Props but I downloaded it and there was no volume. I've had this problem before with this track.

Works fine for me. I can't remember who used this same beat before. What the fuck is up with Fredwreck sellin' same beats over and over again.

^Tha Eastsidaz, props for the song.

Yeah, i was thinkin about Eastsidaz, wasn't sho' though. I don't know why Fredwreck sold/gave the same beat to Cube.

I like the beat but the song is alright.

Alright. Shit works for me when I use ITunes. This track is dope. What an idiot to leave this off RF. Somebody should fix the tracklist on this bitch.

I think it because the beat was never used on a retail album. So he sold it to Cube. It happens. BTW beat is :o Fred got skilz, always been one of my favorite producers

damn thanks a lot for this track homie
anyone know what happened to the other song that was supposed to be on Raw Footage? it was called "Raised In The Hood"
1. “It Takes a Nation”
Produced by Emile
This first track opens and suddenly Cube’s authoritative voice makes the listener come to an abrupt halt. Before the bass line even drops he shouts, “There are seven known wonders of the world, you are about to witness the eighth mafucka!” You can already sense that the rest of this album is going to be a revival for anyone that thought gangsta rap wasn’t being done anymore.
2. “Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It”
Produced by Maestro
“So young, so angry, damn that rap music!” the raspy voice of an elderly man says before the beat drops. Ice Cube is clearly mocking what the media says about gangsta rap. He says, “If I call you a nigga ain’t nothing to it / Gangsta rap made me do it.” This is the echoing theme throughout the track, from slaying crack to shooting up colleges; it can only be justified by the impact of the genre.
3. “Tomorrow”
Produced by Warren “Baby Dub” Campbell
The saying “Carpe Diem” can be used to sum up this track. Cube says, “Don’t you worry about tomorrow, live for today.” Procrastinators beware, Cube is putting everybody in their place. A woman that sounds like a generic backup singer sings the one-lined monotonous hook about four times before any of the other verses begin.
4. “Do Your Thang”
Produced by Palumbo Beats
The track sounds like the perfect backdrop of a crip-walker. It’s something to easily throw up gang signs and carve Cs into the floor. Contrary to what it sounds like, the lyrics are telling you to do the complete opposite despite the typical reaction any gangster in California may have after just hearing the beat.
5. “Raised in the Hood”
Produced By Warren “Baby Dub” Campbell
Cube takes it back to the hood for a second talking about all of the things he used to do and how much of a great time he had doing it. The hook sounds like some high-pitched chicken heads repeatedly saying, “We know.”
6. “Hood Mentality”
Produced by Teak “Da Beatsmith” Underdue and Dee Underdue
The preaching is heavy on this track. The first verse might appear that Cube is glorifying hood mentality by saying things like “Fuck school… love to see my momma cry.” But he’s actually mimicking what all the “gangstas” say.
7. “Why Me” featuring Musiq Soulchild
Produced by Teak “Da Beatsmith” Underdue and Dee Underdue
Still rocking with a Cali beat, Cube brings in Musiq Soulchild to bring some soul to the track. The crooner’s vocals add insightfulness. Cube talks about the pettiness of murder and he touches on how people are getting killed and don’t know the reason why.
8. “Cold Places”
Produced By Teak “Da Beatsmith” Underdue and Dee Underdue
The heavy sirens and chimes of a clock tower add eeriness to the record. Cube has no mercy for what’s been done in recent years in the black community. He says, “Watching [Hurricane] Katrina is worse than Ike and Tina / Seen New Orleans get bitch slapped by FEMA.”
9. “Stand Tall”
Produced DJ Crazy Toones and David “Dizmix” Lopez
The beat is reminiscent of a classic Marvin Gaye empowerment song. It has more of a smooth head bop, which was precisely chosen because Cube speaks of hope. Although some may want to hear a song about dope.
10. “Concrete”
Produced by Fred Wreck
Cube samples the 1981 smash “Heartbeat” by Taana Gardner. He turns the notorious uptempo love song into a song about the hood. The vocals for the hook even mimic how Ms. Gardner turned the words into a staccato.
11. “Thank God”
Produced by Teak “Da Beatsmith” Underdue and Dee Underdue
Interlude produced by David “Dizmix” Lopez
The intro sounds like it was recorded on the stage of a concert. Before Cube even speaks there’s noise pollution of a crowd applauding and whistling in a very large arena. As he talks about how gangsta rap is blamed for all tragedies, you hear people from his entourage co-signing.
12. “Gangsta Rap (Remix)” featuring Nas and Scarface
Produced by Maestro
Originally, track 12 on the album was a joint called “Believe It or Not,” produced by Emile. Then suddenly we were told to cross that off and then the remix to the current single began to play. Nas and Scarface both give their take on the “deadliness” of gangsta rap.

Props for this track Okka. First it was possibly supposed to be on LNCL then Fred's album The Atoms, then Raw Footage. This song fits more on LNCL but good to hear it either way.
-
propz for the track - hope more unreleased Cube track will leaked...
-

Dope song though! But no bass..

lol exactly what I was thinking. Got My Locs on almost ruined the album for me cause he has a great intro about his pyroclastic flow, and then it goes right into a weak song.
-
tight track. if u in the LA area go check em out at the dub show IMO best rapper of all time at least top 5
-
bump, this should have been on Raw footage

woah, surprised you left Get Used To It out of that. that was one of my favourite tracks on the album
-

I think it would have been a bad look since Tha Eastsidaz already had a song over this beat 4 years before, even though the song was only bootlegged
Good song though! Glad it was released somehow

Nah I thought the track was rather mediocre. I expected more. Dub ripped it though.

Cool song!

shame there was no high quality leak on the ice cube version? easily the best vocals over that super funky fredwreck beat 8)
