Ice Cube- King Of The West after Raw Footage?

[d-nice]

Just throwing it out there for some convo. If Raw Footage is anything like the first song we have heard, where do you place him with the West's best? Snoop is still doing his thing and has been more active dropping albums and doing peace conferences and things like that and Game did his thing last year and is always killing the mixtape circuit. So what are ya thoughts? Still early to say but where would you place Cube with another dope album if RF is that and the success he had with LNCL. Drop ya comments.

iight i'm feelin this, good topic homie
personally i think raw footage is gonna be dope
i already think that cube is the king of the west
another dope album just broadens his lead IMO
snoop is def. great, but he's got a few average/wack albums in his discography (that 1st no limit 1 is awful, and there's bout 1-3 more avg.)
seriously, which other artist can u argue has 6 classics? (cube's 1st 4 solos & 1st n.w.a & 1st westside connection)?<<-- that's the difference maker IMO
+1 D

True. The funny thing is, I am not even counting his earlier work. Just his guest appearances, LNCL and whatever Raw Footage has to offer. Musically speaking if and I think it will he can top LNCL, I gotta give him the edge. People can talk that movie shit if they want to, but like Cube said on Dr. Frankenstein, And when I want to butter the toast/can't nobody see Ice Cube on no coast.

I mean just off of most current work. You have to give the edge to Snoop the past couple of years just on the strength of him dropping consistent material. Yeah he got a couple duds here and there but for the most part he has been numero uno. I'm saying just off of recent work. Even with Game 2 albums deep, I consider him up there also.

o ok, my bad
yea he been really consistent, and he doin his thing for real with his label, active as fuck
yea his material got a few up & downs, but good for the most part (doggystyle = 1 of greatest rap albums eva)
yea game gotta be up there as well

[d-nice]

Yeah no doubt Cube has a better catalogue than Snoop.

[AnybodyKilla]

I dont know man, Cube is up there though, WAYYY up there lol, no1 can fuck with him really. But does any1 have info on Raw Footage, and whats the 1st song off it?

[.:Hercy Buggz:.]

There is not such thing as King of the west...but without Ice Cube Rap game wouldnt be the same

[Lunatic]

well, let's come back to this thread after Raw Footage & Ego Trippin' drop...

after both 1st singles have leaked it looks like NO competition

[Tekniec]

hands down Cube has a consistent catalogue over Snoop... Cube's def. holding it down for the West IMO

well it's obvious that Snoop's was geared towards radio while Cube's isn't... but yeah, i know what you mean

LOL yup
no doubt
that snoop single is beyond trash wow
and i ain't one to get mad when snoop tries new shit usually
damn, that j.t track on his album was dope!!
but this is 2 fucking far

well, let's come back to this thread after Raw Footage & Ego Trippin' drop... that way we can start @ 2006 since LNCL was Cube's 1st album since 2000... in which case i'd have to say that LNCL is a stellar album considering the 6 year lay off.

LNCL > TBCT
RF ?? Ego Trippin'

I agree, but I am thinking Snoop's new one is going to be R&G pt 2 for some reason. Cube I think is going to raise the bar a little bit and say some things to stir up some controversy on this next one. But most def we will see come 2008.
