How many times as Cube actually "fallen off"??????!!!!!!!!
« on: August 24, 2003, 11:02:41 PM »
---He started out with NWA, and a lot of Cali peeps were saying he fell off when he left NWA and hooked up with the Bomb Squad cuz he didnt have thhat Cali sound anymore.  
 ---Then, when he ditched that sound and style, he went westcoast g-funk style somewhat with PRedator and especially with Lethal Injection, and hiphop fans were pissed except for westcoast fans and pop fans.  (By the way, this was my favourite CUbe).  
---Then he switches it up again, and starts throwin up dubs and dissin the east coast (who helped make arguably his best album) with Westside COnnection, alienating more original fans while garnering more and more of tre younger generation who were fixated with Pac and repping the westside.
---Since WSCG album, cube as not really had a huge impact on the game at all.  I really think thhe new Westside album will be dope, but at the same time it is not entirely the Cube i want.  TO me, he is like SNoop, he shows signs of still having it, and one day he will drop an incredible album and then call it quits.   He has been successful for a long time despite 'falling off" according to many people.  I think he needs to get the flow a little more on point (like Chin Check), concentrate on the lyrics, and most importantly believe in wat he is saying.  Because Cube is much betterwhen he is rapping about a wortwhile subject or topic.............Hopefully, if CUbe ever drops his Aftermath album then ha can put it altogether one last time.......peace

I have never heard ANYONE say War was his best, let alone a great album.  But that is kind of my point, Cube has managed to stay relevant cuz e has or has had fans from all generations of hiphop at one time or another.  If you started listening to Cube at War, you might feel that is his best work........regardless, Cube still has a Classic album in him in my opinion, and i do not throw the term around losely

I've heard all of Cubes cds and I have to say that Bootlegs and B-sides and War are my favorites.  

No disrespect to the other albums but they just didn't do it for me.

EDIT:  wow negative karma point for stating an opinion.   ::)

Couldnt agree more!

Even tho Cube is still better than 90% if other MC's, I know the potential he has to be even better.....Hopefully the next album will be the bomb on Aftermath!

Nothing can compete with Cube's first two solo albums (and the EP "Kill At Will"). He was like the G.O.A.T. then. After he started to change his subject matter a bit and used other producers than the Boogie Men/Bomb Squad he kinda lost his golden touch but he's still dope. I'd really want to hear the old Cube over a Sir Jinx beat again though.

Cube fell off a lot with Westside Connection. Thats a dope album 4.5/5, but that's not too much because of Cube. Mack 10 & WC stepped their games up and the 3 of them complemented each other perfectly. Compare the verses on WSC & anything past that to his first 3 albums.......

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.
