One of the best to ever do it. Of all time though alive is tough because including Cube, alot of other rappers are adding to their legacy. I actually got into a debate with my homeboy about if Snoop or Cube has a better catalogue.

it's true it's an insult to compare cube and snoop's catalog

That is what I said. I said you can even argue Cube's weaker albums by fans standards like War, Peace and LNCL are comparable or even better than Snoop's weaker albums.

cube never has, and never will make an album as weak as DGITBSNTBT



Exactly...but Snoop doesnt get nearly the same heat or criticism as Cube would get.

he gets alot as well. Especially for all the pop shit he's made

Cube got heat for We Be Clubbin a little bit, but that song was a hit and You Can Do It was a smash also. Snoop has also had success with doing songs out of the norm for him. I don't count that against either of them. I just go by albums head to head and IMO I think Ice Cube has a better catalogue. But that is the cool thing about it, they both are legends and it makes for a good debate on both sides.

yea snoop's catalogue is wayyyyyy more average then cube's

I just saw Cube in concert a few months back and I also saw Nas as well so of all time hip hop I am torn between a few rappers but for the west coast I would have to say Cube.

Scarface has a nice catalogue as well. You gotta remember when your including alive rappers, there are a couple others that match up well with Ice Cube.

I am not saying he is the best but his catalogue is insane for about the 1st 4 or 5 albums up to and including The Fix. Group albums= Geto Boys? nuff said on that. He is up there. And he improved on the mic with his albums excluding all those BS "albums" J Prince started putting out the last couple of years but he is up there. Nas has a nice one, I don't know how many Rakim has, maybe a few more but not many.

i've got:

mr.scarface is back
the world is yours
the diary
untouchable
my homies (2 discs)
the last of a dying breed
the fix (it's wack you say? i've heard my block and that song is fire...plus appearances from WC & nas)
my balls and my world
my homies pt. 2 (more of a compilation the pt.1 was by the looks of it)

am i missing any d-nice? i'm seeing three others called "the don", "face 2 face" and 1 called "the features" (i'm guessin the third is a fan made compilation of his guest spots)

Yep that is it. I meant to add The Fix in as dope albums he has done so nobody diss me for a typing error.  ;D If you want to add the Geto Boys/Facemob catalogue also it matches up well with Cube. Face is probably my 3rd favorite artist behind Cube and Pac. Face 2 Face is just a compilation of hits with 2pac and Face on it and I don't recognize the other 2. I would consider Face the King Of The South just on his history but he has not been active on the album tip for a minute.
