ICE CUBE - MAN UP (Official Discussion)

[Westdog]

Ice Cube seems to have forgotten his dope flow and lost his touch after 2006. He needs hits like "Hello", "Why We Thugs".
Sometimes his dope flow slips through here and there, but that's not enough, he needs a well thought out, produced album, like a war album or at least like "laugh now cry later"

[Ebony BONeZ]

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

Worst Cube album? Have u listened to I Am The West or Everythangs Corrupt before?

i like everythangs corrupt. good album.

i am the west is not a good album but not bad as much as "man up".

[WCThang]

"I am the west" have only one dope song - no country for young men. and one good ones - Nothing like LA, dedicated his wife

Soul on Ice, Life in Cali, Too West Coast?

[Eddz]

Nice little album from Cube, I like it. Nothing extraordinary but a good album to listen to.

I wish he would give us an album produced by EA-Ski or at least with him handling most of the production.

[JeremyM]

I like this, to be honest. And I liked Man Down overall, so I'm happy with these two late-career albums from Cube.

[phatj]

Much better then is last album. freedumb bangs

[WCThang]

I like this, to be honest. And I liked Man Down overall, so I'm happy with these two late-career albums from Cube.
