Ice Cube Death Certificate Vs Lethal Injection | MC Eiht Goes Off On Steele

[@centralref]

Came here to get some opinions on a debate I had the other day, which album is better, Death Certificate or Doggystyle?

[@SMOOTHCUTPRODUCTION]

This is a good one. I’m staying out of it

[@JasonLawr-mo1ck]

Death Certificate for me because Cube paints a picture of the world as it relates to L.A. and not only could everyone relate to it, every song stayed true to the overall theme of the album.

[@centralref]

@@JasonLawr-mo1ck that's a thoughtful response. I agree. Respect ✊🏿.

Compton’s Most Wanted-Music to Drive By and Above The Law-Living Like Hustlers. 🔥☠️😶

[@MrDunn490]

CMW's Music to Drive By--- 1992 is a classic album. Doesn't get enough mention when it comes to classics west coast albums.

[@ivandiaz9103]

Lethal Injection was a helluva vibe. So is above the law living like hustlers album. It's a good comparison

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

Uncle Sam's Curse is my fav ATL album, but Livin' Like Hustlers is special too. They used alotta samples on there that producers used later on to make big commercial hits. ATL is criminally slept on and underrated.

This is my top 10 gangsta rap albums 1.Ice Cube-Death Certificate 2.Spice 1-The Black Bossalini 3. Dr.Dre-The Chronic 4.Eazy E-Str8 off tha Streets of Muthaphukkin Compton 5.Snoop Doggy Dogg-Doggy Style 6.CMW-It's a Compton Thang! 7.Westside Connection-Bow Down 8.Mack 10-Mack 10 9.Daton Family-FBI 10.Geto Boyz-We Can't Be Stopped

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

Very dope list. I own all these physical cds. That Eazy-E album, due to it being released after his death, got slept on. There's so many dope songs on there, however. Big respect for having The Black Bossalinie by Spice 1 on your list. Amerikka's Nightmare, Spice 1 and 197 He Wrote are considered his best albums, but BB has so much heat on it. That album came out in the shiny suit era, so not many checked for it. But songs like Thug In Me, I'm High, Boss Mobsta, 510-213 and 2 Hands & A Razorblade, are some of the hardest gangsta rap the '90s had to offer

[@bigcav925]

Death Certificate is the best rap album of all time in my opinion

[@anthonysmith2050]

It's up there. MuthaPhucka is Flawless

[@robertepps2834]

Man Lethal Injection is one of Cube's Best albums! As a matter of fact Ghetto Bird is the song that Menace to Society is known for! That's a West Coast Anthem. MC Eiht tripping.

[@Fire_Storm78]

I totally agree, but Eiht was thinking about The Predator album. Wish they would have went down the track list and examined each song. From the front to back, Lethal Injection is top 5 in Cube's catalog.

[@aliaswizard604]

CUBE was Kendrick Lamar before Kendrick. Everything was social commentary from the beginning of his career. Yeah it is gangsta but it is conscious music too. 🐐 STATUS

[@mansoor9907]

Really Doe and Ghetto Byrd go hard as hell. Lil Ass G is hard as well on Lethal Injection

[@samsonokoro5036]

Plus what can I do, incredible story telling

[@samsonokoro5036]

Let's not forget the deep track When I Get to Heaven, lethal injection is a solid album. We haven't even discussed the hit singles Really Doe, You Know how we do it and Bop gun.

[@bossknight3238]

Lethal Injection gave us "You know how we do it" that's a Gangsta rap banger!

[@derekduram4514]

I can’t make a top gangster rap album list and not have no Eazy-E in my shit

[@Fire_Storm78]

Lethal Injection's Really Doe and Ghetto Bird are two of Cube's hardest songs!!! Just as gangsta as My Summer Vacation. Story telling at its finest.

[@bigprob8744]

Death certificate is cubes best album and in my top 10,its a beast album

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

Death Certificate is arguably the best album in hip hop history. If not, its definitely top 10. Glad Steele corrected himself, and put Amerikkka's Most Wanted in Lethal Injection's place. Lethal Injection was very dope, but theres a couple misses on there. AMW and DC are flawless albums. An underrated gangsta rap album I rarely see on these lists is Season of Da Sicness by Brotha Lynch Hung. Until hearing that, I didnt even know they were bangin up there in Sacramento like that. 'N Gats We Truss by South Central Cartel is another one. They took it off streaming, but that's an album worth checking out.

