A lot of people especially non hip hop heads will associate cube with movies especially Friday

But

Straight Outta of Compton album

Amerikkka’s Most Wanted album

Kill at Will EP

Death Certificate album

All classic

Then dropped the legendary single Today was a good

Friday and Westside Connection first album

Dude had a crazy run and even today with the big 3 and smaller projects still doing it

ice cube, a literal west coast legend, is somehow underrated now??? cmon man

that said.. would be nice if he rapped once in a while (and put in some effort, his flow is on sesame street these days. autopilot)

but his classics will be classics forever :salute:

I don't know about him being the template for PAC, Nas, and Big...

RTD was basically Puff’s love letter to Cube & Death Row’s albums. This has been mentioned by those who were involved numerous times over the decade

You think Pac was the first doing gangsta, conscious, party & neighborhood music? lol

Nas has also been adamant about Cube’s influence in his music

Between time, obligatory Pac Big mentions, coronation of Kendrick and his Hollywood moves let’s not act like Cube is one of the first names you’re hearing when people discuss Who is the best to ever do it
i know what you mean about the coronation of kendrick but i dont think thats necessarily his fault. maybe in 25 years things will be different, but i dont think ice cube's name is going anywhere, lol

big and pac thing is completely different. they died before they could even arguably reach their prime... playing what if with an artist is certainly different than seeing the result of one still living.

pac and big never had a war and peace -trash level album. Pac didnt live long enough to try out kids movies. BIG got shot before he could co-star in Daddy Day Care. the alternate timelines... maybe we're in the bad one :francis:
