Most of y'all are just negative.

For me, I first look at the positive things on the album.
It has a couple dope songs on it I can enjoy (Life In California, Too West Coast, I Rep That West, Drink The Kool-Aid, No Country For Young Men, Hood Robbin', Nothin' Like LA & Fat Cat)

Of course, all in all this album doesn't represent its title like said before. And it has some huge misstakes like She Couldn't Make It On Her Own, weak delivery on some tracks and lyrically not on point. But it is what it is, Cube makes music because he likes to, not to satisfy everyone. He stays true to himself and that's important to me. It's not easy to stay original and relevant after so many years, so for me, I just enjoy what he delivers.

All I'm saying is negativity shouldn't overrule positivity.

This new album does not represent its title. 

This.

True. The title makes it even worse!

I don't know if I should check this out. People say it's worse than Raw Footage, and this was unlistenable for the most part.

It's time for Cube to retire, he should continue to work with WC and support him tho, cause Dub still has it. Let WC drop the albums,  he still knows what an album should sound like.

Well, in the end it's Cube so I have no choice. But I have a long queue and Cube's album is on the last spot now :P

The album is really mediocre, which is a shame. I had high hopes for this album  :-\


Yeah. All the hype of Dr. Dre production and DJ Quik as well; all to be retracted right before the album drops. LAME. I would've gladly waited for that. Instead we get delay after delay for a mediocre album with nothing at all really. Ice Cube was dope. Too bad its past tense. He should've stayed signed to Aftermath. We probably would've gotten the dopest Ice Cube album ever made.

Or its just not a good album. Why be all positive about a disappointment?

For me, I first look at the positive things on the album.
It has a couple dope songs on it I can enjoy (Life In California, Too West Coast, I Rep That West, Drink The Kool-Aid, No Country For Young Men, Hood Robbin', Nothin' Like LA & Fat Cat)

A couple decent songs on an album doesn't make the album good.

Of course, all in all this album doesn't represent its title like said before. And it has some huge misstakes like She Couldn't Make It On Her Own, weak delivery on some tracks and lyrically not on point. But it is what it is, Cube makes music because he likes to, not to satisfy everyone. He stays true to himself and that's important to me. It's not easy to stay original and relevant after so many years, so for me, I just enjoy what he delivers.

I wouldn't call this original or relevant

All I'm saying is negativity shouldn't overrule positivity.

This is a thread to discuss an album, one which most people feel is weak. Are we supposed to be giving weak albums props now? What is the point of discussing albums if all we are doing is praising every album regardless of quality? It would take away from the great music that actually deserves praise.

All this wait for that! wack album, no quality, some good tracks but damn it's his job!

In january, everybody was claimed it's the Westcoast year, but in fact it's the worst Westcoast year!

The only good albums this year is Mitchy Slick's Yellow Tape and XL Middleton & Young Sau "there goes the neighbourhood"

If he stayed or even signed for that matter on Aftermath, we still would be waiting on a album.
