How hard did Ice Cube go in his prime?

[Miggs]

but we re not talking about that

we re talking about your comment that his career was done, thats where this conversation began

how the fukk was his career over

explain that fukk boy

Could explain 100 times to you,you still wouldnt get it...cuz you think plaques is an indication of relevance....

 

[hex]

So he could do movies like Are we there yet?

It's a family comedy with a 95% black cast.

Thanks for proving my point.

so the amount of records you sell is not an indication of how relevant you are?

glad i understand your logic

Being a massive Cube fan since back when, I always was a bit at these types of moves he made for movies/TV, however as I've gotten older and understand the world a bit more, he's made a great decision and rather powerful.

Since forever, there's always been the stigma of a the white, cheesy family movie, but that's just it, it's always been "white". Even as a CAC, I don't see anything wrong w/ having a good family movie with majority black cast and about a black family, I think it's a dope move. Sure as fukk beats something like "Soul Plane" or other stereotypical shyt out there.

I think he got successful and grew up anyway. He's put out some fairly decent material in the last few years, some of which being political, but nothing will match what he did in the 90's. And most cats would be all anyway if they saw him doing the old West Coast shyt in videos and all that, saying he's so it's almost a lose/lose.

no one heard bytch in yoo thats an internet phenomenom

What? Nothing was an "internet phenomenon" in 1996, hardly anybody had that shyt. Or if you had the 'net you had dial-up which meant a 20 minute wait to hear a Real Player stream of a 4 minute song.

I'm not saying it was on a Nas vs Jay level of hype but to say "nobody heard it" is wildly inaccurate.

Every rap publication out at the time was talking about the Com vs Cube beef, and there was ads in "The Source" for the single. I'm sure casual fans never heard of it but if you read any rap mags, or paid attention to mix shows, or rap news on any scale you heard about it.

Also Common performed it at The House of Blues in Los Angeles when it came out.

Yea i understand you get older you lose that fire that he had on the first 2 albums...my point is nothing he has done has ever compared to those first 2-3 releases and you can clearly see by his timeline by his moves exactly where he fell off and dudes stopped checking for him....

You're flip flopping all over the place. First he was blackballed before arguably the most successful part of his career, then it was Common that ended his rap career, now he fell off and dude's stopped checking for him. All of which are completely untrue.

My point from the beginning was he fell off and become irrelevant after Predator....and that is true,moves he made after that album clearly tell you he knew it as well...

And my point is how was he irrelevant when he was still going gold as recently as 06 with laugh now cry later? while still making tracks like The nikka Trap and Child Support.

I think I need to clarify that while "The bytch In Yoo" was relatively well known to rap fans, Common Sense had zero power to end anyone's career when it dropped. He didn't really start to sell records or become a house hold name until his 3rd or 4th album, meanwhile Cube had been steadily going plat since his debut.

This is totally unrelated to how the diss is, because it's brutal. But he could've dropped the GOAT diss and it wouldn't have been enough to impact Cube in any way.
