Ice is back to the old OG we ALL loved!
Not since the O.G. and Home Invasion days has Ice come back hard and back to his gangsta rap roots. This CD is tight as hell, each track a true gem. Ice keepin' hittin' us with albums, I hate waiting 3 years per album now, but hearing "The 7th Deadly Sin", it was WELL worth the wait! Stay real Ice! MC AK
Ice-T back in form
Ice-T is back in form with his Seventh Sin album which is a far better effort than the lacklustre Return of The Real.
Most of the songs on the album are excellent and "Check your game" with King Tee is one of the dopest Ice-T cuts ever. WHile the album is not up to the dizzy heights of O.G and Home Invasion, it's still an excellent hardcore hip hop album as only Ice-T can deliver.
I wish I could have given this LP 5 starts....
...but unfortunately I just can't.
ICE T ends up sounding like he's trying too hard to compensate for his lack of relevance. ICE -- you once were the undisputed king of "breaking down the game" when you wrote gems like "COLORS" and "PEEL THEIR CAPS BACK." But now you are just another face in the sea of gangsterism with this record -- plus you don't have any of the eye-opening political commentary that make you unique.
On this release, ICE T also sounds like he's trying too hard to overcome his dwindling credibility (anyone remember that bizarre kangaroo suit he wore for the film "Tank Girl"? Unfortunately I do. But pure testosterone and mock-underground vibes can't really undo the damage done.
HOWEVER -- given the fact that I (and many others who appreciate real hip-hop) hold ICE T to a much higher standard due to the fact that he's a living legend -- this album still comes off better than most of the competition! And that is definitely testimate to his success!
Songs like "Always Want to be a H*e" are ruthlessly genious! And the track with the slept-on KING T is seriously bumping.
Get this record-- but be prepared. It's unique in it's own way; it's not essential, but it will grow on you.
Real Hardcore RAP!
None of that Jay Z, 50 Cent, Ja Rule CRAP!
Ice T like he has always done produced another WestCoast Hardcore Gangsta Rap CD! This by far is his best album, showing he still got skills! Only song I don't care for is "New York New York", but all the others are bangin.
P.S Jay Z speaks on the first song, but no ones perfect.. right?
Ice-T proves that he's one of the Greatest!
another class album by Ice-T ,different type of songs in it. I feel every of the cuts ,some like "Valuble Game" among others its instant classics.
must-a-hear album
