Product Description
Amazon.ca
A seven-track postscript to AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted (built around a remix of that album's "Endangered Species," with a blistering new verse by Chuck D.), and a booming car tape for short drives, this is why people thought gangsta rap was a good idea at the time. It's got a certain amount of filler and goofiness (like "Jackin' For Beats," with Cube kicking it over a bunch of famous grooves), but it's also got some great quick-cut music from Sir Jinx and the Bomb Squad, and two of the darkest, toughest, truest tracks Cube's ever done: "The Product," a scathing indictment of the system that destroys America's underclass, and "Dead Homies," a clear-eyed look at the aftermath of violence. --Douglas Wolk

CUBE'S BEST
May 2 2000
By Mike Jones
- Published on Amazon.com
KILL AT WILL is Ice Cube's most thought provoking body of work. Along with Chuck D's "Welcome to the Terrordome"(Fear of a Black Planet) the "Product" is an all-time hip-hop classic standout. It combines poetic/metaphoric lyrics that detail the "American Justice System" and its production of imprisoned impoverished Black youth....simply genius. When Cube isn't being political on this ep, he still shines with "Jackin' for Beats" and "Get of My D*ck N*g and........." both are humorus and creative. I'm not the biggest Cube fan now but there was a time when he was creating music that was "ART" and came from the "SOUL". Recently, I shared the "Product" with a classroom of teenaged students to demonstrate literary allusion and artistry in hip-hop and they were blown away by his tale that lead from physical conception to incarceration.....Check it out!

Cube Was On A Roll {4 Stars}
July 26 2006
By Norfeest
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This album came out during a period in which Ice Cube simply couldn't do any wrong. Everything he dropped was golden and Kill At Will was no exception. Though it was only 6 tracks deep (JD's Gafflin' Pt. 2 is an interlude), it was just as strong as, if not stronger than, a lot of the other 1990 rap albums. Classics like "Dead Homies" and "Jackin' For Beats" make grabbing this a good idea, but there are also great tracks like "The Product" and "Endangered Species" [Remix] that make this a must have album.
As with most dope albums, the only thing I can find wrong is the short length, but it's an EP so......
Kill At Will is probably one of the better EPs out there in the rap world. This was back when Cube was on a roll and dropped dope album after dope album every year. It plays more like a b-side to Amerikkka's Most Wanted, but I'd say that that's a good thing. If you want to hear what Ice Cube sounded like when he was still hungry, then I recommend grabbing this if you can find it.
Standout Tracks: The Product, Jackin' For Beats, Dead Homies, Endangered Species [Remix] feat. Chuck D, and Get Off My D**k And Tell Yo B**ch To Come Here [Remix]

Every song is good
Dec 15 2002

Every song on this seven track EP is good. Although it only has 7 tracks, I'm reviewing this based on the quality, not quantity. This reminds me alot of Amerikkka's Most Wanted which is a good thing since it is one of the best albums of all time. "Dead Homies" and "The Product" are 2 Cube classics that, unfortunately, not many people have heard since it is on this hard to find EP. If you can find it, buy it immediately, but good luck doing so.
