Ice Cube- Ghetto Vet Appreciation Thread

[d-nice]

Man I am bumping that Ice Cube in the movies cd and this track came on. Classic Cube. The beat by who else, Bud'da is sick, his storytelling raps are on point, you feel like you right there as he talks about being a gangbanger to being handicapped by a shooting. He got a quotable for the 2nd verse:

My house shoes get wet from the dew on the grass
Up early in the morning takin out the trash
Feelin like a loser alcohol abuser
Two youngsters roll up on a beach cruiser
One on the peddles the other on the handle bars (what)
Tryin be ghetto stars they said:
Are you from the westside is it so?
I said hell yea and who wanta to know (me)
In slow mo fo fo slugs face down in the mud
Puddle full of blood left for dead
The pain starts to spread now I cant feel my legs
I meet doctor who at king drew medical center
As I enter I see you
He said the bullet hit a nerve that was vital
I said I cant move my legs he said dont try to
Now this aint the end my friend but youll probably never walk again
I sit there motionless holdin this pain inside contemplating suicide
At night I jerk and jerk
But my dick dont work it dont even hurt (damn)
Now whod ever thought a nigga rude as ice cube
I be pissin through a tube fool Im a vet

Classic song, definitely one of my favorites post Bow Down, when most feel he started to fall off, but this along with others show he still got it. Maniac In The Brainiac is crazy too. But Ghetto Vet and Greed on that SLEPT ON War Disc are exceptional.

props man, one of my favorites from what I consider the 2nd part of his career after all the classic albums he dropped and post Bow Down like you stated, I used to bump this song all the time, and the hook on this is just so cold to go along with the lyrics and beat, classic track by the greatest westcoast rapper of all time

[You Ain't Shit]

yeh i feel u ma nigga, i luv that track.matta of fact that whole album is fuckin dope. macks and short khops hook is crack.

[d-nice]

Yeah I think this subject matter changed more than anything. He showed on the Crazy Toones mixtape that he still has it. I have been bumping that War Disc again and he had some lyrical heatrocks on that

Ghetto Vet
Greed
Dr. Frankenstein
Penitentiary
3 Strikes You In
Extradition
The Pecking Order

Well you get what I'm saying, but yeah I remember first hearing Ghetto Vet on Master P's I Got The Hook Up soundtrack, back then P had the the game on clack clack lock. Amazing song.

[T-Dogg]

I just listened to that song while I was out. Gotta love that track. It's just real hardcore, a hard-hitting story and dope lyrics.

And the chorus is just hard: "Fool I'm a vet, you can bet, that I can dance under water and not get wet."

[hey hey hey hey smoke weed everyday]
