That’s what I thought.

Don't think so. Although the tracklist is blurred out on the vinyl, you can still make out some words/tracks. And they appear to be different. I am assuming the "It's My Ego" challenge song will be on this.
The shipping date for the CD is September 12. So might need to wait a week or two for this to drop.

didn't see it coming

No, makes sense Man Down = Man Up its a new Album
-
Wow, I'm shocked he's dropping a new album so soon. From what I understand, Ego was a pretty big hit single for him, so he's probably just motivated to keep the momentum going.
Nice to not have a 3-5 year break between Cube albums.
-
Revisited Man Down the other day and didn't really feel it as much anymore. I mean it's still decent and definitely his best since Raw Footage imo, had a couple of dope joints on there (Rollin' At Twilight, So Sensitive, She's Sanctified, Facts, Break The Mirror), but Cube just don't sound as hungry anymore (understandably so), sometimes almost lazy + his flow really gets repetitive.
-
No way this is a new album dropping in two weeks?
-
Following Man Down in quick succession, Cube is releasing another album..... Man Up
Love to get the conversation going
I can't find a release date or tracklist
He's touring his Truth To Power run throughout the States right now and plans to bring The Big 3 to Australia in November
Anyone know anything?
-
It's kind of interesting, with the last album we had the single well in advance and then he released a remix and another song before the album. So far, nothing in advance for this one. If it really is dropping next week, it's been a vastly different rollout. Not a complaint, just an observation.
Edit: I see now he is going to release the first single, "Before Hip Hop," on Friday.

Song title is promising. i'm not expecting a radio friendly single like "it's my ego".
-
Expect Kendrick to drop 'GNX 2' on the same day as 'Man Up' :P

New single tonight let's goooo

I dont why ice cube is not taking beats from Bud'da. I know that budda is always ready to drop bangers for him.
-
Before hip hop is produced by Halwayz Productions.
Classic early 2000s west coast joint. It could have been better.
This shit doesnt sell in 2025... it is not 2005... some producers and artists need to understand it.
-
I like the track and the beat is hard, hope the album has this sound throughout.

Yeah, i don't feel like Cube has picked the best beats for his last couple albums. Not sure what the missing element is, but Bud'da always came through for him. I think some faster songs like from his pre 96 days would do well too. Seems like a lot of his beats are slower "2000 Dre-ish" type beats with heavy beats and slow tempo. Get back to using more samples like Bomb Squad used to do for him.

Realy like this 1, more than my ego.
-
Dope record!
-
I like it. Nothing amazing, but it is good. I like it a lot better than It's My Ego.
-
Agreed. It's fine, but it's subject matter he's covered before. Decent album cut but doesn't seem like a strong single to me.
