ICE CUBE - MAN UP (Official Discussion)

[mreaski]

Gave it a spin around lunch time
I think this album has replay value aside from the Ratchet joint but that's just because I smell like Marlboro and So Sinful
I like the skits and would love to know what movies they come from
Disappointed with the Scarface feature but whoever the kid is that won the competition can rhyme
EA-Ski beat was the hardest
I wasn't sure I'd have the attention span to listen in entirety because social media has decimated my concentration but with 2 minute tracks I absorbed it nicely
You can hear a little maturity on this and Cube's ego shines on Salt & Pepper
Californian Dreamin' beat was sweet
I was hyped for Freedumb
Not peak Cube but he'll be revered until he kicks over so if this is his last album it's a nice swan song

Thank you. salute

one listen as kind of background noise I thought it was pretty decent for today's music.

I disagree with cube sounding competitive on mount rushmore. him and snoop were dwarfed by short and 40 imo.

I agree Cube was pretty disappointing on Mount Rushmore. 40 was easily the best and I've never been a big 40 fan.  Short was pretty embarrassing lyrically on that project.

Thank you. salute

Legend!!

Listened to Scarface again on Ego and I reneg my initial thoughts
That Quake kid killed it
Apparently he's from Halifax NS
Now I gotta listen to the other Scarface feature so I can give him praise on twitter

[JeremyM]

I'm just happy Face is still with us. Verses are just gravy.

I liked the little touch of adding Cube and Face backgrounds on the Ego remix when Quake was quoting them. As others have said, Ski and Cube work well together.

[Westdog]

the best chemistry between Cube and producer's are: ( Budda, EA-ski, T-mix, Dre). i will want to hear Cube and Primo together. what you think?

Listened 3 times since yesterday (as its so short) and can't quite get into the album and beats, its ok nothing great, but Man Down was better. Seems to be leftover tracks from Man Down in all honesty that Cube thought might as well put an album out. Probably should have taken some songs from Man Down and put them on here to even both of them out. My favourite Cube order goes
