Well cube is a lot more legendary than P. Prodigy is a legend in his own right.
Ice Cube Vs Prodigy
- Thread starter The Ruler 09
- Start date
I wrote a long ass reply to this but got deleted. So will make quick points.
Any two MC's can be compared.
Didn't say I didn't like Cube, gave him props.
People are caught up with legend status' and that's part of the problem. P is a legend too. Cube is a bigger icon and legend but we're talking about music and MC skills.
K-Rino has much more content than Cube, and is 10 times more complex and effective. If you compare the lyrics Cube's shyt looks remedial
I'll reply properly if replied as not typing a bunch of shyt out again lol..
That line was dope for its time first and foremost,but forget about the line,the whole damn song is Cube being able to talk about poor health care in the hood in story form which should be very boring right
?,and educate by hitting the listener WITH imagery that yall applauding Prodigy for heavily in here,with humor so its not too heavy and preachy,he wraps it all up in a nice package,the audacity of you nikkas to talk about some damn labyrinth canibus LINE
...now let me use a metaphor here,Cube is the equilvelant to being not only a great ACTOR but also a great DIRECTOR ON WAX,this is why Cube is more complex as an emcee,he paints the picture,gives you the imagery,makes you think,makes you laugh so its not to heavy for the audience he is attempting to reach,and in his prime he did this effortlessy and still shows flashes today....everything he did on the track was important to keeping the story going....that's why as many things as Pac touched on you cant compare that to Cubve who every line had a purpose to make his concept songs work..Heres what ill give you on prodigy,dude said raw shyt but that's about where it stops for me.....compare that nikka to Kurupt if you wanna compare him to a west coast legen,even then he loses to me becuz Kurupt had a much better delivery....Cube got rawness too,there is no weakness for the gawd
Terror illustrates my era
Now I can't hang around my momma
Cause I scare her
I want to blast motherfukkers up
It feels like I'm bustin' a nut
When I open you up
Cause your body is exposed to the midnight mist
All you weak motherfukkers give my ring a kiss
Cause I'm givin dirt naps
Comin' with them bomb ass raps
To make your lungs collapse perhaps
You never sleep
Cause evertime you doze
You catch blows to the motherfukkin' nose
Ain't seen the sun, in 66 days
Let me count the ways in a fukked up maze
I never ever ever made a ho stay
But I'm down with Dre
Like AC is down with OJ
So fukk how your livin'
I'm the unforgivin'
Psycho driven
Murdera
It's authentic
Don't panic
I can't stand it
God damn it
Scizophrenic
So fukk Charlie Manson
I'll snatch him out his truck
Hit 'em with a brick
And I'm dancing
Are you missing the subtileties
...Cube gives it all to you,gives you some raw shyt,some heavy shyt,some comedy but it even with the joke at the end where you got the 
on ya face,it still doesn't take you out of the the song and what Cube was trying to get across....it just lends to him being one sick puppy without being corny and horror coreish imo..Like i said Cube is a director as an emcee controlling where the song goes and where he wants your mind to go,as well as fulfills the role of a great charismatic actor who keeps you in the story like
......I thought Eddie Winslow was a good actor on Family Matters too....but cmon Cube is Denzel and Spieldburg
Foxmulder
Superstar
Please at that insult to the culture bullshyt.Ice Cube fell off since fukking 93 with that wicked bullshyt.Yall put certain people on a fukking pedestal.shyt is ridiculous.I get people picking Cube but don't act like P is fukking vanilla ice or some shyt
.Edit: it was that lethal injection shyt when he fell off.

Bigger words don't make it more complex. It actually doesn't even make much sense. It's an empty metaphor. He's basically just saying his rhyming maze is like
LMAO @ K-Rino being more effective than Cube. Nobody gives a fly fukking about K-Rino outside of Texas. How in the world could what he say be more effective than one of the biggest rappers ever?
I can't argue about how complex he is or isn't or how much content he has because I only heard a couple of songs by him, most of them being terrible.
God damn, another fukkin payback with a twist
Them motherfukkers shot but the punks missed
Ice Cube is out-gunned, what is the outcome?
Will they do me like Malcolm?
Cause I bust styles, new styles, standin - strong!
While, others +Run+ a +Hundred Miles+

Deal with the devil with my motherfukkin steel - BOOM!

