I havnt listened to it all the way through so far, im up to the joint with snoop produced by lil jon. But up that point cube comes correct but the production is lacking very badly and does not do cube justice at all.
-
beats suck, the lil jon and scott Stortch beats are obvious trash leftovers
I can't believe Cube doesn't have an ear for this shit
so far 7/10
-
I got the album today. Easily one of my fav albums of the past few years. I wasnt even sure Cube had it in him to make an album like this, but the shit is bangin! I can bump this whole cd from front to back and its good, quality westcoast music. Cubes flow is on point on here, and the production bangs IMO!
-
i was pleasently surprised. people are just going to have to get used to beats not sounding like they were made 1n 1997
-
I think the Album is dope.........def. bangin'

Im not one of those people that are caught up in why dont it sound like it did back in the 90's but the production on it has been really shitty. Which is a shame b/c Cube is back to his A game on this.
-
Album was wack.,..few good songs..but it's been played...well...somewhat played out....
I'm glad i dl his album...wasn't worth buying..
needed to fix his beats....
5/10

I'm really feelin this album to the fullest, "Growin Up" has been in my head all day, but my top favorite
tracks so far is "Go to Church", "Game Lord", and "Doin What it Pose 2 Do". Also why are so many
people hatin on the beats/production? the whole album is bangin especially Lil Jon's beat for
"Go to Church".
-
i liked the album but to many skits.Cube comes correct on this album but i would have like a few more guest appearances on it. 8/10

I'm not used to those sounds...it sounds weird..and boring..
-
Production sounds fine to me...the only beat I wasn't feeling is the one on "Go To Church"...but that's probably only because I'm not a huge crunk fan. I'm not going to argue w/ anybody about that, because taste in beats/production is subjective; one man's trash is another's treasure--no two people are really going to agree on that aspect of music.
But yeah, lyrically, Cube came w/ it better than I thought he would...he has a helluva lot more to say than most of the rappers clogging up the mainstream rap world today w/ their wack-ass shit! Only tunes I can't get used to lyrically are "The Game Lord" (nice beat, but vocally, it sounds better on headphones--I wonder if Cube's mic could have been turned up a little louder) and "You Gotta Lotta That" (not a bad song by itself, but it seems a little repetitious coming after "Steal The Show", which is a far-superior take on getting pussy and whatnot.
I won't say it's in the same league w/ AMW or DEATH CERTIFICATE (how many CDs out there are?), but it's at least as good as THE PREDATOR and LETHAL INJECTION, and it's certainly better than WAR or PEACE!
LAUGH NOW, CRY LATER = Not a classic, but still excellent. THE SOURCE was on-point (for a change) when they gave it four mics...that's about right. Just my opinion, though.
PEACE!

Yeah i guess but still some beats are juts plain weak. His flow is pretty good rhymes are tight but most the beats are terrible.

Lethal INjection was pure classic...especially with that GHETTO BIRD song...
anyway...i wanted to comment on war and peace....yea.war wasn't too strong...but hell....peace was still good...actually..one of the great albums...
-
For someone that been in the Game for more than a Decade I think its a good record..he's flow is on point , lyrics are on point and he actually fits the beats and y'all cant deny that he sounds good over a Lil Jon Beat "Go to Church" is a tight song and Im glad its the next single...this will blow up in the clubs this summer...also "Growing Up" is a nice song I cant stop bumpin it

I respect your opinion but I don't see how you can call Peace vol 2 one of the great albums. Peace was a piece of shit IMO. Laugh Now, Cry later is much better. Dope beats: "Why We Thugs", "Smoke Some Weed", "Child support"....fuck it the only ones didn't like was steal the show, Stop Snitchin and maybe Holla @ Boy(but it's starting to grow on me).....
-
Plant hit it right on the head
This album is a banger to the fullest. There is no wack song on this album. A few ok ones, but easily over 2/3 of this album are dope as fuck
gotta lotta that- one of my fav beats on the album
why we thugs/child support
doing what it posed 2 do
smoke some weed
are prob my fav songs so far, but all the songs are growin on me nice
8-8.5/10
easily better than war and peace, and but not comin close to lethal injection or predator. the classics on those albums are untouchable
-
Cube comes correct on this album but i would have like a few more guest appearances on it
thats one thing i like about the album.. that theres onyl a few apperances and the apperances were good 1s that fit Cube, rather than for example Warren Gs latest album that was filled with guests, i baught the album to hear Cube and thats wut i got
as for the production.. its pretty good for the most part. only beat i dont like is Stop Snitchn, the rest are listenable and they bump in a system
my fav tracks so far are "Child Support", "Doin What It Pose 2Do", "Go To Church", "Grown Up", "Spittin Pollaseeds" and pretty much every track i didnt mention
i didnt think there was too many skits.. the skits were actually listenable like "History of Violence" and "2 Decades Ago".. Dimes and Nicks was hilarious but it went on for too long i thought
so far id give it a 8/10 but iv found that i hafta give the album atleast a year to give it my final decision
btw the Peace Disc was tite as hell! i bumped that during the whole year of 2000
-
Cube maybe only 2nd to 2Pac is my favorite rapper and this album slaps!!! And the bonus cuts were a nice addition. It's like he knew the shit was going to leak and he rewarded the true fans. It is not is best album but what album is these days. I thought the production is very tight and it bumps in the ride. Cube kept it simple, which I expected, but hopefully on the next album he will get a little more political than this one.

