Cube's most under-rated joints

[TraceOneInfinite]

1.  "Push Rhymes Like Weight" — I know the song got decent play when it dropped but it was never considered along with his classic joints but I am still bumpin this joint regularly up to today and never stopped since this joint first dropped.  The video is sick !! (Aside from the sound effects interrupting the song—which was the thing in those days) — with dope cameos of Mack 10 puffin the cigar and the 2pac look-a-like, lol.  And Short Khop does his thing on the track and his finesse is a perfectly played counter to Cubes force.  Beat is undeniable banger!  Also love the horse sound effect/beat box Cube and his homies were doin in that era — like when he says "ass full of thunder"

The lyrics are a perfectly played metaphor of rhymes/lyrics as illegal drug contraband — like parallel of hiphop and drug sales which has of course been done a million times but I don't think to this degree and for a full song — but even if he bit on PAC's idea it's a great flip of that PAC line into a chorus to drive an entire song — sort of like how Jay-Z and Dre flipped that Daz line from "Serial Killa" into a chorus

I'd be remiss if I didn't give a mention to the notion that Cube bit 2pac's "Bomb First" with the "Yay Yay" on this joint — and I think Napoleon might have even hollered at Cube about that back in the day, not sure

[Sccit]

[HighEyeCue]

Ghetto Vet... the real fans know it and the west coast heads but outside of that box I don't think too many others do

war disc > peace disc

Yup. Push rhymes like weights might be my least liked song on the album.

Ghetto Vet, Peckin Order, Greed, Penitentiary, Extradition, War & Peace, Fuck Dyin, Limos, demos and bimbos - all those are very good songs.

war disc > peace disc

To me otherwise

[Sccit]

To me otherwise

you could argue peace disc had the higher highs

but as a full body of work, war disc was more consistent overall

"We be clubbin/
everybody like when the girl shake something"

vs.

CUBE: YAY YAY I PUSH RHYMES LIKE WEIGHT
Khop: "I PUSH RHYMES LIKE WEIGHT

---you are in violation if you think the first is better than the second.  And "U Can Do It" is wack also

You got it backwards...

"Pushin Rhymes Like Weight" is a mega-all-time banger and the rest of the album is filler

[phatj]

Robbin' Hood (cause it ain't all good)
