Title: Ice cube - Laugh now cry later ( 2 years later)
Post by: MontrealCity's Most on July 29, 2008, 12:02:25 AM
Ive been bumping this record for a few days now. Ya i know its 2 years old but i wanted to start this thread because i wasent a big fan of this record when it came out.

But now im starting to dig a lot of songs on it even the lil jon ones. Go to church is fucking hard!!!

I was looking foward to the new one more or less. I think its on now tho, dude will deliver something good. Maybe not epic like he used to but something with some thought and awareness. Thats when hes at his bestimo. When hes doing shit like " doing what it pose to do" and "crome and paint" thats where he falls off.

yeah child support realy grew on me as well, the beat is hard the lyrics are dope and his flow sounds angry , meaningfull and with a purpose.

I hope his records has more songs like this and less about paint and bitches.

It's a personnal classic. It's simple, I love all songs. And it's the only album released in 2006 wich I loved like that.

I'm probably the only one who isn't a big fan of this album. It has nice individual songs, but there are also songs on it that I don't like... and IMO it doesn't have an album feel to it, but what do you expect if you work with 15 different producers.

good album but Cube should've left out 4 or 5 songs. You gotta lotta that  Holla @ cha boy  and The Game Lord are terrible. On the other hand there are sure some bangers.

I loved the album when it dropped then didnt listen to it for a while and recently rediscovered it, the album is dope as hell. Go To Church is one of my fav records on there, when you see Cube and Dub performing it live it blows you away. Beat is knocking.

I also heard most of Raw Footage the other day and it sounded nice, unfortunately I heard it on laptop speakers but I could tell that the beats would bang in a system. The song with Musiq Soulchild stood out to me, the song with jeezy wasnt bad, southern production, hook went somethin like "Got my locs on" cant remember the rest. The tracks that Hallway Productions did were the dopest to me.

Yeah I loved the record back then. I love the "Laugh Now, Cry Later" joint. Amazing beat and Cube spitting hella dope verses  8) Think I have to put the album back into my system before his new record drops

I thought it was probably his weakest album, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. One song that grew on me alot on that album is Click Clack Get Back.

I've been listening to this album quite a bit lately too. It's got 2 or 3 sub-par tracks on there, but overall it's a banger without a fuckin' doubt. Hard lyrics over hard beats - a winning combination, simple as that.

Go To Church is one of my fav records on there, when you see Cube and Dub performing it live it blows you away. Beat is knocking.

Having witnessed that just a week ago, I can vouch for that. And Why We Thugs, Smoke Some Weed - ooh wee!

Dope album. A few of the tracks took time to grow on me, mainly because of the production ("Stop Snitchin'," "Go To Church" and "You Gotta Lotta That"), but it was a great comeback for Cube overall. I still bump it a lot today. The title track, "Why We Thugs,"  "Child Support," "Spittin' Pollaseeds," "Growin' Up" and "The Nigga Trapp" are particular favorites of mine.

PEACE!

No doubt. Just being honest. Comparing it to the rest of his albums it is his weakest. But me personally I enjoyed it, if that makes any sense.

It's alright and it's got replay value, which is something you can't say about a lot of albums coming out
