was behind classic albums with 2 different groups NWA and Westside Connection, his own discography has countless classic albums and several dope to maybe average, I don't think he gets the respect because maybe he has gone into acting and his music isn't his first priority nowadays but I think he has been consistent as anyone in the game releasing the amount of material that he has released, and this is coming from an East Coast dude who is surrounded by Jay-z and Nas fans who both I respect, Nas more than Jay but I think Cube has a better catalog when you look at his overrall work

couldn't of said it better myself. You can make a VALID argument that cube has been apart of about 6 classic albums. That is impossible for any other rapper
i would change thread title to greatest rapper dead or alive ;)

IMO he's 2nd to KRS, maybe 1a and 1b. But imo he's right there and better than the common choices for GOAT...Pac, Biggie, and Jay.
Straight Outta Compton - 5/5
AMW - 5/5
Death Certificate - 6/5 (LOL its that good, this album still amazes me)
Predator - 4.75/5 (Personally my favorite)
Lethal Injection - 4.5/5 (5-6 classic racks on an 11 track album)
Bow Down - 5/5
War Disc - 4/5
Peace Disc - 3/5
Terrorist Threats - 3.75/5
LNCL - 4/5 (Could've been 4.5 mics if he chose better beats and cut some meat out)
He has 2 group classics, 2 definete solo classics, and possibly 3 if you include Predator. And these arent everyday classics, Straight Outta Compton basically birthed and mainstreamed Westcoast Gangsta Rap and Death Certificate is the GOAT West Coast LP, better than Chronic, Doggystyle, or any Pac CD.

Str8 Outta Compton - 5/5
AMW - 4.75/5 - CD ws sooooo short, and for me that caused a minor problem
DC - 6/5 ;)
Predator - 4.5/5
Lethal Injection - 4.75/5
Bow Down - I gotta re-do this one to make my mind up
War Disc - 3.5/5
Peace Disc - 3.25/5
Terrorist Threats - 4.25/5
LNCL - 4.25/5

yeah I just want to see everybody's opinion on him, even his average material is highly listenalble and to me that is an important factor while he was making his movies and still is he has the ability to put out dope material, but his classic stuff is just unmatched I would consider him probably the greatest of all time also

He's held to a higher standard because his earlier work was off the charts...so when Cube comes "subpar" its still better than the majority of shit out there.

but to me, his "sub-par" shit is only "sub-par" because of his earlier shit. It's not held to the same standards, because it ain't classic or near classic. But his "sub-par" shit would be "near classic" in 90% of ALL other rappers catalogs

One of the best to ever do it. Of all time though alive is tough because including Cube, alot of other rappers are adding to their legacy. I actually got into a debate with my homeboy about if Snoop or Cube has a better catalogue.

I loooooooooooove Snoop.....but its an insult to Cube to even compare their catalogue.

That is what I said. I said you can even argue Cube's weaker albums by fans standards like War, Peace and LNCL are comparable or even better than Snoop's weaker albums.

Exactly...but Snoop doesnt get nearly the same heat or criticism as Cube would get.

he gets alot as well. Especially for all the pop shit he's made

Cube got heat for We Be Clubbin a little bit, but that song was a hit and You Can Do It was a smash also. Snoop has also had success with doing songs out of the norm for him. I don't count that against either of them. I just go by albums head to head and IMO I think Ice Cube has a better catalogue. But that is the cool thing about it, they both are legends and it makes for a good debate on both sides.

hes better than jayz. but thats not sayin too much....
i think he is the greatest rapper alive, ill agree. 8)

I just saw Cube in concert a few months back and I also saw Nas as well so of all time hip hop I am torn between a few rappers but for the west coast I would have to say Cube.

