Review by Hugh Briss

Ice Cube's 1992 album, "Wicked," is a gritty and uncompromising look at the harsh realities of living in the inner city. With hard-hitting beats and razor-sharp lyrics, Cube pulls no punches as he takes on topics like police brutality, gang violence, and racial inequality.

From the opening track, "The Funeral," Cube sets the tone for the album with his unapologetic delivery and stark imagery. "The Wrong N***a to F**k Wit" is a standout track, featuring Cube's signature flow over a haunting piano loop and booming bassline.

Other highlights include "Greed," a scathing critique of capitalism and materialism, and "The Predator," a chilling tale of a neighborhood vigilante taking justice into his own hands.

Born: June 15, 1969, South Central Los Angeles, California American rapper, actor, and filmmaker. His DJ was (deceased, R.I.P.), brother of Los Angeles rap legend, who tours as Ice Cube's hype man and also member of Westside Connection. Ice Cube began his career with the C.I.A., a group comprised of Ice Cube and his neighbor, . Jinx would later introduce him to his cousin, . After doing performances with Dre, they teamed up with , , , and to form the most iconic "gangsta rap" group of all time, . He broke away at the height of their national notoriety, after realizing he was being swindled out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by Ruthless Records. Although he left N.W.A., Cube still wanted Dre to produce his solo debut album. Eazy contractually rejected this request, because Dre was the producer for his record label (Ruthless) and he felt betrayed that Cube left the group. left and formed with his neighborhood friends , , , , , , female lyricist , , and Ice Cube's cousin, . Cube began looking for other producers to produce his solo. He approached , who were already busy recording their third album, "Fear of a Black Planet" and scoring the "Juice" Soundtrack. So instead, they recommended him to 3rd Bass' producer Sam Sever; but Sam failed to show up to the meeting with Cube. Cube also had informed Public Enemy and their producers, The Bomb Squad, that when he mentioned to Eazy that he might employ them as his producers, Eazy "rolled his eyes" as if they were inadequate to do the job as successfully as Dre. When The Bomb Squad learned of this, they fully agreed to produce Cube's first solo project. In addition to The Bomb Squad, he also got fellow Lench Mob producer and to produce tracks as well. On his initial solo release, Ice Cube injected virulent political and cultural rhetoric that stepped above N.W.A's gangbanging braggadocio. Ice Cube squashed the bi-coastal rap rivalry and collaborated with New York's hip-hop heavyweights . Their production team, , produced Amerikkka's Most Wanted. Ice Cube became a lightning rod for attracting attacks from rock critics and moralists for his lyrical content. Time has shown that the ruthless words and pointed imagery on both Amerikkka's Most Wanted and 1991's Prophetic pre-LA riots "Death Certificate" were not included for shock-value. The message construed in his rhymes presaged Los Angeles's incendiary reaction to the outcome of the Rodney King trial. On his album "Death Certificate

"Cause I'm the one with the fat mad skills/And I won't choke like the Buffalo Bills." This song was in 1992... The Bills had already choked in '90 and '91 in the Super Bowl and would go on to choke in '92 and '93 to the Dallas Cowboys. And in 2023 they are STILL choking with the last choke being against the Cincinnati Bengals in the Divisional Round. That team is LEGENDARY for choking ???
