"Death Certificate" is the second studio album by American rapper Ice Cube, released on October 29, 1991 by Priority Records. The album was produced by Ice Cube, DJ Pooh, and Sir Jinx, and it features guest appearances from George Clinton, Chuck D, and J-Dee of Latyrx.
The album has been widely praised for its social commentary and Ice Cube's sharp, aggressive lyrics. Its themes center on racial profiling, police brutality, and inner-city crime, and it addresses these issues with a sense of urgency and anger that was rare in mainstream hip hop at the time.
In addition to its social commentary, the album also features more traditional gangsta rap themes, such as violence and drug use. The track "Givin' Up the Nappy Dugout" is a prime example of this, with Ice Cube rapping about drug dealing and violence in the inner city.
"Death Certificate" is a powerful and important album that addresses a range of social and political issues with intelligence and conviction. Its themes are still relevant today, and the album remains a classic of the gangsta rap genre.
