Title: RUMOR: JAY-Z feat. ICE CUBE
Post by: Lincoln on August 23, 2003, 09:22:06 AM
Jay-Z is droppin his "Black Album" soon. We all know, that Dre is goin to produce 1 track. There're rumors, that this track will feature the Don Mega Ice Cube.
Source: http://www.aftermathmusic.com/

i dont know about y'all but i'm not too hyped about this. Ice Cube & Jay-Z both fell off HARD and Dre's not exactly been that great on beats lately. However, maybe the 3 of them being together will push them too each use their talents to the fullest. This track DOES have the potential to be amazing.

Three legends, no doubt, but the idea of this track doesn't excite me much.

To be honest the thought of Cube on a Jay-Z track doesn't convince me that "The Black Album" will be the "Reasonable Doubt"-style banger I hoped for. Still, gotta give the man a chance to bow out with another classic. Time will tell...

I've never been a fan of Jigga, so frankly I don't really care...but if it happens, it will be a good song I think.

Cube fell off worse than Kurupt & Xzibit. Cube was probably the best rapper from 88-92. The only new Westside Connection songs are Holidaze & Lightz Out. Holidaze was wack as hell & Lightz Out was dope but Cubes verse was nothing compared to his old shit (Still liked it tho)

no one fell off worse than kurupt, i mean ice cube aint as consistant as he use to be..............his doin alot of other things to but kurupt aint got no excuses............i feel bad for the nigga hearin his verses, its like his tryna klown himself

speakin of the topic though................sounds dope dre cube n jigga gettin together, dres gone produce heat imo...............though i admit he aint been on top of his game lately.........but his still sick........................i mean when he comes tight, its amazing work...........the "in the club" beat is simply off the hook.................it might be simple, but the thing is, the more u hear it, the more u appreciate it, shit bangs...........

im lookin forward to a jay-z album for the first time in years.......hopefully shits gonna be real, thats all i want

I know Cube's not like he used to be but that's cuz he was totally unfuckwitable back then.. calling him worse than Kurupt is still a pure insult, Kurupt is lucky to have some rhymin words in his verses without repeating the word now days

what i'm saying is compare Kurupt in the past to Kurupt of the present. Then compare Cube of the past to Cube of the present. Kurupt never dropped songs like Cube. Cube has dropped more significantly from the past than Kurupt has

as an artist it's true but Kurupt had Cube's skill in his prime.. Puffin On Bluntz, Stranded On Death Row etc is just crazy

Kurupt was far from Cube's skills. Kurupt could not have written The Nigga You Love To Hate, The Bomb, Look Who's Burning, Man's Best Friend, I Wanna Kill Sam etc.....Kurupt was crazy in the days but nothing compared to Cube

he was different and very disappointing on solo shit.. I can't tell for sure since he didn't write any political stuff or anything with more meaning than gangsta shit in his prime on Chronic / Doggystyle but to me Puffin On Bluntz even though it doesn't have much of a message or shit is on the level of Cube's best verses

 :o i love that verse too but it cant fuck with Cube's best verses. Sorry i sincerely have to disagree
Title: Re:RUMOR: JAY-Z feat. ICE CUBE
Post by: D.R.E.-Dogg on August 24, 2003, 06:02:48 AM
well so we disagree on that.. my point was just that Kurupt was dope as fuck and now days he's a complete joke

Cube was dope as fuck and is still dope even though he was been way doper so I don't see him fallin off worse than Kurupt

as for the topic.. sounds interesting Cube on a Dre beat again.. I'm not sure about Jigga but it will probably turn out pretty damn dope

i thought holidayz was tight as fuck, what about connected 4 life? and songs on wc album with cube? comon man you cant be serious, cube is tight as fuck, just cause he didnt really release anything lately doesnt mean he fell off
i like his new shit better than 88-92 shit btw, i just don't feel those old ass beats

thats why i cant wait for Cube album on aftermath, remember dre + cube - Natural born killaz? that shit was tight

i think this track could be dope...eastcoast/westcoast collabo's can be dope...i bet it'll be a good track but like someone said earlier...not the reasonable doubt style jay is supposedly going for.
