Dam... Never Realised How Dope Death Certificate Is

[Paul]

could never really get into it, will give it another listen cause summer vacation is my fav cube track

[G. Sean Peters]

Dope indeed but Cube was at his prime when The Predator came out IMO

[big mat]

Yeah, funny thing is, I remember the day that album dropped and it was bananas.  It was in heavy rotation when it first came out.  That was a good year for West Coast hip-hop, pre-Chronic era.  I specifically remember it, because I had just graduated from High School in May, 1991, and Ice-T dropped the O.G. Original Gangster album that same month, which was also bangin', and then in October of that same year, Cube dropped Death Certificate.  Then a month after Death Certificate dropped, 2Pac's debut, 2Pacalypse Now was released.

I just bumped Death Certificate about a week ago, and it was nostaligic.  Still sounds as good today as it did back then.

you must be old as fuck

dude. you've missed out on a CLASSIC. I'm assuming those racist tirades didn't sit well with you especially if you haven't heard the album all that much?

[drakeshakenbake]

It is a dope album, a classic in my opinion. I love storytelling in rap, and ice cube is one of the best at it.

[J$crILLa]

I get really pissed often at rappers reverse racism. I think any really intelligent person knows it's not a certain race of people but a class of people that is the 'man' and the 'oppressor'. In other words, it's not whites/jews/asians it's RICH people and while there are alot of well of whites/asians there are alot of poor ones just like there are alot of rich asshole black people(like there is rich assholes of any race).

In other words, I'm DEEPLY disappointed that when Katrina happened and Kanye had a chance to say something to the world that would be quoted and heard instead of being an intelligent person and saying "George Bush doesn't care about poor people" (everyone in America, including blacks would have been behind him quoting that, making a stir, no doubt) his dropout ass said "george bush doesn't care about black people" (now only the same black people who've always said such things are behind him, not the whole nation) cause it's ridiculous to act like Bush doesn't care about black republicans in the oval office and that he does care about the poor whites in new orleans you know?

DEATH CERTIFICATE IS ONE OF THE BEST WEST COAST ALBUMS EVER!! SOME OF YALL YOUNGER ONES, DONT REALIZE HOW BIG THAT ALBUM WAS..I PUT IT UP THERE WITH THE CHRONIC.. ITS DEFINILTY CUBES BEST ALBUM, BY FAR..

[dclee]

classic album but honestly I prefer AMW a little more. but this album is great, and i like the whole life and death side aspect of it. and color blind is a dope posse cut. other than that, my summer vacation is my other favorite track. I remember reading an interview with Shorty (I think) from Da Lench Mob and he was saying how Ice Cube got the idea for My Summer Vacation from shit that the dudes from da lench mob actually did or some shit like that.
