It is essentially just a Single for "Cop Killer" with 17 bonus tracks. But only if you have the original pressing, otherwise it is just trash. Even Cop Killer was a stupid song, only reason they are remembered is for the controversy surrounding the track. Otherwise they are forgettable and rather awful.

I will just say that I couldn't disagree more. The album itself is not a single for the song Cop Killer, Ice T eventually removed the track from the CD because he felt the controversy surrounding it was taking away from the whole record. There were three singles put out for the album as a whole, but only one became highly controversial, which was not Ice T's original intent, he was simply expressing his frusturation at the police brutality & harassment that plagued the Ghetto. I remember the fallout from the Rodney King episode and things were pretty tense.
As for the rest of the record, I think it's is a solid album filled with catchy classics like Momma's Gotta Die Tonight, Voodoo & Charles Heston's favourite, KKK Bitch, plus Ernie C is a good guitarist to boot. That is the beauty of music though, it's highly subjective...anyways disapproval noted if things get revamped, hopefully the next band makes up for it, cheers.
