Rate Each Song On Bow Down, And Which Of The 3 MC's Spit The Best..

[Lunatic]

Just gave Bow Down another spin, and god damn is this on some classic shit or what brothas??

I thought we'd each give this classic a short track-by-track break down, while mentioning which of the trio was your favourite on the respected track...so lets get this shit poppin

Bow Down - ofcourse a 5/5...Bud'da came with a CLASSIC beat, which all MC's ripped on the track...no fuckin respect, bow down 2 these westside game spitters   ain't no argument here i don't think, Cube came the tightest

Gangstas Make The World Go Round - 5/5...It's a simple yet affective beat by Cube, who IMO doesn't produce enough these days...Cube & Dub came tight on this, but i gotta give the upper hand 2 mack 1-0 on this one

All The Critics In New York - 5/5...One of my favourite beats on the album, produced by the legendary Binky...Agian, no fuckin respect, fuck the n.y.c critics at this point, straight raw shit comin from the gang   Agian this is a close one, but the edge goes 2 cube, mainly due to his 2nd verse where he spits:

Fuck All The Critics In The N.Y.C.
Tryin To Get a East HipHop Monopoly
But I Been Writin Gangsta Shit Since 83'
When Y'all Was Still Scared 2 Use Profanity

Now that's raw right there

Do U Like Criminals? - 4.5/5...Not a 5/5 for me, because doesn't stand out like the most of the other tracks in my mind, but still dope...The beat is decent, provided by bud'da...Edge goes 2 WC for me, but Cube came real close on this one..K-Dee was alright

The Gangsta, The Killa, The Dope Dealer - 5/5...First off, I LOVE how Cube, Dub, Mack stayed on topic on this track playing there respected roles the song specifies they play..The beat is a heater by Bud'da on his third go around...Mack 10 spit the best on this one IMO

Cross Em Out & Put A K - 5/5..Bud'da agian on the boards with another banger...not even a question IMO, Cube ripped this one up

King Of The Hill - 5/5...Do I even got 2 say anything?? Better diss than the one Cypress dropped IMO...Cube straight killed this shit, defanitely he was better than Mack...I wish Dub would of dropped somethin on this though Great beat by QDIII bty.

3 Time Felons - 4.5/5...Another great beat provided by Bud'da...Not a 5/5 because I think Cube & Mack could of came tighter, but Dub straight ripped this shit 2 pieces

Westward Ho - 5/5...Smooth beat provided by QDIII...BTY, is that K-Dee on the hook? sounds like him, but no credits...Anyways, Cube was the best MC on this track IMO

So What You Wanna Do, Decisions, Decisions
And What You Think Bout Pussy & Dick Collisons?  <<-- gets me everytime

Hoo-Bangin (WSCG Style) - 4.5/5..Another great beat by the Don Mega himself   Cube just edged out Mack for the title of best on this track IMO...Dub came correct..Would be a 5/5 but i'm not feelin the verses from The Comrads & All Frum Tha I...K-Dee was cool though...Love the Common jab bty

So that's my run down, leave your thoughts homies...if u feel it's a bit long, and a post like mine might take some time to do, at least drop somethin short, 2 show some support for one of the greatest albums of our time

Dammmm..you on point from the ratings to who killed what. The only disagreement is I think Dub C killed Gangsta, Killa, and the Dope deala.

True blue when I bust
Leavin bodies hangin like the tongue on my chucks
Homicidal when the G ride
I swear i'm killin every nigga standin outside

Actually, i think Mack-10 came 3rd on that track, but thats because everyone ripped it to shreds. Bow Down is an epic album though, a true classic.

[Lunatic]

yea homies to each his own

I started this thread more 2 pay homage 2 such a classic and see which MC's y'all thought ripped the specific track..I was actually surprised to see y'all pretty much fully agree with me on the MC tip...it's all gravy

[lonestone]

Classic post raide. I'm definitly feeling it.

[Z the laidback Virus]

Your sickly obsession with this album and this group borders on something akin to religious zealotism...Ask your local shrink.

You shoulda posted some crazy ass ratings..like 1/5 for King of the Hill..you know..to spark some debate on that shit

[ai002h]

Cosign to the fullest...loved the interview

[d-nice]

Bow Down- pure gangsta rap at its finest.

Bow Down- pure gangsta rap at its finest.

no doubt

[MontrealCity's Most]

Intro - This is one of the best intro ive ever heard, the way the dude talks makes it osund like something serious about to happen

Bow Down - great opener, gangster, str8 to the point, Ice cube rips it here no duobt he comes as hard as he ever came.

G's make the world go round - Laid back track, cool sample, MAck 10 shines.

All the critics in the Nyc - This was my least favorite tune on this record when it first came out but not too long after i loved it too, good beat Ice cube comes with Venom on this one.

Do you like criminals - Very good westcoast synths on this one, guest apperence by K-dee, i realy like the hook on this one, i remember jamming this song at house partys back in the day such a cool vibe this track...Wc opens it up i give this one to Dub, cool rhymes but cube shines as well.

The gangsta the killa and the dope dealer - Love the beat, Nine inch nails sample here called Hurt " and its gonna take a miracle" how many times we recited Cube's rhyme in this track....Cube takes it with Wc and MAck still coming real tight.

Cross em out - My least favorite song on the record...Gangsta ass beat , heavy on the synth, i feel MAck 10 comes real hard on this one along with Cube you can feel they was pist." Im not a mc im not a g i mean im a to fucking z and eveyrthing in between"

King of the hill - Dope dope beat, best diss sonf of all time??? Its def up there you can deny the heat, the straight up anger Ice cube had you can feel the animosity. Cube def rips this one wether its flow, lyrics or rhymes.

3 time felons -  Very laid back,love the hook on this one always been a nice song to ride too for me. Wc spits the last verse and in my opinion comes with dope rhymes and nice delivery...Ice cube delivers a nice little rhyme at the end too.

Westward ho - This beat is insane and lets be honest they cold blooded talkng baout the hoe's on this one. Ice cube shines once agin imo and he's been hard to beat on this record

Hoo bangin - Str8 up PArty track, gangsta ass beat to ride too, posse cut with all of wscg spittin on this one and all coming correct. Of course Ice cube opens up and spits str8 str8 fire. A little jab at Common here ... " im bombin on Common Sense, Chicago is mine Nigga hit the fence" Love this track.

Overal this is one if not my favorite gangsta record of all time. It dosent have too many party track like say a doggystyle had or even a chronic had but these track were hard and made a point. The beats were bangin and when they were laid back like G's make the world go round, do you like criminals and westward ho were smoothed it out. Every Mc comes correct and imo besides Wc who i thiknk his best work was on THe shadiest one this could be ICe cube best work since death certificate but personaly my favorite work from Cube because he came so intense and so determined. As far as MAck 10 its def his best offering, i feel that being surrounded by Cube and Wc realy borught the best out of him
.

So i think thats it thats my reviwe of Bow down!
