I got a homie who was at a gathering and he played Cube's "Cave bytch". Kid Cudi happened to be there and Cudi power walked over to the stereo and turned it off and told my homie "How DARE you play that around me and the rest of these people! I only seek positive vibes!"


That didnt really happen, but I could see it happening

I've never listened to an Ice Cube album and I only know a few of his singles, but I was reading about about his first 4 albums from the early 90's on Wikipedia and....



:ohhh:A lot of the subject matter on those albums still hold up & are relevant in 2015.







@stomachlines

bruh, as far as i'm concerned ice cube is a top 5 mc of all time :ohlawd:

his catalog is among the best :whew:

n.w.a. - straight outta compton
ice cube - amerikkka's most wanted
ice cube - kill at will ep
ice cube - death certificate
ice cube - the predator
ice cube - lethal injection (first kinda weak album in comparison to the others but there's still some gems here)
ice cube - laugh now, cry later (great unofficial comeback album)

Could you imagine if Ice Cubes first 2 or 3 solo albums came out in the in the 2010's?

"White devil you should respect mine, and fcuk the dumb shyt, and get my tech 9"
'When Will they Shoot" The Predator LP

"I told you all what happened and you heard it, read it but all you could call me was anti-Semitic, Regret it-nope, said it-yep."
From "We Had To Tear This Muthafukkal Up"


"White man, is somethin I tried to study. But I got my hands bloody, yeah. They said I could sing like a Jaybird But nikka, don't say the J-word"

Cube making the right moves & his music is still hard & fit for Afrikans in these streets. Like someone mentioned earlier... mainstream crossed over to Cube :salute:

Did he really crossover tho? I mean dude was making family movies but at the same time making movies that were aimed toward older audiences. All on his own production company. Yall call it crossing over I call it diversifying your brand.
I'm sure Cube still the same dude from the 90s just calmed down. It's a lot of work being a real militant not a message board militant
