Nas: “Death Certificate is one of the albums that changed my life along with Down By Law, Criminal Minded and a few others. Death Certificatehit me at a time when I was hustling, when I was hanging with hustlers, when I was making life-changing decisions in my life. Death Certificatespoke to me. To this day, it’s one of the boldest, bravest, realest rap albums that will ever be made.”

Kill at Will is classic, too, with a classic album cover. I don't like seeing it at the back of DC just because that classic cover needs to stand on its own. The cover is inside, but still. I own the originals and the reissues just out of respect for Cube.

I think The Predator is kind of underrated too. He was talking about a lot of stuff on there that needed to be heard.

Lethal Injection was a little weak. Some nice cuts on there, but it was missing something on a lot of the album. "Cave bytch" was ridiculous, too. Cube is better than that one and stooping to that level, but I think someone pissed him the fukk off and he went in on it. I'm sure he has run into all kinds of fukkery during his business dealings and it came out in that song, but it's too much.

I thought Raw Footage was low key extremely underrated. Cube went in on that one. Very political. It didn't do that well, so he went on some other stuff on I am the West, which is my least favorite Cube album by a mile.

Ghetto Vet is better than most people's albums. The War and Peace project didn't really work out, but that song nearly made up for on its own. I don't hate the album, but they're at the bottom of his discography.
