NIGGA'S ARE IN THE STATE OF EMERGENCY
THE DEATH SIDE A MIRRORED IMAGE OF WHERE WE ARE TODAY
THE LIFE SIDE A VISION OF WHERE WE NEED TO GO
SO SIGN YOUR DEATH CERTIFICATE...
-ICE CUBE.

"THE REASON I SAY NIGGA IS BECAUSE WE ARE MENTALLY DEAD EVEN IN 1991. WE HAVE LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF SELF, SO IT LEADS TO A NIGGA MENTALITY. THE BEST PLACE FOR A YOUNG BLACK MALE OR FEMALE IS THE NATION OF ISLAM. SOON AS WE AS A PEOPLE USE OUR KNOWLEDGE OF SELF TO OUR ADVANTAGE WE WILL THEN BE ALBE TO BECOME AND BE CALLED BLACKS."
-ICE CUBE.

Two other retail pressings with the same catalog numbers exist: a version made by a different manufacturer (Death Certificate).

    Does anyone have the original pressing that contains the sample of "Commotion" by Creedence Clearwater Revival on the intro to "I Wanna Kill Sam"?
