Ice Cube - AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted [The Samples]




UPDATED
(5/16/2010)

Released in 1990, "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" created something of a storm in the world of hip hop, particularly on the West coast. To craft this masterful album, Ice Cube had to take a pilgrimage to the home of the genre, New York City, to work with legendary production team The Bomb Squad. But it all paid off as Cube dropped a classic which stayed true to his West coast background: packed with murderous lyrics and funky samples galore. (Our boy FXS hooked us up once again -- and I added a couple tracks -- for this one, so make sure to thank him in the comment section.) Beginning a string of heavy-hitting solo albums, many consider "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" to be Cube at his finest. I can't say that I disagree; I can say that I'm proud to present to you the sample set for this great album! Enjoy, and remember - West Up!
