Kill at Will is a seven track EP, released by Ice Cube in 1990. It was released soon after AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, and capitalized off Cube's newfound solo success. The EP quickly shipped Gold in sales, a first for a hip hop EP, and a year later, had sold over a million copies. It featured a remix of "Endangered Species", featuring a brand new verse from Public Enemy's Chuck D. Kill at Will is considered by Ice Cube fans to be among his best works, and original vinyl pressings are still highly sought after.
Kill at Will contains two of Ice Cube's most famous tracks, the rambunctious "Jackin' for Beats", and the soulful ode "Dead Homiez". "Dead Homiez" was Cube's second solo single/music video. The song deals with the violence, death, and social problems of the inner city ghettos and is essentially a dedication to all those killed through urban violence. The song was praised later on by countless rap artists and critics, and is one of the first hip hop songs to deal with the pain and loss suffered specifically by the families of black men lost to black on black violence.
"Jackin' for Beats", likewise, began the popular trend of an MC rapping over the various instrumentals of popular beats, which rotate during the course of one song. The song and its sentiment is an excellent example of plunderphonics.
The EP was remastered and added to the re-release of the AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted album in 2003.

@fucker661 Yep those are all good! Let's see, really shortly at 1:21 is Big Beat by Billy Squier, 2:04 is Humpty Dance by Digital Underground, again really shortly at 2:18 is Funky President by James Brown, 2:30 is Funky Drummer by James Brown, 2:35 is Big Ole Butt by LL Cool J. That covers most of them, not counting small scratched samples.

@jiggabonis
Fun Fact 2: Humpty was a character played by Shock G... I only found this out 3 months ago (21 years later) - That means I believed he existed for longer than Santa!
