Ice Cube's Death Certificate Turns 20: The True Story Behind "My Summer Vacation"

This week's ice cube death certificate celebrates its 20th anniversary. This album - we ranked 7th in the most popular 20 Los Angeles record charts in history - no longer political in hip - hop albums. This is an amazing projection that we are targeting police, government, the owner of grocery stores in Korea, white women aspiring to black women, and many other goals. Today it is a pleasant shock to listen to it in times when nobody wants to make someone angry.

But one of the best tracks at work, "My Summer Vacation", does not care about political issues. Instead, it brought big threads to Los Angeles drug dealers - to avoid police censorship and boost profit - to travel to St. Louis in the summer. I found that this song has a foundation in real life.

I studied the background of the song early in 2005 when I was a staff writer of Los Angeles Weekly's sister magazine Riverfront Times.

Although Cube probably never experienced the incident he explained, he got a story directly from the two Da Lench Mob members, Shorty and J - Dee. According to the people in St. Louis I talked about, their story was definitely over. In fact, in the mid 1980s, members of the gang in Los Angeles went to inland areas nationwide and tried to open a shop. In addition to their paintings, they also brought their slang, their gang logos, and even their driving shots. Suddenly, people are buying what is not familiar before, like Inglewood.

The color that was previously harmless has a whole new meaning. The owner of a barber 's school in the northern part of the city told me that he would not wear a red overall as he was worried that the students would walk the wrong way.

But the fate of these blankets is short lived. After all, St. Louis already has its own gang and they immediately retracted to try to get back the neighborhood.

Crips and the Bloods have permanently established outposts in other Midwest and Southern cities, but the pride of the St. Louis region took over and the popularity of these gangs was not truly taken over. In "My Summer Vacation", the narrator is leaving the town. When a policeman attacked him and put him in the early morning, he was imprisoned at last.

For me this song is another sign of the glory of the death certificate. It is one of having a strong opinion, "My summer vacation" shows great news concentrating on making the story easy. I would like to know if Cube is suitable for some freelancers.

Death certificate is not the best album of Cube. In May 1990, Amelikka's "most important wanted" became more tense and the peak of "predator" in 1992 became even higher after the Los Angeles rebellion caused by Rodney King's decision It was. However, death certificates are the most important album of Ice Cube, one of the most important pieces of rap history. A few months after the star of the cube changed, the dead Doughboy released in the summer of 1991 released Boyz in the Hood and issued a death certificate before the very attractive first single "Steady Mobbin" did. There are few rap albums. Kings' videos show that the LAPD gang was attacking black drivers for six months and their trials will not be started anymore six more times. We already shipped a million death certificate and received platinum certification two months after it arrived at the store

This week's ice cube death certificate celebrates its 20th anniversary. This album - we ranked seventh in the most popular 20 Los Angeles record charts ever - not politic anymore in hip-hop albums. This is an amazing projection that we are targeting police, government, the owner of grocery stores in Korea, white women aspiring to black women, and many other goals. Today it is a pleasant shock to listen to it in times when nobody wants to make someone angry.

After leaving NWA in December 1989, Ice Cube began a successful career at AmeriKKa's Most Wanted (1990) and Death Certificate (1991) album releases. Both have received Platinum certification in the United States. Classified as an album that defines the 1990's. Most of his music works include rigid social and political commentary and storytelling, which is often considered one of consistent influence and the highest ever rapper ever. He has numerous publications and artists I'm getting the praise of.
