Lethal Injection is the fourth studio album by California-based rapper Ice Cube. Similar to the rapper's previous albums, it was a commercial hit, debuting at #5 on the Billboard 200 with 215,000 copies sold in its first week. However, it was heavily criticized for what many saw as Cube's pandering to gangsta rap, and toning down of the socio-political content found on his earlier efforts. The album's standing has increased over time. It includes the popular singles; "You Know How We Do It", and the Funkadelic-sampling "Bop Gun (One Nation)", which became a staple on MTV.

“I’m still in my PJs, he’s in a Turtleneck sweater...and we Down for Whatever.”
Yeah, this is when he started tryna get into G-Funk and ? and got away from that ? uptempo sound he always had...One of my fave albums though. -
Cave ? is one of the most hilarious songs ever made but still spitting true ? at the same time
-
Last decent ? he ever put out. You Know How We Do It is a classic.
-
This is the album of my youth

Damn! Bolded made me google cubes discography. Wow, lookin at it. ur right. Its crazy tho, cuz as much as a legend as cube is. His last dope solo cd was dropped in 93. Let that settle in. -
That's how strong his first four albums are. -
damn good album. ? would be a certified classic for anybody else. but being a top 5 mc is a blessing and a curse. cube's work with nwa and his first 4 solo albums were so ? good that lethal injection, which would be a goat album for anyone not named oshea jackson, was the beginning of his decline.
pac was headlining a new generation. snoop, nas, outkast and the wu were on their way to becoming legends and cube's time at the top was ending. friday came out the next year and cube took over hollywood. he took the game in a new direction just before the music passed him by. its hard to see a legend go out like a lame (krs-1) but cube got out just in time and became an even bigger legend on the big screen. lethal injection was his last dope album but cube didnt have to make music anymore after friday. -
That Ice Cube album cover rumor to be a diss to Eazy E before they reconcile. -
Unpopular opinion but this my favorite Cube album
Came back the west coast funk sound -
I was a Cube fan between Straight Outta Compton and Death Certificate but he lost me between Predator and Lethal Injection.
How was that Westside Connection album? -
I remember the night this came out.. Me and my brother was listening to it in his Pontiac fiero on our way to watch Mike and scottie put it down and the United center.

How can you claim to be an Ice Cube fan then say he lost you on Predator? Predator and Death Certificate were his best two albums and they came right behind each other. Death Certificate predicted the 92 riots and Preadotr explained why. Predator was the continuation of Death Certificate. How in the hell can like one and not the other? ? are you talking about?

Whenever an album as good as this one can be considered substandard you know you are dealing with an epic mc. If Lethal Injection was a WC, Kam or Mac 10 album it would have been considered the highlight of their career. Only Ice Cube could drop an album this solid and have it rated a 3/5. His run from Eazy Does It - Predator is unparalleled.
