Title: Question (Kill At Will)
Post by: Okka on February 01, 2016, 11:40:19 AM: I just bought Cube's "Kill At Will" and i just noticed that there's a Ruthless Records logo on the CD. What's up with that?

The South Central L.A. rapper's "Kill at Will" EP picks up where "Most Wanted" left off, with a drastically improved remix of "Endangered Species (Tales From the Darkside)," a duet with Public Enemy's Chuck D about black-on-black murders. But some of the seven-song EP finds Ice Cube and his Lench Mob production posse turning introspective. The Cube laments a friend's death on "Dead Homiez" and keeps you wondering whether or not "The Product" is autobiographical. Has Ice Cube's sudden sentimentality made him soft? (...) ICE CUBE -- "Kill at Will" (Ruthless/Priority). Appearing Sunday with Rare Essence, Yo-Yo, Junk Yard Band, Pleasure and Klyxx at the Memorial Day Weekend Jam in Wilmers Park, Route 381 in Brandywine. Call 202/432-0200. Source : The Washington Post (1990/91)

U have the 4th a Broadway logo on it too, and it was a UK imprint. So, it seems that's a CD released in Europe.

That's what I'm thinking too. But then that would probably mean that he was eating off of AMW too. Anyone got a pic of the overseas copy of that?
