I maintain that Ice Cube has the best run of albums out of any hip hop artist, and maybe from any genre altogether.
Straight Outta Compton
AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
Death Certificate
Guerillas in tha Mist
The Predator
Lethal Injection
Bow Down
From his arrival with N.W.A, going solo, Da Lynch Mob, (that he is basically a member of), and then this, his success rate is unmatched. This has a fantastic start. The first three songs are fire and it never drops off much until the final three songs that just fall away enough for me to not give this a higher rating. The beats bang with some nice west coast g-funk touches and you can't go wrong with Cube and WC in particular, who are two of the best to come from the west, and Mack 10 does his thing as well. 3.5-4 / 5.
Beats: ★★★★
Rapping/Bars: ★★★★☆
Hooks: ★★★☆
Best Tracks: Bow Down, Gangstas Make the World Go Round, All the Critics in New York, The Gangsta, the Killa and the Dope Dealer
