Total legitimate anger....

"This is an angry CD. Almost all of the lyrics on this CD aredirected at someone. It was recorded in '92 ... There was a lot to be mad about-- and on this disc, it all comes out..... maybe to the point where it is almost.... almost... in self-parody....But it's not. And the anger still resonates, and if this is not remembered as one of THE CDs of the whole 'gangsta' era, it pretty much shows how messed up the world is. I still carry this CD in my car. I still listen to this once a week. In so many ways, it's my favorite rap CD....If you've not heard it, and want to remember/realize how messed up the world is, buy this disc. If you want to have a CD that is dark.... buy this CD.... another disc from the same year that is pretty tight is the 'Menace II Society' soundtrack-- I'd buy that too... and then watch the movie....It's all pretty haunting..."

"this cd reminds me of my childhood back in the 70's, then when i hear it now it still sounds like some old blaxploitation soundtrack.starts off saying about the system of how criminals, and slaves have been killed yes i mean black people and don't think racism is dead cause rappers have crossedover, yes people have been axed, burned alive, buried alive, mutilated, dragged, hung, shot, crucified, raped, drowned, left out in a abandoned area to rot, talks about the last black man who was executed and th e white folks love this, i miss music like this cube need to refocus his views back on these issues. even though jd, t bone, and shorty shines mostly on this cd. lench mob was ahead of their time predicting the rise of the slim shady syndrome."

A Must Have Classic!

"I have both "Guerillas In Tha Mist" and "Planet Of Da Apes", and while both CD's are some of West Coast's at its finest, "Guerillas In Tha Mist" really stands the test of time. Both CD's are in my car changer at all times. This CD is real, and the issues rapped about were as legit in 1992 as they are today (unfortunately). Bangin' bass, kickin' drums, and three angry men plus Ice Cube equals one hard CD. I bang some songs off of this CD on the bar jukebox, and the younger crowd always ask me "who IS this?!" It would seem that the "old school" sound still has it. This CD is not for the meek. If you are white, and you can't laugh at yourself, then don't buy this CD. Racism abounds on this CD, and it's a little weird being on the receiving end of it, being a poor preppy white boy in living in small-town, USA. All in all, this CD is must have for any West Coast fan. Trust me, as I have had to replace stolen copies three times now! ;) Buy "Planet Of Da Apes" too! "Menace II Society" is also a good purchase as "Guerillas Ain't Gangstas" is one of my favorite Lench Mob tracks."
