I know Death Certificate gets a lotta discussion, but fareal, this particular song right here made you feel embarrassed for your own people n offended lol, it really did, cold part is he was speakin nothin but TRUTH. I was a teenager when this shyt dropped and bought this tape the first day it was released and I couldn't believe Cube was airing "us" out like that even waaaaaay back then, real talk......The intro had you rollin:pachaha: but by the end of the song you was :patrice:Did that nikka just call me a jigaboo? :dahell:

Gave us our own "wake up anthem" for the world n shyt, straight ether.

Media was PISSED at this cat......Said he hated jews, asians, women, gays, cats, dogs, everybody but there was no backlash about him callin out his own people on this cut :russ:

Bruh this cat said "But don't point the finger you JIGABOO:wtf: take a look at YOURSELF in the mirror you DUMB nikka you :dead:

Man I listen to this shyt now......fukkin O'shea, got damn crystal ball, prophesizin ass nikka :ohhh:

"Pretty soon hip hop won't be so nice, no Ice Cube just Vanilla Ice (That shyt used to have EVERYBODY rollin)"

"And you'll sit n scream n cuss, but its no one to blame but......"

Cube, you jinxed US mayne:laff:

You can take all of Cubes early works and see how they are still relevant to day, especially "Turn off the Radio".

A message to the Oreo cookie:
No matter how much you wanna switch
Here's what they think about you


[Sample]

Turn on the radio take a listen
What you're missing
Personally I'm sick of the ass-kissing
What I'm kicking to you won't get rotation
Nowhere in the nation

Program directors and DJ's ignored me
Cause I simply said fukk Top Forty
And top thirty top twenty and top ten
Until you put more hip-hop in
Then I might grin but don't pretend that you're down with the C
And go and dis me in a magazine
How could you figure the brother could dig ya
DJ face down in the river
No it's not a threat but a promise
I'm as
Crazy as they come see

Mama didn't love me
All I got is my nine
And to calm the savage beast here's the Alpine


[Turn off that bullshytAnnotate!
Turn off that motherfukking radio!
Turn off that bullshyt!
Turn off that motherfukking radio!
Turn off that bullshyt!
Play the music motherfukker put the music on
Damn!]

Tune in to the radio listen for a minute
Yo G stick a fukking tape in it
Cause all the radio do is gangle
That R&B love triangle
If you're out there kicking it with the brothers
You don't care about lovers
You wanna hear a young nikka on the mic
Going buck wild
Throwing and flowing and showing new styles
That's where I'm coming from
Reality that's what they're running from
So if you're down with Ice Cube let me know that you know
Yo turn off the radio


[You know what? You know what?
Basically those black guys and those rap guys
They don't know what the fukk they're doing
I hate those fukkers
I hate em
Especially that one guy
The AmeriKKKa's most wanted
Ice Cube--I hate that fukker
Get him off the air, get him off, get him off
Get that rap shyt out of here!]
[Just get me a gat so I can smoke this motherfukker!]
