"Check Yo Self" is the second hit single from Ice Cube's Predator album released in August 1993 featuring New York rappers Das EFX.

He also says the infamous line "Shotgun shells are bad for ya health!"
   There are two versions of the song, the normal original funky version which wasn't theatrically released on the music video but the other version which was a remix using the same beat as Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" done in Funk.
   In 2004 Check Yo Self appeared on popular videogame, playing on West Coast hip hop radio station Radio Los Santos. It was later released on Ice Cube's Greatest Hits album.