Call me nikka, bigger than a spook

But nikka, don't say the J-word

Burnin our black skin
Buy my neighborhood - then push the crack in

And don't understand why a nikka got an AK
Callin me an African-American like everything is fair again, shyt
Devil, you got to get the shyt right I'm black
Blacker than a trillion midnights, +Don't Believe the Hype+ was said in '88

Not true, people do give a fukk about him outside Texas. I'm talking lyrically, put Cube's lyrics up against K-Rino's lmao. K-Rino is significantly a better lyricist than Cube. And has more creativity, concepts, and much more as an MC. The rest is preference. I don't judge rappers on their fame, never will, I don't care if he sold a billion records, it's irrelveant to the music and skills to me. Lol so why are you even talking if you haven't heard anything but a few songs? Cause you don't have any reference point to view from, and only going by fame, and that's the problem. I'm speaking objectively, others speaking off who's bigger lol.
I don't care about record sales when comparing who's a better rapper but it matters when you say "more effective". Yes, then it does matter. And no, nobody outside of Texas and some people online care about K-Rino. I have never in my 31 years on Earth heard anyone ever mention K-Rino's name in real life outside the internet.
And K-Rino is a hell of a lyricist I'll give you that. But I'm not really familiar with his material overall to say one way or the other about his content or how creative he is. But he's definitely not as effective as Ice Cube. At all. If he was, he wouldn't be a nobody rapper.

Killin fake hip hop
Damn, I stop checkin in for a few hours and this fraud @The Ruler 09 gets sonned to Bolivia 
Son still tryin to use his "discussions with real hip hop heads" to support his bytch ass opinions
Pee aint seein Cube in any way shape or form. Period.

More effective as an MC. Sorry but no it doesn't. Are you saying Vanilla Ice >>>> KRS-One then? Didn't he sell more? About MC Hammer >>>>> Rakim, Big Daddy Kane. It doesn't stand up and is double standards. That's again factually not true, when he's done well attended worldwide shows, there's someone on here from Australia and K-Rino did a show there. Just because you haven't doesn't mean anyone else hasn't, Farrahkan knows who he is, Scarface knows who he is, Z-Ro knows who he is, Chamillionair knows who he is, Gangster N.I.P knows who he is, DJ Premier knows who he is, Canibus knows who he is. A bunch of people know of him. Is he the most famous rapper no? But to equate that with talent doesn't stand up. I don't even know how you can know he's hell of a lyricist if you haven't heard his work. Your clearly bias and not speaking objectively, I've heard both' material, and I'm not related to either lol, so I'm purely speaking as a listener. That last thing you said is absolutely ridiculous and it's being blissfully ignorant, not spoken with any malice towards you personally cause your cool, but that's NOT how it works in the industry, it is not merely about talent or effectiveness as an MC/artist. Percee P is one hell of an artist, is Grandmaster Caz wack? People could say they were nobodys. That's just not the truth of the matter, blowing up involved numerous factors, such as timing, luck, content, appearance, beats, labels financial backing, who you know, location, a HUGE amount of factors, to reduce it to who's effective and not insults everyone's intelligence, cause it's not the way it works at all. So many factors, laziness, work ethic, personal issues, so many things. And being better lyrically is a significant part of being a better MC, and K-Rino is vastly better lyrically, not a little, or a bit but VASTYLY. From someone who has heard ALL Cube's albums and all of K-Rino's.

Lol at me ever getting sonn'd by anybody lol. You reaching cause you get destroyed everytime we speak. So your clinging on desperately as you live vicariously through others lol. Sad existence lol. A lot of you people are just on some stan shyt, straight up stans and haters lol, it's a joke lol. At least I'm objective. I can't believe some of you motherfukkers like 35 and shyt and still act like immature teenagers lol.

K-Rino is like the E-40 of Texas, he does a lot of things well but nothing amazing. He is not even the man in his own state, and Houston is pretty dry when it comes to legends.
Impact and definitive records is what solidifies your position. Prodigy and Ice Cube has them. But who is really picking AMW or Death Certificate over a Mobb Deep album? Prodigy will get his props, but when people start talking about the the greatest Prodigy will never be ranked higher than Cube.
That's crazy, it's an impossible standard to meet because K-Rino is underground and Cube was a HUGE legend and icon. In terms of who hears their projects? A lot of people who have actually heard both's full material would pick K-Rino, and some would pick Cube too. But again, these are all things I can prove without question.
