Ice Cube - AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted (Vinyl Record)

Setting the stage:

I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…

Ice Cube:

Ice Cube is a legendary force in hip-hop, known for his razor-sharp lyrics, unapologetic attitude, and political defiance. Rising to fame as a founding member of the iconic group N.W.A., he was a primary voice behind their groundbreaking album Straight Outta Compton. After splitting from the group, Ice Cube launched a solo career that redefined the genre, blending gritty street tales with biting social commentary. Beyond music, Ice Cube has become a cultural icon, he wrote and starred in the film Friday, produced numerous movies, and built himself a multimedia empire. It all started in Compton with his fiery rhymes and unrelenting truth-telling, making him one of hip-hop’s most respected and influential pioneers.

Ice Cube - AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted:

This double LP is a monumental moment in hip-hop history. AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted (1990) marked Ice Cube’s solo debut after leaving N.W.A., and it pulled no punches. With production by the Bomb Squad (of Public Enemy fame), the album was an East-meets-West collaboration that fused political fire with head-knocking beats. It’s widely credited with launching Cube as one of the most powerful voices in rap, tackling systemic racism, street life, and media manipulation. Also included is Kill at Will, the first hip-hop EP to go platinum. With hits like “Jackin’ for Beats” and “Dead Homiez,” Cube doubled down on his creative freedom and lyrical boldness. This reissue set not only delivers two of the most impactful hip-hop releases ever pressed, it cements Ice Cube’s place as a voice for the unheard.
