I like the cube single better than snoop and Dre’s single
damn .. u were wrong on the hip hop side and the commercial side EA Ski and Ice Cube will forever be a dope combo this proves that staying true to your core audience is always the way to go Snoop & Dre need to take notes
I'm still thinking the same about it is outdated, not special at all. But im wrong that i was thinking it was going to be unsuccesful. However this single "my ego" doesnt have a meaning like ice cube is staying true to his core audience. This was never ice cube's sound in any of his prime days. Yeah it sounds west coast, a cheap one but west coast has different variety of sounds and this one doesnt belongs to ice cube type of west coast.Aint got no haters single was the ice cube old type of shit for example.
what do u mean it doesn’t have a meaning? did “you know how we do” have a meaning?cube didn’t only do political rap .. he made tons of production based braggadocio joints even in his prime calling an EA Ski beat “cheap” is just wrong .. he is a goat level producer and you should probably get more familiar with his catalogue bruh
Yeah "you know how we do it" might be one of his best records ever. What i meant with "meaning" is my ego sound doesnt have a meaning to claim that it is staying true to his core fanbase. Ice cube never did this type of west coast songs in his prime days like 90s and early 2000s. I dont mean he only did political songs. No he did "hello", "fuck dying", "it was a good day", "bow down", "bop gun", "gangsta rap made me do it", etc... any new songs refers to these type of songs may have a meaning to staying true to his core audience. But not "my ego". I guess finally i could explain clearly.When it comes to ea ski. I meant "my ego" beat. Its cheap. Not ea ski.
Ice Cube Scores The Biggest Solo Hit Of His Career On Multiple ChartsIce Cube is back with a new single, “It’s My Ego,” which fronts his forthcoming album. The rapper will drop Man Down later this month, and his fans are clearly interested in more music from the legend–something that’s clear based on how well the just-released song performs as it arrives.“It’s My Ego” debuts on a pair of Billboard charts this week. The single opens inside the top 10 on both tallies it reaches, and it’s a very special win for Ice Cube.The rapper and actor hits a new high with “It’s My Ego,” when looking at his solo material. The single marks his all-time career peak on both Billboard tallies it debuts on this week. To manage such a showing after steadily working on the genres for decades is not a common sight.“It’s My Ego” debuts highest on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. On Billboard’s list of the top-selling rap-only cuts in the nation, Ice arrives at No. 7, marking his third trip to the loftiest tier.The same cut opens one space lower on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales tally, which is a bit more all-encompassing, which helps explain why it performs almost as well. “It’s My Ego” starts its time on that tally in eighth place, and Ice doubles his number of top 10 hits on the ranking as the tune launches.Ice has actually climbed higher on both of the purchase-only rosters, but never entirely on his own. He was part of a supergroup called Mount Westmore for a time, along with Snoop Dogg, E-40, and Too $hort. The band’s single “Big Subwoofer” reached No. 5 on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart and No. 7 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales tally.The rapper scores the highest debut on both rankings his new single reaches this week. Just one other track launches on the two lists, but it’s not the same cut. On the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart, Glorilla’s “Let Her Cook” enters at No. 13. Over on the rap-only roster, KSI and Trippie Redd’s “Thick of It” joins “It’s My Ego,” but it starts its time in last place on the 10-spot roster.
Ice cube never did west coast songs like this in his prime days? Are you ok bro? lol That’s gotta be top 5 wildest things I’ve heard on this forum.
Give me an example please, a hit of ice cube from late 90s and earl whixh sounds like "my ego" type of music.I am saying there are different type of west coast hip hop music, lots of subgenres. Ice cube did a lot of classic west coast music, but my ego type cheap midi type of beat, naah he never did that.
EA Ski doesn’t make cheap midi beats are u familiar with EA Ski?
I think he's talking about the clavinet sound in the beat. Everybody makes cheap midi beats with a midi keyboard connected to the computer these days. That clavinet could be deep sampled 24 layers.
