As of now, I think this is Ice-T's last great album. For my money, he put out five fantastic albums in a row and he's one of the few to do so. From the opening line about Charleston Heston, it's clear that Ice-T's is going in on his trademark political raps. "Gotta Lotta Love" was a great single and I really liked "99 Problems." Because Rick Rubin is the master of remakes (see also "Hurt" and "Walk This Way"), Jay-Z's 2003 version is a classic. But that swagger Jay-Z adapted to bring the heat in '03 was all Ice a decade earlier.
