[doggfather]

Damn this ain't available, I haven't heard it yet.

Realy like this 1, more than my ego.

[WCThang]

Dope record!

[gfunk2024]

I like it. Nothing amazing, but it is good. I like it a lot better than It's My Ego.

[JeremyM]

Agreed. It's fine, but it's subject matter he's covered before. Decent album cut but doesn't seem like a strong single to me.

[Westdog]

Dope video

[WCThang]

Feels like Cube can't win. Some of y'all complain it sounds "west coast" or subject matter he's covered before.

But if he made a forced radio single that strays from his sound, you'd be complaining even more.

Just enjoy a good record and be happy Cube is dropping another album so soon!

[Laconic5261]

Agreed. This is dope as hell IMO. Can't wait for the album on 9.12.25.

[WCEric]

Before Hip Hop is that jam. Cube's writing on here is the best its been in years! Great track.

i personally like that he's stickin wit a west coast sound true to himself and not chasing trends

[Ebony BONeZ]

You could really dig deep on the subject matter
Is he saying hip-hop isn't to blame for crack, pimpin and street shit or is he saying the black community never had a golden era?

Hip hop isn’t to blame for the issues in society. It’s literally been going on before there was hip hop. Sign me up for more social commentary Ice Cube.

I agree. Remember Drop Girl with 2 Chainz? Cube's lowest low musically lol.

My own father educates me on ills in the black community when I talk about the Panthers so I know Cube not going out on a limb here
I was just getting into Vice Lord history last week and they've been active since the 60's
For some reason..... I'm getting a "self hate" vibe here
Probably because I'm so use to Cube being a voice for the culture, the movement, the community, the disenfranchised
