First Impressions: The 50 Best Hip-Hop Intro Tracks

28. Ice Cube – “The Nigga You Love To Hate”
Produced By Bomb Squad & Da Lench Mob ! Album: AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted (1990)

Who would of thought a Compton kid in his early 20’s could leave one of rap’s most influential groups at the height of its’ career and become even bigger by himself?!

That’s exactly what Ice Cube did by leaving N.W.A. due to financial disagreements and controversially team up with New York’s Bomb Squad to make his classic solo debut.

Cube could feel the hate he was getting and addressed it right off the bat with this song’s chanted chorus.

“FUCK YOU ICE CUBE!”

Memorable Lines:

Once again it’s on, the motherfucking psycho
Ice Cube the bitch killa, cap peeler
Yo, running through the line like Bo
It’s no pot to piss in
I put my fist in