[@southsidecompton9668]

1. We Come Strapped 2. Music 2 Drive-by 3. Its On (Dr Dre) 187 Killem 4. Mobbin For Life 5. All Eyes On Me

I hated the predator album. But a gang of people like it 😂

[@ceedee7647]

Predator was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

It was uneven, but there's still some dope tracks on there. That album was the beginning of Ice Cube's fall off in that era imo.

[@OmarScruggs]

Death Certificate is flawless. Top 5 rap album ever. Changed my life as an 11 year old

[@baleberguista503]

I agree, Death Certificate is one of my favorite albums from Ice Cube. My top 10 would have more CMW and Eiht. My favorite Eiht album was N My Neihhborhood. We Come Strapped. Music to Driveby. Straight Checkn ‘Em. We didn’t get to hear Eiht’s top 10.

[@mansoor9907]

We Come Strap is one of TBE when it comes to gangsta albums. I don’t know why more kats don’t talk about Death Threats cause that was a really good album. All of Above the Law albums are classic OG type gangsta albums IMO, but my favorites from them were Time will Reveal and Legends.

[@westlaclede]

Death certificate over lethal injection but that was a pretty dope album to me. I don’t know why so many people don’t like it.

[@GrandKuwsh]

[@kendleoneal4080]

Death Certificate is hands down Cubes best work

[@merciless41582]

Death Certificate was released months after the Rodney King incident and months before the Rodney King riots. It paints a clear picture about what was going on in the country at that time. How are they not going to have a Spice 1 and CBO album on that list? Spice 1 and CBO got about 4 or 5 albums that could've been on that list. People need to start putting respect on Spice 1 and CBO's names.

[@ricoriley2452]

I am a Georgia boy it's funny how cats never mentioned WC and the Maad circles first album all of you should go back and take a listen

I’ve been bumping Lethal Injection for the last 2 weeks.

[@larryconnerjr1835]

Death certificate is definitely in my top 5 definitely ice cube’s best album and arguably the best rap album ever to come out of the west coast, it’s up there with straight outta Compton, All eyes on me and The chronic

[@E_GIBSON]

Death certificate was my favorite Cube album. At that time I was into ATL and CMW hard. Death Certificate at that time was one of the most relevant albums of any era, esp. if you are from the west.

[@bigmike1973ful]

i liked ice cube's first 3 albums and the kill at will ep then to me ice cube started slipping with lethal injection

[@TheTman9898]

My car ain't got no Bluetooth so I be bumping CDs to get my riddems in. I listen to one on repeat until I get bored then swap it out for whatever I got in the glovebox, usually a stash of 6. No word of a lie, Death Certificate has stayed in rotation everyday for MONTHS at a time along with others bangers like Ice Cube's "The Predator" , Mack 10's first album and Nas' "It was Written" ... Countless classics been jammed with the bass tearing up tarmac in Norfolk, UK! 🤠🔥

[@cadencarlisle3772]

I gotta go with Death Certificate not only because it's an absolute MASTERPIECE. But also because it was HIGHLY ANTICIPATED and didn't disappoint like so many follow up albums do. Cube at the time had just KILLED the game with Amerikkkas Most Wanted and the Kill At Will EP. So everyone was waiting impatiently on Death Certificate to see if he would be able to follow up. Shiddd, Amerikkkas Most Wanted was a tough act to follow. But despite the pressure, he KILLED the game again with Death Certificate.

[@OperationChicago]

Ice Cube always had a way of rapping about good important topics. When he finds a topic, he attacks it hard and stays on it

[@oggarrett4779]

Yes ahead of its time it told our story 20 yearsto early

[@ZahirBivings-mt6rh]

Death certificate have too be one of the greatest hip hop albums of all thine it’s painted such a beautiful imperfect image on being pro black sexuality , politics, police brutality, racism etc and it came out during Rodney king area it’s a very pro black album and yet some white dude love this album

Lethal Injection was hard! Ghetto Bird, You Know How We Do It, Bop Gun, What Can I Do, Lil Ass Gee, Down for Whatever

[@mattsheezy5469]

All things considered, Death Certificate is the best overall Rap album ever. I love Nation of Millions, & Niggaz4Life, but his political writing is what makes it the greatest. It’s true artistic rebellion on wax.

When it came out, we would be kickin it and listening to that album and before you knew it we'd be out puttin in work. It don't really get more gangster than that album...at least West Coast gangster shit.

KRS 1 'Edutainment' and Ice Cube 'Amerikkkas Most Wanted'. From stsrt to finish. I have others on my list. But those are the first two, that come to my mind.
