When gangsta rap is mentioned, this is one of the first albums that comes to mind and rightfully so. My favorite thing about it is that it is a well-rounded gangsta rap album. Lots of them are strictly graphic and profane depictions of violence and sex. This, however, is much more. There is Ice's trademark story-telling, insight into shortcomings in America's ghettos, anger, and crass humor. Ice-T is a very smart individual whose perspective and educated opinions are highly valued by many. Hip-hop is very lucky to have him and this album because Ice-T did not just reflect the chaos of the streets by yelling and cursing. He told the truth about its harsh realities in hopes that a change for the better would occur.
