The Predator isn't his best, but it's the one I always have a soft spot for since the summer in high school when I went to a week long architectural camp at Ball State, for which I remembered to pack my Walkman but somehow no tapes. There was a tiny rack of cassettes in a little student book shop and I picked this one up to get me through the week.

can't believe the guy who was so racist that the UK straight-up left songs off his album in 1991 said dumb racist stuff in 2020, a solid two decades after he last made a good record

Re: The Predator, like Lethal Injection there's only a few cuts that I really like, but one of them is "It Was a Good Day" and I fucking love it, both the album version and the single remix that samples the Staple Singers - both are great and they may very well be my favorite recordings from Ice Cube.

His debut AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, the Kill at Will EP, the UK version of Death Certificate (I have no use for the shit they took off) are great - I still have them. The other stuff I mentioned I usually listen to via compilations.