thats all u care about tthe beats? mr. dj quik-suckin groupie....
but yea i thought the album was dope....cube's lyrics were on point...the beats were good...not bad..."child support" is a banger....i c the track with kokane was a remix off mr. kane right?

yeah i hear ya...it's all good...
i mean from peace..."till we rich" and other tracks...those were dope though....anyway..whatever..it's all good.
-
still aint copped it yet, imma cop busta and cube same day
-
this new Ice Cube cd is better than "The Big Bang" IMO, hands down.
-
i was pleasently surprised. people are just going to have to get used to beats not sounding like they were made 1n 1997
Yeah i guess but still some beats are juts plain weak. His flow is pretty good rhymes are tight but most the beats are terrible.
-
I think im the only one who dosent like smoke some weed i find it extremly annoying.
-
Good, not Great
-
Lyrically, this is the hardest Cube has come in a long time. I'm glad he's not makin' joint like "We Be Clubbin" anymore. The beats range from tight to mediocre, in my opinion. Smoke Some Weed, Nigga Trapp and Growin' Up are my joint. Click Clack is cool too. Spittin' Pollaseeds is a great joint as well. But the Lil Jon and Swizz Beats joints are just unlistenable to me, I'm sorry. And Scott Storch joints sound like watered down Dre tracks. 7/10.

Coulnt of said it better, HE shoudl of called soopafly or Battlecat for some beats instead of lil jon but he did say in a interview he realy liked lil jons beats so if thats what he likes i guess thats cool i just wont be down.
Its not a bad record the hole idea behind child support is great.
-
Here is the real test....five years from now, will you still be listening to this album?
By the way, when does it come out in stores?
-
I think im the only one who dosent like smoke some weed i find it extremly annoying.
i can see myself hating it in a few months but im trying to enjoy the short time it sounds fresh
-
i like it but at the same time....it's a typical album, it's what would be expected
IMO cube needs to get all artistic on us and make a concept album
he does all this acting producing and movie writing i don't see why he can't make an album like the who's tommy where it tells the story of something, i can see cube doing something like that and making it classic, he touched on that with the first war and peace, but i know he could make a full album like that.
-
Very solid album. I like the fact that he did it without the majors... straight indy… and he didn’t have to sacrifice on quality either.
Stop Snitchin is sick… and I can never get tired of Chrome and Paint. That beat... Cubes flow... song came out perfect. (“I am the wrong the niiiya… too fu@kin grown niiiya…“)
-
why we thugs is the best track and i like the verse in "Go to church" when he disses Mike Jooonness!
8/10
-
this new Ice Cube cd is better than "The Big Bang" IMO, hands down.
not in my opinion. Cube came with it , well atleast those few tracks i heard were dope, but better then Busta's, homie slap urself. All Bustas tracks that i heard Hurt U, Touch It, My Bitch are all 9 or 10's in my book, plus Dre's Producing it as if u couldnt tell by the quality & sounds of the tracks.

Cubes album is dope to me, a banger all the way thru, maybe 2 songs that wasnt dope. i didnt like the last song, holla at ya boy. but really was a dope album,. only listend once so far.. but damn i thought it would be dope, but it is better than i tyhought
-
Is it only me or does the person doing the Hook for Click Clack sound like Kurupt?
-
Best cube material since Bow Down.
-
I haven't heard it yet, only 1 or 2 singles maybe
he can still spit though, probably a real good lyrical CD
-
damn this CD is a banger. i just made a burned copy and added the 2 BESTBUY bonus tracks and the 2 TARGET bonus tracks so now i got 24 tracks of bangers minus the skits. (its fucked up i had to edit one song to make it fix. the chrome n paint remix i just made a lil shorted to make it fit on the 80 minute cd. now i got me the full cd.
-
This cd is heat. I'm lovin it so far. My favorite shit is "Go to church", "Memory Lane", "Why we Thugs", "The Nigga Trap", this album bangs
-
I'm lovin' it like Mickey D's. Dope material throughout. If you don't think the album's quality, then you don't know quality.
-
Here is the real test....five years from now, will you still be listening to this album?
By the way, when does it come out in stores?
The albums okay, reminds me of the War disc, blew me first few listens. I'll prolly forget about the album and pick it up a few years later to reminisce.
-
Good Cd. Not His best But I am happy.
-
For a true west coast album this is a banger. Cube is completely on point and his flow/lyrics are strong as ever in my book. Is it a classic? Thats not my call but it has the potential to be IMO
-
There only song I really cant get into is the title track..
I mean I love the lyrics and the idea of the song, just not feeling that beat...
Im loving Stop Snitchin, beats insane... Love Steal the show...
Love almost every trackk...
Very happy with the album..
-
I'm lovin' the album, so far it's my favorite westcoast release from 2006..."Spittin Pollaseeds", "Game Lord", "Doin What It 'Pose 2 Do", "Growing Up", "Steal The Show", "Stop Snitchin", & "Go To Church" are my favorite tracks...
