If you lived in LA at the time you will remember the real world uproar this song caused.

Medical staff and administrators at MLK were on the news along with politicians blasting Cube for the negative portrayal of the hospital.

Fast forward a decade and the hospital (Killer King) had it’s emergency services shut down, lost it’s accreditation and had multiple videos surface showing people actually dying in the waiting room waiting on service.

Add this to the fact that this album predicted the 1992 riots that occurred one year later and you have the most politically, socially, and culturally significant album in music post 1969…. aside from being a HipHop masterpiece.

I hold this up as the greatest rap album of all time, lyrically it’s superb – uncompromising, the sequencing of the album is perfect – each track just feels like a natural progression from the previous one, the ‘Death Side’ and ‘Life Side’ themes are executed beautifully (he had the nous to have his cake and eat it with that concept – you can produce half an album’s worth of ignorant music under the pretext that it forms half of a concept album exploring positive and negative stereotypes)…..and musically I can’t name another album that sounds like it AND on top of that it still sounds fresh.

It’s the sort of work form a major artist that you just wouldn’t get now, intellectually challenging, scathing, impassioned….there’s not enough superlatives to do it justice.

But never in the history of recorded music – scratch that – ENTERTAINMENT, has anyone fallen off as hard as Cube did, and as a long term fan it pains me greatly to say that.
