---He started out with NWA, and a lot of Cali peeps were saying he fell off when he left NWA and hooked up with the Bomb Squad cuz he didnt have thhat Cali sound anymore.
---Then, when he ditched that sound and style, he went westcoast g-funk style somewhat with PRedator and especially with Lethal Injection, and hiphop fans were pissed except for westcoast fans and pop fans. (By the way, this was my favourite CUbe).
---Then he switches it up again, and starts throwin up dubs and dissin the east coast (who helped make arguably his best album) with Westside COnnection, alienating more original fans while garnering more and more of tre younger generation who were fixated with Pac and repping the westside.
---Since WSCG album, cube as not really had a huge impact on the game at all. I really think thhe new Westside album will be dope, but at the same time it is not entirely the Cube i want. TO me, he is like SNoop, he shows signs of still having it, and one day he will drop an incredible album and then call it quits. He has been successful for a long time despite 'falling off" according to many people. I think he needs to get the flow a little more on point (like Chin Check), concentrate on the lyrics, and most importantly believe in wat he is saying. Because Cube is much betterwhen he is rapping about a wortwhile subject or topic.............Hopefully, if CUbe ever drops his Aftermath album then ha can put it altogether one last time.......peace

War was his finest album.

I have never heard ANYONE say War was his best, let alone a great album. But that is kind of my point, Cube has managed to stay relevant cuz e has or has had fans from all generations of hiphop at one time or another. If you started listening to Cube at War, you might feel that is his best work........regardless, Cube still has a Classic album in him in my opinion, and i do not throw the term around losely
-
I've heard all of Cubes cds and I have to say that Bootlegs and B-sides and War are my favorites.
No disrespect to the other albums but they just didn't do it for me.
EDIT: wow negative karma point for stating an opinion. ::)

-
there isnt anything about the old ones that bores me...i thought they were all great albums...but i feel that westside connection was his best...then war & peace vol. 1 & 2...then the predator
-
i like Lethal Injection the most

Couldnt agree more!
Even tho Cube is still better than 90% if other MC's, I know the potential he has to be even better.....Hopefully the next album will be the bomb on Aftermath!

Nothing can compete with Cube's first two solo albums (and the EP "Kill At Will"). He was like the G.O.A.T. then. After he started to change his subject matter a bit and used other producers than the Boogie Men/Bomb Squad he kinda lost his golden touch but he's still dope. I'd really want to hear the old Cube over a Sir Jinx beat again though.

Cube fell off a lot with Westside Connection. Thats a dope album 4.5/5, but that's not too much because of Cube. Mack 10 & WC stepped their games up and the 3 of them complemented each other perfectly. Compare the verses on WSC & anything past that to his first 3 albums.......
-
i really like his lyrics and flow on his first 3 albums.
but the beats just didnt do it for me
war was my fav too. followed by predator
peace
-
Hmm dont think he has fallen off really...
...yes his first 3 albums were the best..but in comparison to some of the shit that gets put out today he aint gone yet...
...his next album will bring him back to the forefront..but cube's never been a "famous" rapper, what i mean by that is he never will go for status like eminem, 50 etc - his music back in the early 80's was and is argueably some of the best hiphop around...
...predator and amerikka are my favourite albums but i got n love em all....
...but sometimes great things must come to an end...dont think this is his time tho...public enemy were the shit! no one could touch them, governments were scared of them, political bills were being altered because of them...
as they said...dont believe the hype ;)

^^^ sorry i gotta disagree. i dont think his new album will be very good, after all he's on Aftermath. No disrespect to Dre but look how much both Eminem & 50 Cent changed after they signed with him, they both got really watered down.

How did Eminem get "watered down".. ??
By getting better beats, improving his lyrical content, and multiplying his flow.. ??
I dunno why peeps is hating this much on Em.. I don't want him to go back to rapping about raping moms & grandmas and what worse is.

i never heard him rap about raping his mom until he signed with Dre. Em rapped in a dope underground style but when he hooked up with Dre he started doing mainstream songs & rapping about wack shit like dropping acid & raping his mom.

the war disc is just a "hardcore image" cd.....and the peace disc doesnt sound like a westcoast cd...........

Teecee, for the billionth time, comes correct.
-
In regards to Cube, my personal favourite is Lethal Injection and Death Certificate. Powerful music.

but the difference between cube and em etc is that cube is a status in himself...he doesnt need anyone else to make him sound good (well you know what i mean...big name dre attached to his album to sell more...i say go back to sir jinx and pooh if it were possible.)
But anyway cube had his differences with someone trying to do something he didnt like to his music (yeah and money-business) and he split...
...the scary thing for me would be if cube just put out a weak album..we all agree he is better with fire in his belly..and the question is has he got that anymore...he doesnt need rage / anger to have fire...just a desire to be on top of the game that he can be...
...but then again ya gotta ask, his film company etc etc going so well...he doesn't have to put another albu out really..so he has to want it...and want it to be good...
im an optimist ;D and i dont think cube will disappoint on this one with lack of quality.
