Did Ice Cube ever really fall off??

Did Ice Cube sell out? You say, "Hell no!"

I would consider the drop in quality between the DonMega/WAR album and the Peace album falling off.  I don't know what he was thinking.  Some of the Peace album was alright, though.

I have way more faith in Cube putting out a dope record than say Snoop, Xzibit, Too Short, Game, etc.  He still has content in his lyrics.  I can't wait for his and WC's next shit.

I think at end of the day...thats what it comes down too. IMO I think Cube's getting that focus back, he came nice on LNCL but I expect his next album to be even better with classic potential. He seems to not be making his music half-heartedly, he's going on tours, him and WC are doin things.

It's just harder to take him serious these days as a hardcore rapper becuz of his corny movies.

I never understood why Cube got hate for his movies, the man should be a role model for young black kids. IMO with music, you get to express yourself...you can express your view about the world and so forth. But acting is called ACTING for a reason, you shouldn't be chided for playing different roles. And honestly, what the hell is wrong with making kid movies anyway, the man is a family man after all.

Personlyi was realy disapointed when i heard the westsid conection cd terrorsit threats.
I thought 2 songs were good o there and thats it. Sure his lyrics were good , talking real shit for the most part but the hole package was weak.

LAugh now cry later the lyrics migt eb good but the beats are terrible.

Maybe e dint fall of but he needs to pick better beats.

I was gona make a thread on how good the war disc is 2day. Iv not heard it in a long time but the line

"I done had it with u addicts and faggots, rattin causin static, bring me my a.u.t. o -matic, oh ni99as wanna see how we ride, bitch u no the muthafuckkn side, world muther fuckin wide" (maybe not word 4 word)

just sticks in my mind, fuckin ridicolous! Also maybe the last song (extradition i think?) is one of my favourite rap songs.

Also, Ghetto Vet is a classic song as well.

Yeah that album is slept on. One of the best produced albums IMO and Cube was killing the mic on that album. It had a very dark tone to it.

nobody can stay in their prime for 15 yrs!!!

did cube fall off..... NO

[Westdog]

So children think which listen modern wack pop rap! Ice cube never fell off!It not in his character

[d-nice]

I think people actually start to believe the characters Cube plays in his movies. It's called diversity, he does not want to be typecast. He does not want you to just see him doin Doughboy roles the rest of his life. That is the whole point of acting. To show a wide range of characters. Wack or good movie. Now I think the movies take away alot of time that Cube could be doing albums but the man is still doing it big in hip hop.

Exactly...people forget Cube started out his career with Boyz in the Hood, Tresspass, Glass Shield, Higher Learning...he did the serious black youth roles. But then he branched out to comedy w/ Friday, Barbershop, all About the Benjamins etc...thats what actors do, or at least what they're supposed to do if they're to be taken seriously.
