'Roll Call is a rousing in-your-face song from start to finish. 'It' a gutter street track, adds Ice Cube. 'I'm talking about, if you mess with us, stuff' going to happen, just basically rapping, bragging, talking trash. Whenever I get a chance, I like to do records like this that are built straight for underground hip-hop. It' has that underground feel that makes you want to rhyme.
