I doubt there exists a single hip hop track by a black MC in which the MC expresses a desire to kill his own mother.

Actually, Ice-T (AKA Tracy Lauren Marrow) currently seen on TV’s Law & Order, had a lovely tune on his album Body Count (Which was famous for the melodious single “Cop Killer”)entitled “Momma’s Gonna Die Tonight”

Let me correct myself—It’s Momma’s Gotta Die Tonight” not “Gonna” I realized my typo—it’s tough keeping track of those subtle musical nuances.

That's not a hip-hop track, it's a heavy metal track about a protagonist who kills his mother due to her racist objection to his white girlfriend.

It was, not surprisingly, marketed to a white heavy metal audience that was quite familiar with bloody Oedipal themes.

I remember a coworker of mine at the time recommending the album to me because: "You white boys love that crazy metal ****, right? I think Ice-T lost his damn mind."

Not quite Run DMC/Aerosmith, eh?
