Being an early 90s kid my first experience with gaming was gen 3 with NES. Family were into Super Mario so that was my first game to experience as a young kid

The Predator (1992) by Ice Cube is an undisputed West Coast classic that deserves zero overlooking. Released in the aftermath of the 1992 L.A. riots, the album is raw, reflective, and fiercely relevant — a defining moment in Ice Cube’s solo career and a pillar of early '90s hip-hop. 🔥 It features absolute gems, starting with the legendary "It Was a Good Day" — a masterclass in storytelling that paints a vivid picture of a rare, peaceful day in South Central L.A. The laid-back beat, sampling The Isley Brothers, contrasts beautifully with Cube’s sharp lyricism. And yes, the remix version adds even more grit and groove. Then there’s "Wicked", a menacing, high-energy track that showcases Ice Cube’s rage and defiance in the face of systemic injustice. It’s aggressive, unapologetic, and still hits like a sledgehammer. Don’t forget "Check Yo Self" — a word to the wise backed by a clever interpolation of Grandmaster Flash’s “The Message.” It's both a banger and a warning, reinforcing Cube’s status as a lyrical street prophet. From political commentary to personal introspection to straight-up bangers, The Predator captures the essence of Ice Cube at his peak. Overlook this album? Never. It’s not just a record — it’s a cultural document. 🧊🎤📀
