Westside Connection - Bow Down...is this a classic album? [poll added]

[avon barksdale]

NOPE

 

[Miggs]

That was early 90s before Cube got stale and started biting styles left and right...Funny that hes wearing a CH shirt in that 2nd pic...

 

[Miggs]

U saying nope cuz of Pac lol

Be a man and say nope cuz u don't think the album was that good not cuz what pac said. U know how much shyt Pac took from Cube lol. Pac was that dude but do u know how much of Cube's music is in Pac's DNA?

Im saying no cuz its not a classic,its a decent album but it cant fukk with his earlier shyt...i threw that pac clip in there cuz it was around that time where cube kinda fell off in my opinion in terms of being relevant and that audio basically co signs that....Dudes saying he got at NY and whatnot but he was really just the undercard at that time..Cats were checking for Pac and death row not Cube...

CLASSIC

 

[Suspicious Dingo]

EASILY.

I'm still mad about how wack their second album was though

 

[reserved_one]

Yes......The album has aged very well and a Heel Ice Cube was entertaining.

No weak songs, dope production, tight lyrics

People be hating on this album because Cube exploited the whole East West beef and wasn't really bout that

This shyt is classic.

Cypress Hill got that work

Cube was reppin for the west before Pac was on his dumb shyt anyway. i don't know if i'd say Bow Down is classic but it's damn close. great album, i used to listen to it EVERY day

I can understand a 4 - 4.5 rating from people, but nothing less. But to ME, that shyt is classic.

Yup, that album got burn daily. Stays in my car to this day, bump that album at unsociable levels

they could update that sound and he could make another dope album. these days i think it's the production that really weighs his albums down

 

[The Bilingual Gringo]

Easily a classic

 

[Ashtrey]

It's definitely a classic. Cube was throwing shots at the East in 1995 when Pac was still in jail on some love shyt...

 

[up in here]

People often confuse "classic" with "masterpiece". Some albums are 5 mic instant classics, some are 4-4.5 on release but in retrospect earn classic status.

This album isn't a masterpiece but it is a classic.

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

if reasonable doubt is a classic from 96 so is this easily

Honestly. Only on the coli smh

 

[mobbinfms]

Yeah Cube was exploiting the east west shyt at the time.

But there was def some really dope shyt on that album.

3 Time Felons is my favorite joint on there.

WC killed every verse.

The bolded. And I don't think the album is a classic - but it's 4.5.