Scarface has a nice catalogue as well. You gotta remember when your including alive rappers, there are a couple others that match up well with Ice Cube.
-
Cube lost a lot of respect for the kid movies but dudes the best from the west. Dunno about all time but he's better than Pac...
-

yea i gotta do scarface's catalog as well. I got a damn good feeling it's gonna be off the hook!!
i already got all his albums set up fo me 8)

I am not saying he is the best but his catalogue is insane for about the 1st 4 or 5 albums up to and including The Fix. Group albums= Geto Boys? nuff said on that. He is up there. And he improved on the mic with his albums excluding all those BS "albums" J Prince started putting out the last couple of years but he is up there. Nas has a nice one, I don't know how many Rakim has, maybe a few more but not many.

untouchable
my homies (2 discs)
the last of a dying breed
the fix (it's wack you say? i've heard my block and that song is fire...plus appearances from WC & nas)
my balls and my world
my homies pt. 2 (more of a compilation the pt.1 was by the looks of it)
am i missing any d-nice? i'm seeing three others called "the don", "face 2 face" and 1 called "the features" (i'm guessin the third is a fan made compilation of his guest spots)

Yep that is it. I meant to add The Fix in as dope albums he has done so nobody diss me for a typing error. ;D If you want to add the Geto Boys/Facemob catalogue also it matches up well with Cube. Face is probably my 3rd favorite artist behind Cube and Pac. Face 2 Face is just a compilation of hits with 2pac and Face on it and I don't recognize the other 2. I would consider Face the King Of The South just on his history but he has not been active on the album tip for a minute.

alright from quick research, these are albums i would think i wanna get from geto boyz/facemob
geto boyz:
--grip it! on that other level or geto boyz (first album with scarface and willie d apart of the group) (seems like these albums are almost the same, which 1 do you recommend d-nice, if not both?)
--we can't be stopped
--til death do us part (mc big mike replacing willie d)
--the ressurection (willie d returns to replace mc big mike)
--the good, the bad, and the ugly (bushwick bill leaves, group becomes duo scarface and willie d)
--the foundation (back 2 scarface, willie d, bushwick bill)
Face Mob:
the other side of the law

That's it. There are a couple of Facemob albums after that one but Face was hardly a part of the group by then.

-
no question he is in my mind.
-
for show he is dope as fuck
-
cube and face are def on my list
-
Weezy F? haha im kiddin nah when it comes to legends and expanditure of this game Cube is one of the cornerstones
-
yup
-
also forgot to mention going gold on an independent label with his last album, don't know how many rappers have done that but it proves that in this era when other more commercial artists are struggling to sell 300,000 that Cube still is revelent in the game 17 years after his first album
-
Yep Cube been doper then the biggie's, rakim's, jay-z's, nas's etc....
He needs to really lyrically kill it with his next album.

2 my fav mc - 2pac & ice cube
-
2 my fav mc - 2pac & ice cube
Too bad they only did 1 track together...and it was before Pac really, really blew up. Always wished they did something around 95-96.
-
Ice Cube just might be at the top of my personal favourites list. I've always been undecided who exactly I consider to be the greatest or my favourite or whatever, but Cube's most definately among the few contending for that #1 spot.
-
Cube is a mafuckin legend ight......aint no one put out that much classic westcoast shit EVER, only person who kinda can go against him is Pac if he was still alive. But Cube god dayummmm, u cant even argue that he aint the best, if he aint, then who is really? I honestly think cube has a SOLID 3 years left in him and after that he should stick to just producing, after his next album comes out "Raw Footage" i think he should put out 2 more and thats good enough, cause being on top this long, and like u guys said LNCR was more then subpar but compared to like DA its a classic, like people aint really on his level. But You can only be on top for so long u know before u start to fall off just like Spice 1, Spice is another classic on top on my list, but listen to his new shit, its like wtf r u doing man, he aint even puttin out shit no more, and i dont wanna see Cube go down like that or anything, but anyways Cube is no doubt the best west coast artist of all time!!
-
This is a great thread BTW. I think I would have to listen to a few other rappers catalogues to make a sound choice, but mos def for the west it's Cube hands down.

yeah its between Cube and Nas for me but considering the classic work Cube put out with Westside Connection and of course NWA put him ahead IMO
-
Yeah seeing both Nas and Cube live a few months back and just listening to all the hits both have, you could make a argument for either one.
-
I personally feel like, if Cube had stop making music after Lethal Injection, he really could be up for candidate of Greatest Rapper. But after the first WSC album, his stuff has slowly deteriorated in my eyes. He still has a dope track here or there, but on the whole it's subpar to me.

