I'd just rather Cube and Short keep the album and influences on it mainly westcoast. ^Exactly

cube jus jumpin on wats popular to sell when he dont need to do that
Why? Grand Finale is a dope track and Real Nigga Roll Call is the motherfucking shit! I'm looking forward to this
Listen to "Bitches Aint Shit" with Snoop, Nate and Suga Free then come back to the thread morons.
LOL you beat me to it. exactly what I was thinkin. Look, honestly, I'm not a Lil Jon fan at all. but after listening to "Bitches Ain't Shit", I was very impressed.1) Impressed that he even shows the West love in the first place.2) Impressed that he was able to work outside of his chosen Crunk style, and compose of a beat rather that would fit the styles of the guests he had featured on that track.It takes a damn good producer to step out of his comfort style and really tend to the need of the main featured artist. I don't see these colabs as a bad thing, becuase I think Lil Jon can do this. even though I don't like his music, he has my respect as a producer. and honestly guys, do you think he's gonna give two west coast heavy weights 7 crunks beats apiece? I remember a rather semi great producer named DJ QUIK doing a beat for Jay Z. quik didn't shove his style down his throat, rather he custom made a beat that would fit Jays style the most. that's greatness.
Production line up for Cube so far: Lil Jon, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, The NeptunesCube sounded good over the "Grand Finale" beat but 7 songs by Lil Jon is pushing it a bit. Maybe they recorded 7 songs but only 1 or 2 will end up on the final album?
I rather see 3 producers on 1 album than 14 producers on 1 album.
damnit i hate this era
