You already know when Ice Cube goes into war mode, all hell is gonna break loose. After releasing a first appetizer off his upcoming solo album “Raw Footage” in the first single “Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It“, along with the remix featuring Scarface and Nas, the West Coast War Lord is blasting out another album track called “It Takes A Nation“.
In times where every artist is worried about “finding the right single”, it’s truly refreshing to hear an artist like Ice Cube, in who’s music you can truly feel that it’s ginuine and coming from his heart.
“It Takes A Nation” is Ice Cube at his finest: raw, uncut and political. The beat, courtesy of Emile, is banging too, ya’ll need to turn this one up to really feel it’s energy. Cube calls himself “the only rapper that wants to fist fight the president” on the track, and it’s a good representation of what he’s offering us with his latest tracks. Check out “It Takes A Nation” below:
