#ThrowbackThursdays: Ice Cube Drops Debut Solo Album "Amerikkka's Most Wanted" In 1990

By Kyle Eustice • May 16, 2019

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 30 years since Ice Cube unleashed his explosive solo debut, Amerikkka’s Most Wanted. Released on May 16, 1990, the 16-track project boasted production from Dr. Dre’s cousin Sir Jinx, Cube himself and Public Enemy’s longtime production team The Bomb Squad.

Unsurprisingly, it featured iconic P.E. duo Chuck D and Flavor Flav as well as Compton queen Yo-Yo, who unapologetically gives men a piece of her mind on “It’s A Man’s World.”

In 1991, they performed the song together in at the Apollo Theater in New York City, something she’ll never forget.

“One of the best performances ever was our trip to the Apollo in New York,” she tells HipHopDX. “We came out on stage and the crowd went ballistic! It was a historical show! New York never welcomed N.W.A like they welcomed Ice Cube at that time.

“Cube came out and had a bat in his hand, swinging it and talking shit about women and here I come gracing the stage talking shit right back. The crowd went crazy! They threw money on the stage. It was a night to remember.”
