 the one that started it for me April 3, 2008
this was the first ice t album i heard and for the sheer power, and skill i think it was for its time and even now, way ahead of its time. this was when it was stripped dow, raw, and just awesome. sure there were many before and after this but this was the one album that i will always have. the first time i put the cassette in i was a fan... this is a classic album that you play today and people still remember it...
 NOT original recordings!!! June 25, 2007
i had this tape when i was in jr. high and IT RULED! i thought id replace my lost tape with a cd. WRONG. is this a remix or something? if youre looking for old school ice-t, dont waste your money on this.

I'm not a huge fan of rap, but Ice-T deserves a lot of credit - or infamy - for creating a new genre of music: "Gangsta Rap". Sure, this album sounds dated by today's standards, and subsequent Ice-T albums are better, but this is a classic album that opened the floodgates for this new form of music. Ice-T is a genius, whether or not you agree with his views on the world, and this is a must have album for fans - and even non-fans - of the genre.

I've been an Ice T fan for years..I'm 31 years old and still this is a dope album to this day..I have over 500 hip hop cd's and this one is def. a classic..He's gone to do more since then..rememba his movies...But his best album is OG..just like me..

For me Ice-T is one of the best rappers ever and I've spent long hours listening to his hardcore gangster rap. Kind of odd for a middle-aged white guy but what can I say? His in your face, pro-freedom of speech attitude is one that I hold myself. He is one of the founding fathers of gangster rap and one of it's most innovative lyricists. I've seen Ice-T do his rap act only once but have seen him with his band Body Count four times and he puts on a tremendous show.
Rhyme Pays is Ice-T's first album and to be honest I only really like one song on it. The lyrics are clever, as is the case on most of Ice-T's albums, but the beats start to drone on a little a bit at times. Nevertheless, it's very pretty cool mostly.
But it only gets one star:
6 'N the Mornin' *

Ratings: CDs are rated simply by how many good songs are on the album. Great songs get two stars, and good songs get one star. Songs that get no stars are those that I might like but not enough to give it a star or ones I find boring or actively dislike. CDs are not penalized for songs that I don't like because they are easy enough to skip over. There is no maximum number of stars a CD can get, but of course the more stars it gets, the better the CD.
As with all reviews, these are my subjective opinions on the album.
