After Listening about ten times loaded:

I think people will look back and feel this is def. one of Cubes better albums. Great album........IMO Damn near classic if it weren't for two songs("Steal the Show" and "Holla @ yo Boy"). 9 out of 10.

BUY THE ALBUM.......HE DESERVE HIS LOOT FOR THIS ONE.

2 1/2 out of 5.  This album is sub-par.  Although it IS better than his last 2 records, I am not impressed with this record.  The 2 tracks with Snoop are GARBAGE.  Cube used to rap about "the system" and "the man" yet, his livelyhood comes straight from those 2 things.  And finally, I don't want to hear a song about him smoking weed because I know he doesn't.  That is a fact.  And, cube ain't no gangster either.  Stick to movies Oshay!  You played yourself.

Yes sir! I listened to the whole album just a little bit ago, and Cube came w/ it!!!  

Only song I'm not feeling is "You Gotta Lotta That"...it seems out of place to me for some reason. I wonder if it would sound better on a Snoop solo CD. Also, Lil Jon's repetition of "you scared, you scared" on "Go To Church" could have been left off. Otherwise, I can't find anything truly bad to say about the lyrics/production...The title tune, "Why We Thugs," "Child Support," "Growing Up," "Click-Clack--Get Back!", "Steal The Show" "Stop Snitchin'," and "Spittin' Pollaseeds" are my favorites right now.  

When I think about my memories of both WAR and PEACE, and then think about what I just heard on LNCL, I can tell in retrospect that on WAR and PEACE, Cube was...well, he was there, but not there there, in a sense. On LNCL, he's clearly in command of what he's doing, and he sounds like he's really into the songs.

I know there are folks who will say: "it doesn't sound enough like AMW, DEATH CERTIFICATE, or (fill-in-your-own)..." But as Cube has said before, he "makes all of [his] albums different," and don't kid yourself: how many CDs out there can stand up to AMW or DC? Not too many.  

Think about this: if the whole CD were issues-oriented ("Why We Thugs", "The Nigga Trap", the title song, etc.), then the fans of his "step-to-me-I'll-fuck-you-up" side won't want to hear it. And, in turn, if Cube were to make a CD w/ every song a "step-to-to-me-I'll-fuck-you-up" type of song ("Click-Clack--Get Back!"), a certain % of fans will whine, "where's the 'conscious' lyrics, etc?" IMHO, Cube's been around so long that, in a way, he's damned if he does, but he's also damned if he doesn't in terms of making this-or-that kind of song(s). Then, of course, you have those who use his movies as an excuse (and a feeble excuse, IMHO) to criticize. You're just not going to please everybody.   

Anyway, I'd give LNCL a 4 out of 5...I'll definitely buy it. If Cube plans to keep making new solo CDs, hopefully LNCL can serve as a good "new beginning" for Cube CD-wise...of course, that'll depend on what happens w/ the movie thing. Let's hope that Cube's figured out that his CDs sound better when he's not trying to record them and make movies at the same time. Just my opinion, though, and everyone's entitled to their's as well. PEACE!
