I was never the biggest West Coast hip hop fan. I didn't care for the profanity. They lacked the lyrics I was looking for and got from East Coast hip hop.
Ice Cube managed to change my mind with his debut. The Bomb Squad were involved with the album, which cushioned the blow so to speak, but I learned to appreciate Ice Cube as an artist. He outdid himself on Death Certificate.
Who would have thought Ice Cube would do the equivalent of Marvin Gaye by recording a concept album? Death Certificate dealt with topics affecting the Black community like gang violence and took time to reveal the truth about his days with NWA. I almost never went a day without hearing that album. This was Ice Cube at his most self-reflective and I was on his side up until Bootlegs & B-Sides.
