So we get yet another explosion of ego in the form of a gangsta rap album, where the word "woman" is synonymous with "ho" and "bitch" (it's even a track title this time!). "First Impression" is a fifty second interlude featuring a woman who sounds like the lady from the London Underground. She outlines some of the issues with Ice T's music only to reveal that she is actually on his dick, perhaps literally. What a twist.

But I'm always interested in the tracks that reference police brutality. "Street Killer" was a highlight for me, but it is so mired in other tripe that it's easy to miss.

"So ladies, we aren't just talking about you, because some of your niggas are bitches too." Wow, I feel much better now. 

RATING: 2/5
