5.0 out of 5 stars It's funny, don't you think?, August 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Rhyme Pays (Audio CD)

It's funny how some of the reviews of this album weren't even made by people who have listened to the CD. Base the rating you give the CD on musical merit, not on your personal right-wing political beliefs and your objections to a song which wasn't on this album in the first place... ie: Cop-Killa

4.0 out of 5 stars Rhyme Pays Every Night and Day, January 9, 2009

MonsterJam (North Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Rhyme Pays (Audio CD)

This CD put Ice T on the map. Squeeze the Trigger was a personal favorite of mine, this CD doesn't have any fillers. And thats saying something given Ice-T's limited artistic capability.

Note that this CD is an analog to digital recording, given the time frame in which it was produced. Still, the dynamic transfer is very good with very little background noise.

This CD should be in every Ice-T fan collection, and in the collection of a classic West Coast rap fan as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding debut, July 27, 2001

Serrell Ross - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rhyme Pays (Audio CD)

If you like Ice T, you gotta get this one. One of the few artists that started out great and only got better as time passed. This was released 14 years ago and it does not sound dated in any way. Just sounds like Ice T rippin it as he always has.
