09. Ice Cube - Make It Ruff, Make It Smooth

Lethal Injection is the fourth studio album by California-based rapper Ice Cube. Similar to the rapper's previous albums, it was a commercial hit, debuting at #5 on the Billboard 200 with 215,000 copies sold in its first week.[8] 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 album's standing has increased over time. It includes the popular singles; "You Know How We Do It", and the Funkadelic-sampling "Bop Gun (One Nation)", which became a staple on MTV.

Been on a cube binge recently. This is definitely some of his best work, as well as the album as a whole.

[@gr33kfr3ak8]

One of the better albums of his solo artistry. It goes Death Certificate, AmeriKKKas Most Wanted, The Predator, then Lethal Injection. Then he sort of went downhill with War and Peace.

[@gloriasteele7938]

"Make it ROUGH!"

me 2

[@LongLiveJoseph]

@@gr33kfr3ak8 yea wat and peace still went platinum but i agree, that’s when his albums started to lower in quality, he still had a couple of gold albums and hit singles after that tho

[@kevinkibble8342]

He fully embraced the West Coast sound that was popular at the time, and popularised by Dr Dre. "A yo Dre, stick to producing"

Oooh, Daddy! I just love this record. We often credit yo' first, second and third albums as classics, but people never mention this gem of an album. I love it through and through. This is always gon be my jam. Just some g-funk flavors.
