Review - Amazon.com :
Back-to-back tracks in the middle of Lethal Injection are all the proof we need that Ice Cube is a great talent. "What Can I Do?" opens with a strings-and-wah-wah motif from an early-'70s blaxploitation film and follows with a "Superfly" tale about a high-level drug dealer. Next up is "Lil Ass Gee," the story of a 12-year-old wanna-be gangster. Just a few years ago he was playing with G.I. Joe dolls, and now he's playing with real guns and making real babies. On both numbers, the rapper's rich, resonant baritone bleeds into the synth strings with a sense of fatefulness that's chilling to hear. But Ice Cube's career is a tragedy. A mesmerizing storyteller, a seductive vocalist, and a brilliantly inventive producer of aural collages, the Compton homeboy has squandered his talent on a vision so poisoned by right-wing racism and sexism that it has lost all credibility. --Geoffrey HimesCustomer review - 2000-07-10
- People don't know what they're missingThis is the best cd Cube has ever made, period. Why only 4 stars? I dunno. But this definetely deserves 5 stars because it has the best songs you'll ever hear out of gangsta rap like One Nation (Bop Gun), Ghetto Bird, Really Doe and so many more. I know it only has 12 tracks but, people, listen to the quality on this record...It's phonomenal. I have hardly seen any rapper or music artist, for that matter put so much quality and chance into an album. I hope you go by my word and make this cd a part of your collection.

- Great talent ruined by questionable lyricsThe title says it all. Ice Cube's undeniable talent was definitely misguided by his Afrocentrist and racist lyrics.

- Pretty Good but the Formula is starting to set inIce Cube is a Legend in the Game.but this Disc while Pretty Good does have Formula Creeping in.the songs that stand out are Ghetto Bird,You Know How we Do It,What Can I Do?(Which Puts America on Notice for The past 400 Years)When I Get To Heaven is a Solid Track.but the rest of The Disc is Formula and starts going down and He hasn't Recovered Yet.still when he is on He can't be Faded.

- Rhythm of the jinxThe rhythm of the jinx or hoodoo music is ok. I use to listen to the album quite a bit when I was younger but as I get older I think this guy is just subliminal. I did not know you could jinx when you actually advertise yourself to the public or when responding to others comments not directed at them? the power of the jinx has gone too far. The beats are none other than subliminal it is what to be expected. Like all rap albums like this though when ice cube is 60 or 65 you will listen to probably Marvin Gaye or the Supremes, or anything Motown or Chess.