I somewhat Agree
His last good record was Peace, war wa cool.
Wscg Was his best work in my opinion. His last 2 offering Lncl and terrorist threats are terrible

Yeah his subject matter changed alot after Lethal Injection. It became more gangsta and club oriented. Not as many politicial tracks or social commentary as his earlier stuff. But alot of rappers with the time put in like Cube have done it also. I can still enjoy his later material though. That War disc has always been one of my favorite Cube records. Peace was cool, and LNCL is good. Then CT Experience came out and also a couple of guest appearances and Cube has got that fire back. He is killing his verses again. I got a feeling he is going back to his roots on Raw Footage though. I think once it took him a little bit of time to get back in the swing of things with the music, but he showed me alot with this last record. He can still make hits.
-
You damn right!!! He's one of the best ever! The only reason he's not at the top is because he's rich and doesn't get that hunger anymore. I.E Eminem, Mobb Deep,...etc..

damn, terrorist threats is a gem IMO. Dub came wack on that album, mack was iight, but cube was str8 spittin man...To me, this album was the real return of cube REALLY spitting
Just face it, I blaze shit
Yo shit is basic, my shit is matrix

I'm straight off the slave ship, my style is ancient
I'm rich and I'm famous, I'm on, I'm dangerous

That bitch had to sell her pussy for a decade
And that's too much time for the brainy one
I'm on a daily run
To crack your cranium
Wrap uranium
Ain't nothin else
I pimp the system
Bitch break yourself
If they got scrilla
Then I'm gorilla
If they figure
I'm a killa
Cause I'm a nigga
Your prostitutes wear high heeled boots
My prostitutes wear three piece suits
Count your money nigga
It's catastrophic when I stop it
Atomic, Demonic, And off that chronic
It's Ironic, How I flip them phonics
So fucked up, The product of reaganomics
Shit, My life is like a rap show
I'm out the back door, Beyatch, So beware of the strap, Bro
Cause that's how my blast go
Ice cube is an asshole just like castro :D
I kick game, big game, Nickname
Insane, Ice Cube spit flame
Yall niggaz gone feel it down-range
Body feel strange (Blah!!) No brain
I'm a throwback, that know how a gangsta do it and a hoe' act
Get off tha dick if you don't wanna blow dat
Cuz bitches trip the Bulls, act like Prozac.
Now there's Gangsta-ism, and tribalism
I'm only fuckin, wit survivalism
Fo-fo to the do' is my religion, Now wha's yours
Pray, before I bust yours...
You used to be hardcore
What the fuck you lookin hard for nigga standin on the park fo'
Wit yo golf club rappers
Get off drugs, extasy is turnin niggaz into soft thugs
Wit all these promises, showin straight bitches where yo mama live
I know what time it is
I'm the game lord, here to punish you
For lyin to every bitch that your runnin to
Tryna show every hoe how fly you are
You's a motherfuckin fool if you buy the bar
I'm buyin two drinks, fuck you skanks
Both of em mine, what chu think
I gets full of liquor, pound a stripper
You gets drunk nigga, pull up wit her
Drivin yo shit, like it's her shit
Under the surface, you like her bitch
Make a nigga sick to his stomach
On the mic I been a deamon since seamen
How you screamin': Oh mama, here come that young O'Sama
With that Al-Quaida drama
Fuck no
It's the Dalai Lama, wit that West World Order
Now MC's Bow Down and treat me like Yoda
When they catch me in the corner after club
Like "nigga whuut", they t'ow up the dub
So you can tell Samuel L. I'ma keep ac'in
You can even tell that motherfucker Jassie Jackson
Pay your child suport, keep your payments up
Put a rubber on and don't fuck wit us
Everybody know jail records sell records
Imma catch a case come to court nigga bail naked
I got the formula double murder equal double platinum
I know these bitch niggaz wonderin' why I'm bustin' at em
The rich a famous ignoramus
It's kind of Haynes with the picture of the world that he paint us
The most dangerous angriest lyrics that a thug got
Ain't enough nigga where your mug shot?
Where's your drug spot nigga yous a was-not
I cant bump your shit if you never was shot
Before you bust a verse nigga go snatch a purse
You ain't my dogg till you laid up in a hurse
And you'll learn about loyalty when the record company
Try to fuck your family out the royalty
Your number one with a bullet and you took it in the back
Goddamn that nigga can rap
if y'all ask me, all them verses are FIRE 8)
true that his subject matter changed, but even since lethal injection he's had some real cool tracks still, with most coming on LNCL:
Once Upon a Time In The Projects 2
24 Mo Hours

