Niggas are in the state of emergency
The Death Side, a mirrored image of where we are today
The Life Side, a vision of where we need to go
So sign your death certificate...
- Ice Cube, The Funeral
Time to review Death Certificate by Ice Cube. This was his second solo album and it was released in 1991. This album contains a lot of racially and politically charged content. Cube hits on everything from drug dealing to how black folks are treated at the county hospital.
We go through that content on this episode and talk about the impact it had on Hip-Hop. Is Death Certificate a classic album?
