Rapper/actor Ice Cube has announced that he will release his seventh solo album, Laugh Now, Cry Later, in June via his independent label, Lench Mob Records.
The album is the follow-up to Ice Cube's Greatest Hits collection, which hit stores in 2001. The rapper, born O'Shea Jackson, put his film career on hold to focus on recording the new LP.
"It's a record that flows from kind of one tone to the next," Ice Cube told AllHipHop.com in a recent feature. "Laugh Now, Cry Later really is the state of the world in a way. You know, you could say it's the state of the world, the state of America, the state of urban America.
Now everybody's doing a lot of playing and nobody's really thinking about when God's gonna make us pay for all this at some point in time. That's really what inspired me to make it that title."
Scott Storch, Lil' Jon and Swizz Beatz are among the contributing producers on the 18-track album, with Snoop Dogg, WC and others making guest appearances.
The first single is the Scott Storch-produced social commentary titled "Why We Thugs."
Ice Cube started his career as a member of the pioneering rap group N.W.A., on Eric "Eazy E" Wright's Ruthless Records.
Ice Cube left the group because of a financial dispute with Wright and N.W.A.'s manager, Jerry Heller.
In 1990, he released his solo debut, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, which was followed by Death Certificate, War and Peace, Lethal Injection, The Predator and others.
Laugh Now, Cry Later hits stores June 6.

So Cubes using one of Scotts Storch's beats to give him that summer hit single to kick off the buzz around the new LP.
18 tracks on the LP, good.
-
looking forward to it

...via his independent label, Lench Mob Records.

Storch better come with a banger this time around instead of some quickly-put-together-keys & horns.
I'm looking forward to hear the album though...
Cube's been getting quite a lot of exposure lately with this new album.

Scott Storch is close enough, I guess.
-
Fredwreck WILL be on Cube's new album.
Comin from Wreck's official website.

I'm not a big Scott Storch fan. Hated Lean Back, Candy Shop, etc. I also wasn't big on the idea of the Neptunes on there either, but I thought Chrome & Paint came off well. I've liked every leaked song so far - and I've been really feelin his subject matter lately. Finally an album that actually has something to say. It'd be dope if The Bomb Squad showed up as well. I'm buying when it drops.

Dre is the only one on that list who i really want to see on there. i wouldnt mind fred wreck either
-
good news. with yuks new album, this is at the top of my list.
-
I'm not really expecting an amazing album outta cube, just something to bump for a few months like his last couple albums. And I'm sure that's what we'll get.

I feel the same way. I always hope for the best, but it's best to be realistic about these things.
-
shit i'm excited, i've been bumping all the tracks out so far.
-
Cant wait for this album. I bumped "24 Mo Hours" the other day I forgot how sick this song was. Im defintiely fiending for more of those tracks, Battlecat and Ice Cube is a dope combo
-
Ice Cube over a Swizz Beatz track :o
I hope they make a dope track 2gether, "Sittin On 23z" is Swizz's latest dope beat, i hope he can produced some shit like that, and i'm hopin that Cube gets a "The Streets" or "The Way I Am" type of beat fom Scott Storch.

2bad=/ scott storch must be the man who can get away with producing 25singles in one year and all the shit sounds a-like. its just dres style. just like 25% as good. ,P lets hope ice cube spitting can save it tho. 2bad scott storch was the go-to-guy-to-get-an-single-and-get-on-the-top40-list-to-move-some-albums of 05.

Too bad he wasn't even nominated for producer of the year at tha Grammy's and he had so many songs up in tha charts last year

What did you expect?That he's gonna have the same producers from 94? Plus westcoast producers are not bringing anything creative or new at the moment.

that's tha problem witt these fans nowadays they expect niggaz to have albums like their classic albums.
I disagree witt tha new producers ain't bringing anythingncreative, you need to check out niggaz like Dae One, Klassic, Dem Jointz, J. Wells to name a few
-
I hate the producers he chose. Kinda dissapointing. I always look forward to a new Cube joint, but I'm not anticipating it to be anything special.

Yeah I heard it the other day too pretty good song
-
So is Dr Dre definitely off this cd? Maybe Cube will be on Detox for old times sake
-
I heard "Why We Thugs" on the radio yesterday...well the tail end of it. The beat wasn't bad. I liked it better than "Chrome & Paint" and "A Lotta Tha"t but I'm still feeling "Child Support" the most.
-
can someone post the track, or upload it.
-
that new ice cube track is kind of weak. It won't get any mainstream play. That gangsta rap went out in the mid 90s. Ice cube needs another "It was a good day" or players club. Somethign that will cross over. I wouldnt mind another "Steady Mobbin'" myself! I'm disappointed in the first single and I'm a life long Cube fan.
