Anyone Still Bump Raw Footage?
« on: April 17, 2009, 08:07:29 PM »
Great album. Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It is still to me one of the coldest Cube tracks of all time. Man that beat was pure fire. I think it's one of those albums that people will appreciate further down the line from him.

Hell no. Worst Ice Cube album ever. I don't think he can sink any lower than that.

I did last week, because of Cube's show I was going to...maybe it's his worst album, but it's still better than other rappers' best album


Rap is not real, I don't care what they told you,

I make it hard to read me, graffiti flow - Rakim - Word On The Streets

this album is wack .. 4 or 5 good tracks, rest of the songs are from average to trash ... overall the most dissapointing thing on it is Cube flow ...  it lacks energy on most of the songs

almost half of the album is on point, the other half sucks.

i don't think i'll appreciate it more over time, as he didn't deliver what he promised.

I gotta agree with the threadstarter, it's Cubes best album since Lethal Injection for me (not counting WSC albums).

Only tracks I didn't like that much were Stand Tall and Get Money Spend Money. And Dre-Day what do you mean that he didn't deliver what he promised? I mean, what did he promise?

he planned to drop a raw, hardcore album without aiming for commercial success.

it didn't turn out like that

I think for the stronger songs on the album it went over a few peoples heads. At times his flow was a little dull but I felt overall he put together a dope project. Still don't rank it higher than his early work but definitely enjoyable.

I have to agree that it's a great album minus a few bumps here in there, ie Got My Locs On, Here He Come, Get Used To It.  I've also said that people will probably come around to it in the future.  But we are dealing with the largest group of shidiots the rap community has ever come across.  Once those shidiots are purged, albums like this, Acid Reflex, and others will be embraced.

Production wise the Raw Footage was stunning. It was filled with great beats but the whole album suffered of Ice Cube's mediocre rhymes. As complained above the title didn't really live up to its name. Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It and It Takes a Nation laid a good foundation for the album so I was expecting to hear tales of cracker torching and child support checks being lost in the mail and all that shit, but unfortunately the album turned out to be rather tame. If you can forgive Cube's underperformance, you have a great album in your hands. The well done beats on this album are the reason why I still play some of its songs now and then.
