Ice Cube explains why 'No Vaseline' is Better than Tupac's 'Hit Em Up' and Nas's 'Ether’

[Zero]

He has a good argument, especially against Hit Em Up... and somewhat off topic... but "Real Mother F#ckin City Gs" was the OG summer jam screen moment...

And they really overlooked that shyt for the NWA movie too...you know that shyt hurt feelings deeply

Whoomp Whoomp > No Vaseline

And I say this as someone who loves Cube.

SEVERELY underrated track

I know one thing, "Eazy's dikk smellin' like MC Ren's shyt" is one image we never needed to have painted.

So y’all just going to ignore Common dismantling Cubes whole career?




Not to mention, everything Cube rapped about with NWA was fiction.

It is what it is. But to say his diss is the GOAT? Nah.

The Bridge is Over trumps that shyt.

Cube got a point with this one. What also makes No Vaseline superior compared to Hit ‘Em Up (which wasn’t even that good) and Ether other then the fact that it was 1 against 4 (technically 5 if you count Heller) was it’s overall impact and the fact that it set off a chain of events with Rap such as NWA breaking up and falling out and Dre linking up with Suge to form Death Row Records which resulted in the rise of both Snoop and Pac, not to mention that Dre eventually left Death Row and went on to start his own label which also lead to him finding and birthing Eminem, 50 Cent and even Kendrick’s career.

I’ll go a far as to say No Vaseline is among the top 10 most important rap songs of all time due to how influential it was.

Cube going at 5 ppl is actually EASIER. You can use your best bars on each person and have a full song.

Nas had to continuously come up with good material on 1 person

Pac Hit em up slander needs to stop. Hit em was about Energy and Punking a whole coast. Easily the greatest impact
