debut solo album, released after his acrimonious split from his former group N.W.A. It was originally released on May 16, 1990. Primarily produced by The Bomb Squad (Public Enemy’s production team), the album was an unexpectedly large critical and commercial success, and remains one of the defining hip hop albums of the 1990s era. Ice Cube’s social, and political commentary, which was delivered in an incisive manner, has influenced numerous rappers since, particularly in the gangsta rap and political rap subgenres. The album cemented Cube’s reputation as a gifted lyricist, and introduced him as a highly literate scribe on the hardships of life in South Central, Los Angeles
