ICE CUBE - MAN UP (Official Discussion)

[geezy]

Have listened to this twice top to bottom this morning.

I like it, I'm going to listen a couple of more times.

I like the productions.

Sometimes, Cube's songs feels like you have it before and I think it's because he refused upgrade or switch  up his flow & delivery style now and then

3/5 or 3 5/5.

Happy some  legends are still putting good effort  in, to give us something new to bump

3 or 3.5 means bad isnt it?

As i see, he upgraded and did something a little different with Mount Westmore project. He really sounded competitive on that.

[Jay_J]

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

Only "your money or your life" track can beat whole man down and man up albums by itself only.

Checked it out just now and I think its a dope album.
Especially the two songs by DekadeZ are impressive to me, I really feel those.
Also a Mekanix track, awesome, first they have a big track with Snoop and now with Cube, them dudes are shining on the coast.
Good release from Cube, good to see him still doing it

Man Power is excellent

Not bad, not great- about what I expected. 5-7 good ones

3 to 3.5 out of 5 is not bad.

It's Decent to Good territory


I agree with Mount Westmore. I need to listen to that project all.over again

After listening 4 or 5 times I take back the self hate comment regarding Before Hip Hop

[WCThang]

Just so happy to see Cube put out albums in back to back years

[gfunk2024]

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.

Yeah, it grew on me though I still think Gangster Rap Made Me did it better.

You right, but I think that partially can be attributed to it being a bunch of bay area/40 type beats all over the album where of course 40 and Short can effortlessly flow to. But back on topic, this Ice Cube album is pretty solid.

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.

salute.
