Damn this is tough!!! the three song arc of Bird In The Hand to Alive on Arrival is just genius but there's some jawns on there (I Wanna Kill Sam comes to mind) but AMW also has some equal moments of and as well (Turn Off The Radio).
This is probably the closest to impossible to call out of all of these things. They're both classics (and I barely ever say that about anything), and these days, my answer is "whichever one I listened to more recently." So until I next listen to Death Certificate, my answer is AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted.
Damn...now I wanna go listen to Death Certificate.
Though I'm a fan of AMW, I gotta go with Death Certificate. Definitely Cube's most focused album lyrically, and the beats are ridiculous.
Predator was a step down, but there still was dope shit on there. "We Had to Tear This M__F___ Up" is hard as fuck, and probably my favorite Muggs production.
AMW, too many cuts, too many samples to count, from the walking of the officer down to Cube's cell at the beginning to Chuck D at the end, its The Bomb.

Rollin' wit' the Toe Tag, batches. Top five hip hop albums of all time, with "Bird in the Hand," in my top 5 songs.
Yes.. Bird in the Hand/Man's Best Friend/No Vaseline .. These tracks put Death Certificate over the top. It's damn close though. Both top 10 albums for sure. Predator sucked except for Wicked.
i remember my friend handing me his headphones with AMW playing on the other end on a busride home from school in either 5th or 6th grade. i bought a bootleg cassette the next day and played that shit until the tape broke. i love deathcertificate but i gotta go with AMW.
"Death Certificate" for me.... one of the first LP's I actually made sure I copped on a US pressing (the domestic UK edition did not have "Black Korea" or "No Vaseline")
definitely more focused than the first LP, I have always loved "Color Blind"... hell, even "Steady Mobbin" is dope.
"Predator" was dope - but I rarely go back to it, shit like "Wicked" has not aged well.... "Lethal Injection" was a horse shite though.

True... but pick ONE!!!!!
(Predator sucks)
I just threw that in to the hatterism started.
On the real, Predator may not be as good as Death Cert or Amerikkka's Most, but "sucks"? Are you serious?
yes! the hommie deej to the rescue. (never thought I'd say those words).
fuck it - I'm rolling with America's most wanted.
Damn...now I wanna go listen to Death Certificate.
and Amerikkka is no slouch either.
Death Certificate
my 3 song arc goes from "Givin up the Nappy Dug Out" to "Bird in the Hand"
and "Predator" does not suck at all
Lethal Injection...now that suckedddd

Why all the hate for Predator and Lethal Injection? Not nearly
as good as the two up for debate, for sure, but they both had some
cuts.
Predator hasn't aged particularly well but isn't a bad album when not held up to the genius of AMW and Death Certificate.
One of the best LP's ever.
"Oh yeah, It aint over muthafuckas......"
