Xzibit or Ice Cube?

[TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96']

These two are kind of similar, both West Coast heavyweights.

Ice Cube of course has NWA on his resume and he has a classic song "Today Was A Good Day" ("Papparazi" is an underground classic but failed to make any mainstream impact), he also held a role in the East/West beef with "Bow Down" and "Westside Slaughterhouse" so objectively speaking—in terms of his legacy—Ice Cube is probably the clear favorite on this one.

Personally though, I have never been able to bump an Ice Cube solo album front to back.  I've usually liked his singles throughout his career but never dug deep into his albums.  X on the other hand has 3 albums that I can play through without skipping, and they are all damn near classic albums.  Even his fourth album when he started to fall off has a lot of bangers on it.  X is also the better rapper today, because Napalm was a far better comeback album than anything Ice Cube has put up in recent times.

So I will vote = Xzibit

Mr. X To da Z!!!!

Ice Cube.

In terms of his solo albums AMW is in my top 20 albums of all time. DC is in my top 10. Predator was a great album. Lethal Injection is a personal classic and I play that front to back. When it comes to group albums Straight Outta Compton was one of the first rap albums I ever heard and Bow Down is a top 10 album to me.

Restless was the first X album I really enjoyed fully even though I did buy ATSOL and 40D40N before that and thought they were good albums. MvsM and Weapons Of Mass Destruction were meh overall with some bangers on each of them and that was the last I checked for XtotheZ.

cube has the better legacy, but i like xzibit.....x used to be my favorite emcee back around the time this forum first started. still, cube got more classics, more integral in the rise of west coast hip-hop, and just has the better overall catalogue. but prime for prime, they're neck and neck and it's a tough call, but i prefer xzibit's style slightly over cube's.

You lost me at couldn't listen to an Ice Cube album all the way through, but to each its own.  Xzibit is dope but Ice Cube's first four solo albums shits on Xzibit's whole career.  And that's saying a lot because like I said, Xzibit is dope.

I think my sig says all, but even X said he would love to make a song with Ice Cube. I don't know why these two doesn't have a song together (Yeah I know Live from L.A.) but I mean like X having Cube on his own album or Cube having X on his own album. I like them both,they have similar flow, similar lyrics and they're both heavyweights. I just would love to see X and Cube on one song together. That would be dope.

It would have been perfect to do a song together on the XXX movie soundtrack; seeing that they shared the screen together. Or even a remix to the Outsmart the Po Po track. A personal favorite of mine.

I love both but i'm more of an X to da Z fan. Always loved his delivery.

[The_Offence]

i was more into X's music.

[TidyKris]

Cube...i never really liked Xzibit

[D-Nice]

Give me both, on tracks, on each others next albums.

[GangstaBoogy]

I wish Cube was on Napalm. Pretty much any song, the production was insane.

Xzibit is great, Cube is a rap god.

How is this vote even close?
