A lot of people are critical of this album but I disagree. You have to realize what Ice went through to get this out after being released by Time Warner. He has a lot of anger on this and on previous Body Count Album but people take it way too literally. He was pushing the boundaries of free speech so everyone who followed would have it easier then he did. As far as the tracks there is a lot to like on this album. He constantly changes the type of beats and rhythms throughout keeping things fresh. My favorite cuts are It's On, That's How I'm Livin', I Ain't New Ta This, Gotta Lot of Love, 99 Problems which was later made a huge hit by Jay-Z, and Message to the Soldier. I grew up a big fan of Ice-T and especially during this period with Original Ganster, Body Count and his performance at Lollapalooza. I understand he lost a lot of fans with this album but who needs them.
