O.G. Original Gangster 1991 Album

Ice-T

I often talk about distinctiveness being an important aspect of being a great rapper and dropping a classic and Ice-T has that is spades. From his voice to his flow, to even some of the production he was backed by, there is some originality present here and throughout his whole discography. The start of this album is interesting as it almost begins with three intros before the first normal length song with 'Mic Contract'. From there though it's just consistent gangsta rap with good production. It lacks anything that belongs at the top of the genre but a number aren't too far off and the quality never dips. Ice's best album. Beats: ★★★★ Bars: ★★★★☆ Best Tracks: New Jack Hustler, O.G. Original Gangster, Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous, Body Count
