Top tracks: You Played Yourself | This One’s On Me | The Hunted Child | Lethal Weaponĥ3. The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech… Just Watch What You Say! is a tight album, one of Ice T’s best and the one that established Ice-T as one of Hip Hop’s most prominent and authentic personalities. The album’s most important theme – as evidenced in the album’s subtitle and the song “Freedom Of Speech” – is the PMRC censorship that was being imposed on Hip Hop artists at the time. The chilled-out album opener “The Iceberg”, the dope 9-minute posse cut “What Ya Wanna Do”, the personal “This One’s For Me”, the gangster tale “Peel Their Caps Back”, the thought-provoking “You Played Yourself”, the multi-layered noise on “The Hunted Child” and “Lethal Weapon” – this album is packed with dope tracks. From the epic, ominous intro “Shut Up, Be Happy” (featuring Jello Biafra and brilliantly interpolating Black Sabbath’s classic “Black Sabbath”) to the all-out fun “My Word Is Bond” – this album has something for everybody. Ice-T‘s grittiest album, but one with great variation lyrically as well as sonically. “Cos I’m the coldest motherf***** that you ever heard / Call me The Ice…or just The Iceberg” (The Iceberg) Top tracks: Shake Your Rump | Hey Ladies | Shadrach | B-Boy Bouillabaisse They were never afraid to reinvent themselves and stretch (and cross) genre boundaries, while at the same time keeping it real.Ī timeless masterpiece, Paul’s Boutique will forever be remembered as a classic album, in music, not just in Hip Hop.
Now considered a landmark album in Hip Hop, it’s the ultimate example for what the Beastie Boys always stood for: creativity and innovation. Initially a commercial failure, Paul’s Boutique aged like fine wine and with it the appreciation for it. Paul’s Boutique was completely different from Beastie Boys‘ much easier accessible and commercially super successful debut album Licensed To Ill, and not what a lot of fans of that album were expecting. Was there ever an album, in any genre, that used sampling more brilliantly and creatively than Paul’s Boutique? This album truly is sampling heaven. “Now I rock a house party at the drop of a hat / I beat a biter down with an aluminum bat / a lot of people they be Jonesin’ just to hear me rock the mic / they’ll be staring at the radio / staying up all night” (Shake Your Rump)
