Never Forget: Ice Cube f/Mr. Short Khop - "Pushin' Weight"

[Suspicious Dingo]

Great fukking track

Having said that, Short Khop was so fukking wack, and the album was ass outside of a few tracks... that song with Korn

 

[boskey]

Did not like this song at the time. But it was definitely a hit. I remember thinking that Ice Cube was starting to sound like an old man. He wasnt even 30 yet

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

With the exception of those two discs, Cube never released any projects even close to bad.

Everything from that point on in his solo career was pretty damn good, and obviously everything before that point was GOAT level, including The Predator and Lethal Injection.

 

[TransJenner]

Yeah the Don Mega gimmick was kinda weird but you can tell Cube just didn't give a fukk

I mean would you if your movies made you wayyyyyyy more money than music did

 

[karim]

Some things are best left forgotten. This song is amongst them. This was a sign that Ice was no longer a trendsetter but a follower. He kinda made up for it with Vol. 2.

 

[TransJenner]

Raw Footage is so underrated thoooo fukkkkkk

 

[Samuel Jackson]

Yay yaaaaay

I push rhymes like weight

I push rhymes like weight

Yay yaaaaay

 

[DontEemTry]

shyt was embarrassing

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

always loved this song...Cube with the Gucci brrrrrrr way before Gucci too..

Ghetto Vet was one of the first instrumentals me & the homies had...that and Let Me Know by Cam'Ron...we played them cd singles until them shyts didnt work

 

[Techniec]

I remember being so hyped over Cubes comeback......This was the first single and I wasnt really feeling it but you know how it is when its someone u really like......u assume it will grow on you......Nov 17, War drops....I copped that and Tical 2 the same day but the first thing I threw in the car cd changer was that War disc.....not gonna lie...the way the album opens up makes u think we in for either a Death Certificate or maybe a Preditor type of album. I'll say around the 7th spin I finally concluded that the album was eh! (was in denial for the first 6 spins) I chalked it up to Cube making up for it when the Peace disc finally drops....and that didnt happen either.

Album did have some cuts tho...Pushing Weight wasnt one of them.

Pushin Weight was one of those for me though

I too was disappointed with this album when it dropped, and this was the beginning of the end

I did recently revisit this album, and I was surprised by how dope the production was. It was the nonsense Cube was spittin (outside of a few tracks)

Those beats should've gone to a Short Khop solo

 

[Techniec]

The Pushin Weight beat is classic and Khop killed his verse

STRAIGHT OUT THE TRENCHES....THE WOOOOD WORKKKKSSS

 

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

still amazes how badly cube sold out

 

[Still Benefited]

still amazes how badly cube sold out

So you don't hear any positive social messages in songs like Pushin Rhymes Like Weight,We Be Clubbin,Until We Rich?Guess if it aint "kill whitey" yall just gon skim thru it

 

[Dirty D]

Along with Ghetto Vet, these are the standouts from that album:







Pushin Weight was alright.

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Cube had to have sold his soul to Satan, because I swear at this exact point he became the corniest, wackest rapper around.


Ghetto Vet was a last glimmer of hope though and Laugh Now, Cry Later had a FEW cuts. but still....
