Us will always sing tha blues
'Cause all we care about is hairstyles
And tennis shoes and if ya step on mine
Ya pushed tha button 'cause I'll beat u down like it ain't nuttin'
Just like a beast but I'm tha 1st nikka to holler out Peace (black man)
I beat my wife and children to a pulp
When I get drunk an' smoke dope
Got a bad heart condition still eat hog maws
an' chitlins
I bet my money on the horse so the house is jobless now I'm a hoe for tha armed forces
I go to church but they tease us with a picture
Of a blue eyed Jesus (that's some bullshyt)
No respect and ignored and I'm having more babies than I really can afford
In jail cause I can't pay the mother
Held back in life because I'm a colour
Now this is just a lil summary
Of US but y'all think it's dumb to me
To hold a mirror to our face but trust
Nobody gives a fukk about....:salute:

Music will always be subjective to the listener but in the realm of rap there are very few that can claim to be the GOAT. But when you talk about classic albums, I believe death certificate is one of the best and most important albums ever. An album like that couldn't be released today with critical acclaim from a mainstream rapper.

With that being said, "Alive on Arrival" is probably my favorite.

I think that song resonated with so many people because there have plenty of poor black people who didn't have insurance, went to a county hospital, and had to wait forever to be seen. Most times their symptoms got worst and even died especially at LA county. It was very vivid story telling that you didn't hear from west coast rappers at that time because the going narrative was only NY dudes were lyrical.

88-92 ice cube was a beast. His nwa work, 1st two albums, west side connection & film work is enough for him to be on the Mt. rushmore of rap. With all of that being said I can't put him in my personal top 5 DOA because after the predator album in '92 his albums got worse and he lost his passion...
