Well it was supposed to drop earlier in the year that year (98) but then it got pushed back. I think it was originally for June then the Peace disc 6 months later. Even with it being pushed back he still wanted it to be a 6 month time frame inbetween and it ended up 2 1/2 years.

Man...if there's one song that needs an appreciation its this. IMO this is one of Cube, and gangsta rap, is best tracks period, not only post-Bow Down. The chorus/hook is hard and Cube drops 3 raw classic verses. Every goddamm line off each verse is raw lyrically with amazing story telling.

classic track like you mentioned and greed is off the hook,i agree with everyone the war disc is underated as fuck

the War Disc kinda reminds me of the West Coast Kuruption disc not the content or the rhymes or anything but just the fact that the CD pretty much is underrated and close to classic, where the Peace Disc other than a few very dope tracks is not as good, I still bump "Hello" of the Peace Disc

[Okka]

the war and peace cds are a classic to me

Yeah that album has a very dark mood to it. I'd say beats wise it one of his best, if not the best. Lyrically it is a little weaker than his earlier stuff but he still has dope lines throughout. I think it is better than LNCL.

Laugh Now Cry Later is pretty close but yeah too many tracks on that one, still far from wack maybe a 7/10 and Peace is maybe a 7.5/10

Oh no, LNCL is dope also. I just think War is a better piece of work. Now between Peace and LNCL that is a good debate.

I think Peace might be slightly better, LNCL is dope but too many tracks for me the problem I have with BCT by Snoop also , but definitely one of the top releases of '06

I gotta dissagree with you guys here, Ghetto Vet is better than any track off LNCL, and you can probably say the same for Hello on the Peace Disc being better than any track off LNCL. But imo Cube went back to his roots on LNCL and actually dropped some knowledge and stayed away from the Don Mega stuff that was all over War and Peace.

To me LNCL sounds like an older version of the guy who dropped AMW, DC, Predator, and Lethal Injection...maybe not on the same level, which is to expected, but you could draw the line between the rapper on LNCL and the rapper on Lethal Injection. But the War/Peace discs almost sound toooo different, its coming from a different personality, so imo LNCL is easily better than the Peace disc, and a notch above the War disc.Its all opinion though.
