Which is to say, O'Shea was that motherfucker to everyone else.
As we've seen with so many other artists, a change in scenery is sometimes all it takes to create brilliance, and that was exactly the case for Ice Cube. After taking advantage of the East Coast's response to the West Coast sound with Bomb Squad production (don't take that the wrong way, the Bomb Squad were, and still are, the shit), he decided he might as well touch down back in California to see how the real thing would sound. His sophomore effort featured instrumentals provided by The Boogie Men (a three-man team made up of DJ Pooh, Bobcat, and Rashad), Dr. Dre's cousin Sir Jinks, and he even got behind the boards himself. The result was a more layered, dense soundscape, but one that would also sound angrier than his debut. And that's not a small feat, let's remember that the in-your-face nature of Amerikkka's Most Wanted was a revelation for its time.
