Description

Vinyl LP pressing. Back-to-back tracks in the middle of Lethal Injection are all the proof we need that Ice Cube is a great talent. What Can I Do? opens with a strings-and-wah-wah motif from an early- 70s blaxploitation film and follows with a Superfly tale about a high-level drug dealer. Next up is Lil Ass Gee, the story of a 12-year-old wanna-be gangster. Just a few years ago he was playing with G.I. Joe dolls, and now he s playing with real guns and making real babies. On both numbers, the rapper s rich, resonant baritone bleeds into the synth strings with a sense of fatefulness that s chilling to hear. Ice Cube is a mesmerizing storyteller, a seductive vocalist, and a brilliantly inventive producer of aural collages. – Priority
