Arobie1992 - Americakkka's Most Wanted VS Marshall Mathers LP lyrics

Prebby - Amerikkka's Most Wanted Initial Argument: AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted by Ice Cube, released in 1990, was an instant cla**ic. This album epitomizes and set the standard for ‘gangsta rap'. Gangsta rap was on the rise in 1990 and Cube's album was a large roll in propelling it to the level of popularity that it reached throughout the 90s. The album's numbers spoke for themselves. Receiving very little promotion and close to no radio play, the album went gold two weeks after it's release and platinum merely two months following. These numbers were not reached by even the incredibly popular NWA album “Straight Outta Compton” in it's first two months. As David Jefferies of Allmusic puts it, “This street knowledge venom with ultra fast funk works splendidly throughout the album, with every track hitting home”. Meanwhile, David Mills from The Washington Post perfectly summarizes Ice Cube's ability as a rapper after the release of this album. “He's an unusually gifted rhymer, and his delivery is even more self-a**ured,” Mills said This album greatly impacted rap culture, as an incredible amount of rappers soon began to copy the gangsta rap style that was used by Cube. He showed the commercial success that could be reached with an album from a young black male coming out of Compton, California. This album is one of the first examples and the finest example of an album with an “I just don't give a f**” vibe that was copied hundreds of times following it's release (example: Marshall Mathers LP). It also was immediately attacked for the ways in which Ice Cube spoke about women and his disrespect for them with lyrics such as “I guess I'll just wine her and dine her/ and by the end of the night I'll behind her” in “I'm Only Out For One Thang”. This is another concept that Ice Cube helped to begin that was copied hundreds of times following it's release (example: Marshall Mathers LP). The album was overall very well known in many senses for it's open speech of violence, which also was copied hundreds of times following it's release (example: Marshall Mathers LP) and is still copied to this day. All of these albums worked off of and were therefore directly influenced by the vibe of AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted. This vibe with no f**s to be given is made clear in only the second track with the line “it's the n***a you love to hate (f** you Ice Cube!)” repeated many times. Ironically, while Ice Cube showed that he didn't care how he was received, the album was received very well This album began the career of one of the greatest rappers of all time, Ice Cube. It is a very sonically pleasing album with funky beats and both enjoyable and impressive lyrics. Also, it was partially produced by Ice Cube further showing the talent of the artist and adding to the impressiveness of the album. It was the foundation for many albums to follow and set the tone for Ice Cube's career as a rapper. An incredible album with incredible influence on rap even to this day, the album is easily cla**ic status and arguably the greatest rap album of all time. It is undoubtedly better than any albums that followed it that stole many concepts from it, such as The Marshall Mathers LP Rebu*tal: 123andtotha4 - Marshall Mathers LP Initial Argument: Rebu*tal:
