Body Count

Body Count (1992) more music like this

by Body Count

Divorced from the controversy that surrounded its release, Body Count's self-titled debut is a surprisingly tepid affair. Apart from the previously released "Body Count" (which appeared on Ice-T's 1991 album O.G. Original Gangster), the record is devoid of serious commentary, trading intelligence for a lurid comic book depiction of sex, violence, ...

O.G. Original Gangster

O.G. Original Gangster (1991) more music like this

by Ice-T

One of gangsta rap's defining albums, O.G. Original Gangster is a sprawling masterpiece that stands far and away as Ice-T's finest hour. Taken track by track, O.G. might not seem at first like the product of a unified vision; perspective-wise, it's all over the map. There's perceptive social analysis, chilling violence, psychological storytelling, ...

Power

Power (1988) more music like this

by Ice-T

As riveting as Rhyme Pays was, Ice-T did hold back a little and avoided being too consistently sociopolitical. But with the outstanding Power, the gloves came all the way off, and Ice didn't hesitate to speak his mind about the harsh realities of inner-city life. On "Drama," "Soul on Ice" (an homage to his idol Iceberg Slim), "High Rollers," and ...

Rhyme Pays

Rhyme Pays (1987) more music like this

by Ice-T

Before Ice-T's ascension, L.A. rappers were known primarily for a synthesizer-dominated sound indebted to Kraftwerk's innovations as well as Afrika Bambaataa's 1982 hit, "Planet Rock." While L.A. did have its share of hardcore rappers in the mid-'80s (including Toddy Tee, King Tee, and of course, Ice-T), hardcore rap was dominated by the East ...

The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech...Just Watch What You Say

The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech...Just Watch What You Say (1989) more music like this

by Ice-T

Ice-T threw listeners quite a curve ball with his riveting third album, The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech...Just Watch What You Say -- arguably the closest hip-hop has come to George Orwell's 1984. Instead of focusing heavily on gangsta rap, Ice-T made First Amendment issues the CD's dominant theme. Setting the album's tone is the opener, "Shut Up, Be ...

Old School Rap, Vol. 2 [Thump] (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

The second in the series includes more classics, like "It's Like That" by Run-D.M.C., "The Show" by Doug E. Fresh, "Brass Monkey" by the Beastie Boys, and "Rockberry Jam" by the L.A. Dream Team. ~ Keith Farley, All Music Guide

Gangsta Rap

Gangsta Rap (2006) more music like this

by Ice-T

Ice-T's first solo rap CD since 1999's 7th Deadly Sin is a mixed bag. Lyrically, the Iceberg hasn't changed much. He's still hard -- much harder than you'd expect a VH-1 regular to be -- and he's still uncompromising with the language and his attitude towards women (ladies, unless you want to learn how to go from "ho" to "pro," avoid this album). ...

An excellent collection of 12" mixes of influential dance records from the early '80s, it's essential for any funk, rap, and dance collection. ~ All Music Guide, All Music Guide

Pimp to Eat

Pimp to Eat (2000) more music like this

by Analog Brothers

Five personalities spit game and talk mess in humorous and fantastic fashion on Pimp to Eat. Deeply synthed 808 and 909 kicks power these retro godfathers' boasts, stories, and pimp/pop-culture laden non sequiturs. Keith Korg aka Kool Keith steals the show; no one ever quite sounds as bugged out or charismatic. The others generally follow Keith's ...

Greatest Hits: The Evidence [Atomic Pop] (2000) more music like this

by Ice-T

Ice-T, the self-proclaimed "original gangster" of rap, is one of the few hip-hop artists who truly deserves a greatest-hits compilation. In a genre marked by overnight sensations, rapidly changing trends, and fans with short memories, he put together a long career marked by both consistency and innovation. This 16-track compilation, put together ...

MTV the First 1000 Years: Hip Hop

MTV the First 1000 Years: Hip Hop (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

It may be hard to get beyond the title of Rhino's series MTV the First 1000 Years, which just may be the dumbest title in the first 1000 years of the recording industry, but the actual discs aren't bad at all. For instance, the Hip Hop volume is a terrific collection of hip-hop staples from "The Message" to "Player's Ball." Most of these songs ...

Born Dead

Born Dead (1994) more music like this

by Body Count

There was a lot of controversy over "Cop Killer" and Body Count's debut, and Born Dead replicates all of Body Count, including the attempts at social commentary and "Body Count, Body Count, Body Count, BC, BC, BC" chants. Ice-T's band sounds like a heavy metal relic from the late '80s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

In Tha Beginning...Tha Originals

In Tha Beginning...Tha Originals (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The In Tha Beginning project seems like a good idea in theory. Take some of the greatest hip-hop singles from the '80s, have some hot '90s stars record new versions, then release companion albums, one containing the originals, the other the covers. It's an excellent marketing scheme that has one major flaw -- there's no way that the new versions ...

Just Say Yes: Sire's Winter CD Music Sampler (1987) more music like this

by Various Artists

Samplers are often throwaways, their contents quickly and mindlessly tossed together to promote a label's latest releases. Just Say Yes: Sire's Winter CD Music Sampler may have been produced to woo record buyers into purchasing albums by cult artists, but it offers a wealth of new wave rarities that significantly transcends its original purpose. ...

Just Say Da: Volume IV of Just Say Yes (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

Warner Brothers' late-'80s, alternative-heavy series of label compilations (kind of like a post-punk version of their '70s Loss Leaders series) are an uneven lot, as is usually the case with this type of collection. However, the fourth volume, from 1990, is probably the strongest set (with the exception of the classic new wave compilation Just Say ...

Rap Declares War (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

Conceptually, this is very strong. With the imprimatur of the remaining members of War and their longtime manager Jerry Goldstein, the group's tracks are used as samples and/or backing for some well-known and not-so-well-known rappers to pay homage to. For the most part it works, because the talent (e.g., The Beasties, Ice-T, 2Pac, De La Soul) is ...
