''Kill at Will'' (also known as ''At Will'' in its censored version) is the debut EP released by Ice Cube on July 1, 1990〔http://web.archive.org/web/20071015041915/http://hiphop.sh/cube?page=0%2C1〕 under Priority Records.〔http://web.archive.org/web/20071015041915/http://hiphop.sh/cube?page=0%2C1〕 It was released soon after ''AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted'' and capitalized off Cube's newfound solo success. ==Overview== ''Kill at Will'' contains two of Ice Cube's most famous tracks, the rambunctious "Jackin' for Beats", and the soulful ode "Dead Homiez". "Dead Homiez" was Cube's second solo single/music video. The song deals with the violence, death, and social problems of the inner city neighborhoods and is essentially a dedication to all those killed through urban violence. The song was praised later on by countless rap artists and critics, and is one of the first hip hop songs to deal with the pain and loss suffered specifically by the families of black men lost to black on black violence. "Jackin' for Beats", likewise, began the popular trend of an MC rapping over the various instrumentals of popular beats, which rotate during the course of one song. The song and its sentiment is an excellent example of plunderphonics. The EP was remastered and added to the reissue of the ''AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted'' album in 2003. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kill at Will」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
