When rap exploded creatively and commercially in the late 1980s, Ice Cube was at the forefront of the expansion. Lethal Injection is his fourth studio album, and similar to the rapper’s previous albums, it was a commercial hit, debuting at #5 on the Billboard 200. It includes the popular singles; “You Know How We Do It”, and the Funkadelic-sampling “Bop Gun (One Nation)”, which became a staple on MTV.
