I hade so many of these albums back then. I didn't think I was that into it but working at a record store I bought way more than I would have elsewise.
These days, it's probably Pharcyde.

yeah I had to think a sec the G Rap. it's more consistent than the Predator, but the Predator's high points are better than TLALD's high points
― Force Boxman (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 29 October 2012 17:02 (eleven years ago) link
Very positive memories of Brand Nubian, EPMD, Kool G Rap, and FuSchick but it's probably a toss up between Predator and Bizarre Ride. I'm guessing Pharcyde runaway with this, so will go for Icecube.

Discovered the Showbiz & AG and Diamond D albums last year via the hip hop albums poll - both solid rather than inspirational but hugely enjoyable nonetheless. Would also consider Pharcyde, Pete Rock, Eric B & Rakim, Paris, Disposables, Kool G, Ice Cube and Gang Starr. The Predator has the most nostalgia appeal but I'm not sure it's the strongest here.

1992 was a weird year in general, even if you look at rock and other genres, a lot of the big hits were off gamechangers that dropped in '91, and most of the albums that were actually released in '92 were not as significant as what those artists did immediately before or after those albums

well this is the end of the era right - '92 is the year of the Gilbert O'Sullivan lawsuit, and production styles shift over to a less sample-based aesthetic - which Dre was out ahead of, right? or not? heads can correct me but that's my understanding, there's a big shift underway in '92 toward basically making the stuff from scratch instead of building from parts

Not really dug much of Redman post Dare Iz A Darkside, loved bits of Muddy Waters though. I thought The Pharcyde's follow up to Bizarre Ride was very disappointing as well.

I grew up an hour from Port Arthur and an hour and a half from Houston, UGK were huge and the Houston scene. There was a radio station call The Box out of Houston that played local artists before they were known outside of the area. I used to have tapes I recorded from the Box late shows.

I like Pharcyde better than Predator because there's way to compare it to a much better previous album.
(I've said before that) I wasn't down with Death Certificate when I was a kid, the a) homophobia b) racism c) slackness towards women made me take it back to the shop and exchange for something else.
Also because it has no "Gangsta Fairytale 2" on it.
This is a feeble charge to lay against an album that has When Will They Shoot on it, let alone Wicked and Check Yo Self with the OG beat and Good Day (remember how remarkable it was at the time before it became the most-played Cube song ever). Not to mention We Had To Tear This Muthafucka Up and Who Got The Camera and Say Hi and...
― sug night (sic), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 21:47 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I just listened to the Predator again and it really isn't bad, but Death Certificate just feels like a better album to me. I was like 15 when it came out and it didn't seem any worse than any of the other stuff I was into at the time content-wise and I was dumbly oblivious to a lot of it anyway. That and a lot of other records do make me cringe a bit now.
I just never liked Dirty Mack and Now I Gotta Wet Cha that much, and the sudden and obvious Das EFX and Cypress Hill influences kind of bugged me too. And nothing on it - even Good Day - comes close to Steady Mobbin', Alive on Arrival, or My Summer Vacation.
― joygoat, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 22:07 (eleven years ago) link
the remix of Good Day w/the Staples/Mayfield sample may be my favorite Cube song ever but even still Death Certificate just hangs together better, warts and all. the skits/interludes on Predator are annoying, and while his bandwagon-jumping songs aren't bad in and of themselves they are kind of glaring
― Force Boxman (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I just listened to the Predator again and it really isn't bad, but Death Certificate just feels like a better album to me.
I bought the re-release later and love it to bits, of course (bcz now I hate women, gooks and gays) (and many of the songs were still fully intact in my head from the week I'd had it the first time), but I have no problem at all seeing The Predator as a great album separate from its predecessors (it's no Amerikkka's Most Wanted either)

^ also a great example of what a great rapper Cube was in his imperial period - halfway through "shirt" he slows down a tiny bit, juuust lagging behind the beat for those next three and a half syllables; this provides a subtle enough emphasis that the listener will subconsciously note it, and make the callback connection on the reveal a few lines later, AND! ALSO! once you know the scenario for future listens, reads as the narrator physically losing step without even being conscious of it himself yet.
