From my stand point, numbers talk and bullshit walks. Ice cubes records ain't selling and neither are his movies. If telling someone the truth about their music hurts then isn't that keepin it real? Or is bullshitin and saying that track bangs and is hot even though you feel the opposite keepin it real?

Ice Cube has been the best the 80s. I don't know why he isn't even close to the top of those "best MC's in the game" lists compiled by various music channels and websites. The critics need to go back and check his repertoire....
NWA.... wouldn't have happened without Cube. Wrote most of the lyrics and was the first one to say.... Straight Outta Compton.... and Cube isn't even FROM Compton.... he still made that a household phrase.

Then he destroyed NWA by himself with "No Vaseline" in Amerikkaz Most Wanted.

Then he made an all-out classice with Death Certificate.

Then he had everyone sayin "today was a good day" with Predator.

He stayed on his politically incorrect, controversial tip with Lethal Injection..... Nas is still using this formula RIGHT NOW... Cube was doin it in 93.

Don't forget about fuckin Westside Connection.... Cube took some of the first shots in the East vs. West war and KILLED that synthesizer heavy G Funk era... bringing the West Coast to a new era.

War And Peace the War Disk was ahead of its time.... it had really high tech production for 98... it was Gangsta... still political.... and not 1% BITCH.

The Peace disk wasn't even peaceful.... but he started hood-conscious shit with "Until We Rich" Bishop Lamont is jockin Cube's 2000 style right now with "Grow Up"

Laugh Now Cry Later was Cube just str8 rappin' down to the rest of the Game. He said what he wanted to after his long haidus and addressed the dichotomy between his acting and rapping careers.... shit was a complete album... COMPLETE.

Now.... Raw Footage is gonna be a cut above the rest.

Cube.... my favorite rapper and ALWAYZ zero percent BITCH.

Go out and buy that shit (all that money goes to Cube... he's independent.... no white fat cats gettin our money)

By the way.....Defsounds is slippin..... this has been out there for a sec.

The game done changed up and this cat can't keep up. Ice Cube used to set trends and that's all done and gone. I respect the him on G-status for the hood turf talk he set the foundation for the gangstah rap game, but it's time to hang it up. The phrases ain't catchy and the hook ain't stickin. That's real talk from 1nglewood California.

The most anticipated to me (or whose album will come the hardest) would be Ems (king mathers or w.e), Dres (Detox), Jays ( Blueprint 4 or w.e bcuase all of his features lately have been FIRE and the whole production just Timbaland beats? Classic) Lupes ( Lupend) and this Cubes (Raw Footage ) in that order.

Do ya thang Cube. Niggas down south said that the rap game ain't wanna let them in so they knocked the door down. This gangsta shit still ain't poppin round they way. It's gangstas everywhere in almost every hood. They just got a different way to express themselves. So us up north niggas see them west coast niggas as people who seen some shit. Whether people want to admit it or not. Gang-bangin is straight off the west coast. It originated in those streets. We learned from the best. MI bout to hit the map from Killa Creek to Detroit. Why you think Detroit got the highest murder rate in America? MI don't play boy. So don't get Hugh Heffed.
