Living Room Wrestling:
Blightobody, shown at right,
will bring Living Room Wrestling
to open its show at 10
p.m. Saturday at Rockafellas'.
Living Room Wrestling is a unique
wrestling alliance based in
Florence. "It might be said that 1
it is like professional wrestling,
but real," a member of Blighto- k
body said. "It resembles pro
wrestling, but yet it is one more
mirror remnved from reality."
When Hank "The Tank" Buchanan
takes the stage amid
couches, chairs, lamps and a
coffee table to grapple violently j
with The Trump Towers, things ,
acquire an almost dream-like
quality. Blightobody will also i
debut its new video, "The Dry
Fix."

ce Cube's
lew album
yrically
powerful
ind strong
Since the release of his second
11-length album, Death Certifiite,
Ice Cube has been in the
edia spotlight with some critics
lling him a racist and others
aising him.
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
