In approaching this review, I i struggling with mixed feelgs over the album. There is no mbt that the beats are slamming d that Ice Cube can rap with z best of them. The controversy mes with the lyrical content. There always seems to be a ntroversy over every hardcore p album that is released. Con}versy is something that Ice jbe is certainly familiar with by iw. His days with N.W.A. (Nigrs With Attitudes) have seaned him, and he is now causing ntroversy on the solo tip. Some critics attack Ice Cube * er songs like "Horny Lil* DeI" and "Black Korea." "Horny F Devil" is an attack on white in who exploit and harass black )men. In the song he calls for i castration of such men. He >o claims that white women ve "no butt and no chest." I asmc he is not familiar with ndy Crawford. In "Black )rea" he uses terms like "your op-suey ass" to describe >reans. I don't think that one can re y UolCIl IU UlCSt IWU SUIIgS dliu i that there are no racial slurs at least stereotypes. The probn with all of these criticisms is at while they are real, they ershadow the important messes that lie within the album, stead of focusing on the posie aspects of the album, critics ve only concerned themselves th what affects them. They ve ignored telling you that the mm contains stories that, like it not, truly reflect things that go in the black community. I ilize that Ice Cube does not ?ak for every young black peri in America, but he does rep;cnt the feelings of many anred and frustrated Africanncricans. Death Certificate contains rdcore public service announce;nts, such as "Look Who's Buri,"' that advises the use of conms to prevent the spread of the V virus and other venereal dis>es. "Alive On Arrival" is a illing tale of a young black ile who was shot by gangigers. He is taken to an over>wded hospital where he dies muse the hospital cares more )ut whether he has insurance n whether he will live. 'Color Blind" is a song that atks fratricide and gang viocc. "Us" is Ice Cube's analysis te Nation page 5 ?????? i i of Events adfna e 2nd level lobby e 2nd level lobby lD_m. m e Room 327 j i wlfh Seniors | on Green Slreef | ners (or | ilred | (able on Green Street y Training beelns tiary 22 In Ibe Campus ? trJ :K e old books for | d Seniors Citizens | :L on Green Sfreef MTl. lease call 777-5780. - 11 1 1 ?1 mJ