-
LNCL is near classic album!Next his album will be classic, his hungry again
-
I personally feel like, if Cube had stop making music after Lethal Injection, he really could be up for candidate of Greatest Rapper. But after the first WSC album, his stuff has slowly deteriorated in my eyes. He still has a dope track here or there, but on the whole it's subpar to me.
Yeah his subject matter changed alot after Lethal Injection. It became more gangsta and club oriented. Not as many politicial tracks or social commentary as his earlier stuff. But alot of rappers with the time put in like Cube have done it also. I can still enjoy his later material though. That War disc has always been one of my favorite Cube records. Peace was cool, and LNCL is good. Then CT Experience came out and also a couple of guest appearances and Cube has got that fire back. He is killing his verses again. I got a feeling he is going back to his roots on Raw Footage though.
damn, terrorist threats is a gem IMO. Dub came wack on that album, mack was iight, but cube was str8 spittin man...To me, this album was the real return of cube REALLY spitting
Just face it, I blaze shit
Yo shit is basic, my shit is matrix
Make you erase shit
Niggaz won't say shit, but DJs you ain't shit
Cuz you don't play shit, unless it's that gay shit
I'm straight off the slave ship, my style is ancient
I'm rich and I'm famous, I'm on, I'm dangerous
I came wit that language, it's mad, it's brainless
You study at Cambridge, I'm fuckin' yo main bitch
Plus my ebonics is full, of gin and tonic, erotic
Yeah you got it, hypnotic, plus I got it, brrr
After nine eleven niggaz got patriotic
On nine twelve I'm like fuck it nigga blaze the chronic

Oh yeah, Cube was spittin on that Terrorist Threats. Like I said, for me I find the subject matter he picks really makes a difference in the song. The more party tracks from him can come off a little bland at times but ones with solid topics he shows he can still wreck shop. For example here are some I dig off his more recent albums.
Extradiction
3 Strikes You In
The Peckin Order
The Curse Of Money
Cash Over Ass
Ghetto Vet (one of his better story telling joints, very descriptive on this one)
Greed (dope ass track, he killed it)
Hello
Penitentiary
Dr. Frankenstein
Until We Rich
Why We Thugs
I picked alot off the War disc (hell the whole War disc is bangin) but also WSC tracks Luni mentioned and others.

greatest rapper alive, no doubt
who other mcs have 6 classics???
-
Ice Cube was an amazing rapper from the late 80's to the mid 90's. But after Westside Connections first album. I just can't stand to bump his shit. . .
-
Isn't his shit ghost-written nowadays?
-
Isn't his shit ghost-written nowadays?
doubt it...never heard that rumour either
-
Isn't his shit ghost-written nowadays?
No way...it would be pretty dick considering he says "fuck a ghostwriter" in his lyrics.
-
cube's catalog is top 5 material. scarface, ghostface killah, jay-z, nas, outkast are in the same boat. I favor cube out of all of them though. except for kast that is.
-
Fuck a ghostwriter sittin in the back
Of the studio tryin to write a niggas rap
It's the Muppet Show
Most niggas need A&R, to tell them how to fuck a hoe
Ice Cube, true mc, write everything I say, even back in the day
