nice detailed review well i disagree that Cube came through for the most part and it could have been a lot stronger, but i can see where you're coming from

Subject matter was definitely a step up from the last 2.
Thanks for the review, D. It sounds like we agree on the overall rating and most other facets of this album. I'm surprised Hood Mentality had to grow on you though. Chad Vader said something similar to that as well. As far as I'm concerned, this album got downplayed real quick because of it dropping around the same time as LAX. I don't think a lot of people took the time to soak it up and really give it a chance. With that said I believe people are gonna come back to it later on and say "man, this shit is great" or "damn, I was sleeping." IMO this is much better than LNCL and will get far more replay value simply because of the subject matter. I can honestly say I don't have a favorite from it because there so many solid records on here. However, if I were to change it I would cut "I Got My Locs On" "Here He Come" and "Get Use To It" and replace them accordingly with "Crack Baby?" "Why We Thugs Live" "It Takes A Nation Remix" "GRMMDI Remix" and "Believe It Or Not." And Cube should have dropped a DVD with videos for all the songs on it like LNCL

I think with Hood Mentality for me the beat was different so it took me a little bit to get a ear to it, but I like it. Definitely better than LNCL and I still bump that one all the time. I also hope he does do a Special Edition DVD version like LNCL. He did that after the regular version so he still has time. Maybe go back and do a proper remix to GRMMDI with a new verse from him. Yeah LAX overshadowed this album a little bit but I hope it will catch on eventually with people.

But this along with Paris, Murs, etc I just think is as dope or more than Game or some other west coast releases that are out and get more publicity. I always see all these Game, 40 Glocc and Spider Loc threads so I decided to do a Cube review for those thinking about maybe checking it out and just dropping my 2 cents. But yeah Dre it will probably fall on deaf ears.
