- Most critics of AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted feel that this final track is the worst on the entire album, and I'm inclined to agree with everyone, considering that the feel of this song doesn't mesh with the preceding fifteen tracks. It doesn't help that the song sounds bland as hell.
AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted is the debut solo album by Ice Cube, released on May 15, 1990 through Priority Records. The album’s title is an allusion to the television show America’s Most Wanted, with the three K’s in “America” representing the prevalence of white supremacist ideologies within America from groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.
Following his breakthrough performance on N.W.A’s seminal 1988 album Straight Outta Compton, Cube felt he wasn’t being properly compensated for his work as a performer and primary lyricist in the group. Faced with the option of signing an unfavorable contract or going solo, Cube wisely chose the latter but he was still willing to work with the group under the right circumstances.

In a 20-year album retrospective with XXL, Ice Cube revealed that Dr. Dre was on board to produce his album, but the two ultimately decided there was too much tension following N.W.A.’s breakup:
I’m pretty sure Eazy didn’t want Dre to do it. But Dre did want to do it; we gotta put that on record. Dre wanted to do my record, but it was just too crazy with the break-up of [N.W.A]. The break-up snowballed into some shit.
Cube, along with his musical partner Sir Jinx, left Los Angeles for New York to work with Public Enemy’s production team, the Bomb Squad, on the entire album after Cube joined Chuck D and Big Daddy Kane on the Public Enemy track “Burn Hollywood Burn.” Producer Hank Shocklee had Cube go to a warehouse at 510 South Franklin in Long Island and go through records to establish the album’s sound prior to recording at Greene Street Studios in Manhattan.
After a week of pre-production, the album’s recording process took about a month to complete, as Cube was anxious to release his project before N.W.A.’s 100 Miles and Runnin' EP. Cube and Jinx also produced and co-produced a few tracks alongside the Bomb Squad in order to maintain the West Coast gangsta rap sound, as some people in L.A. were skeptical about how this East Coast/West Coast pairing would work. Cube also shared the mic with Public Enemy’s Chuck D and Flavor Flav, as well as Yo-Yo, Cube’s female protégée from L.A.
Despite only having one music video for the track “Who’s the Mack?” after the album’s release, Amerikkka’s Most Wanted achieved gold status after two weeks and platinum status after two months. A re-released version of the album added the Kill At Will EP to the end of tracklist. The album was critically acclaimed, being featured on a number of ‘Albums of the Year’ lists (including #1 on Spin magazine’s list of the Best Albums of 1990) as well as ‘All-Time’ lists such as The Source magazine’s list of the Top 100 Rap Albums of All-Time.
Cube spoke on the impact of Amerikkka’s Most Wanted:
To me, AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, that’s the best. I woke up one day and that record was a phenomenon that you couldn’t get away from. It’s better than Straight Outta Compton, because that was a shock record. AmeriKKKa’s had more good songs than Compton did.

Puffy once told me that he studied AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted before doing Biggie’s first album [Ready To Die], and to me that’s a major statement. It shows that AmeriKKKa’s was the blueprint for how records were put together for a long time after that, with the skits and the whole record being one thing. It all sounds like it was made on the same day. It set the tone for a lot of records to come, for probably 10 years after that.
