Format:Audio CD
This is the first of Ice-T's albums and indeed the least polished. However, this adds to it's charm, particularly for fans who wish to see how such a successful artist started out in the business. Less aggressive and political than much of his later work, many of the raps are great fun and perhaps not to be taken too seriously! (For example, Sex! featuring DJ Evel E). However, even in the early days Ice was trying to get his message across as demonstrated by tracks such as Pull the Trigger. Other than this there are some good, old-fashioned gangster raps that really let you know that this was an 80s album. Overall, highly recommended but fans of later work might be put off by the big difference in style and content; persevere, it is worth it!

Absolute class 1 July 2005
Format:Audio CD
Ice-T's first major release paves the way for the 'gangsters are cool' genre.

Even now, in 2005, this stuff sounds so fresh.

Modern day rap 'know-it-alls' know nothing without getting some foundational material from the old-skool hip-hop scene, and starting with this and a good dose of Eric B and Rakim, NWA and Mantronix would be a good place to start to see where the likes of Eminem and 50-Cent owe much credit.

Yeah, it's old, but dated this isnt!

Excellent service 9 May 2010
Format:Audio CD
I have only recently found amazon for other than books. Since then i now have over 100 items in my wish list, which i am slowly wading through. What a great album to start my newest collection with.

This is only 1 album of a load that i am trying to get on C.D from my old vinyl collection. I was very excited when i found this along with some other obscure old albums that i thought i would never see again, resigning to the fact i may have to buy some software and transfer the vinyl to MP3.
This album brought back some old memories, let alone remembering the words after an eternity of not hearing it. So that tells you how much i enjoyed playing it 'BACK IN THE DAY'. A brilliant album that still sounds good in the 21st Century and would give most NEW SCHOOL rappers a bit of a run for their money.
It also helps that the C.D i received was brand new and superb quality, matching the quality recording.
