The Predator (album)

Untitled

The Predator is a 1992 album by Ice Cube. Released within months after the 1992 Los Angeles riots, many of its songs comment on the racial tensions during that period. Out of all his albums, it has been the most successful, with over 5 million copies sold in the US. The success of The Predator is due in part to the major success of the popular single "It Was a Good Day".

The Predator is the first album in which Ice Cube uses G-Funk music for some of his songs and comments about the youth culture in LA and the Ghetto.

It Was A Good Day peaked at #27 in the UK Charts in March 1993, as well as Check Yo Self which reached #36 in August.
