If Ice Cube wanted to fund my album and put it out I would be all for it. They homeboys and Cube wants to see WC succeed and do well. Lord knows Cube does not need the money from it so it makes sense.

That cover is pretty cool. Better then a lot of the low rent covers we've seen independent albums get.

I'm not saying it's bad for WC to have Ice Cube help him get that exposure, but to have him so obviously involved with the album gives a hint of weakness, as if WC can't do it on his own. Surely, Cube knows ways to help WC get his name out there, but his involvement in selling the album is too obvious to go unnoticed. Cube probably did some great stuff to improve the quality of the album, but at the end of the day it's WC's album, not some collaboration project!

True, and he could use a more behind the scenes approach to help out the album. Which is why I don't think this will be the album cover.

I agree.

WC has been doing this for damn near 20 years. He's more than talented enough to do it on his own. Seeing Cube all over the cover gives off the wrong idea.

Learn something about marketing bro.  This is a smart move, period, end of story.  This shows nothing about weakness.  Ice Cube is a brand name, he is huge, wayyyyyyyy more people recognize him than WC.  People gonna see that poster, see Cube, and they may be cube fan's but not really know about WC, but they gonna check it out because of Cube.  What the hell is wrong with Cube's obvious involvement to get this record to sell?  Isn't that the point of the record...make it sell?  If it wasn't, than I am sure there would be no poster at all and WC would be giving these cd's out for free.

For your information, I've got a university degree in communications, which includes the fields of marketing, marketing communications, pr, etc. You may question my logic, but don't question the credibility.

This is a smart move, period, end of story.  This shows nothing about weakness.  Ice Cube is a brand name, he is huge, wayyyyyyyy more people recognize him than WC.  People gonna see that poster, see Cube, and they may be cube fan's but not really know about WC, but they gonna check it out because of Cube.

An Ice Cube fan that doesn't know WC? ::) You're making it seem as if Ice Cube sells millions these days.... Don't fool yourself. It's not like showing off with the affiliation with Cube is the ultimate formula for good sales.

What the hell is wrong with Cube's obvious involvement to get this record to sell?  Isn't that the point of the record...make it sell?  If it wasn't, than I am sure there would be no poster at all and WC would be giving these cd's out for free.

"Learn something about reading bro"....

Now, what part of that do you actually disagree with? I said WC is only right for getting Cube involved in the project. Thing is, it's his album, not a collaboration project. Instead of turning it into "this is a WC record, and this time he had to get Ice Cube involved to achieve something," they could have made it a "oh my god, there's WC back to working with Ice Cube again! this has got to be hot."  They could make it sell (it's quality material, right?) without having to display such pathetic dependancy and weakness... Perhaps you should learn something about marketing bro.

That most likely is a promo poster.

Cube himself just about pushed gold last time, Dub needs all the help he can get.
