Ice Cube is definitely one of the best outta the west of all time, but these two albums were kinda sorry to me...J5 was cool before they tried to blow up, and i never really did feel their "let's brinG it back to the old school posse chorus sinGin" shit...and Black Eyed Peas are a fuckin joke, i mean what are they tryin to do with their music? Make it as soft and as sorry as possible?

I know the War & Peace series was kinda not there but at those times what did LA have? Besides Xzibit and Rass commin out with tight albums at the time War & Peace came out, there really wasn't anything, but Cube's War & Peace series supplementing them!

I just thought J5 had some real original shit that's all! I mean the old school chorus and all that, I thought was cool.

The Black Eyed Peas had an awesome first and half of a second album. Their music before Justin Timberlake and the pop circuit was just bangin, they were mad political and hard in their own way. But it was their choice to go radio friendly with weak ass lyrics.

I also should have mentioned Dialated Peoples, but then again they ain't from LA and they just confuse me even more than BEP.

i'd say Dilated is probably some of the most basic rap hip hop you'll ever hear in your life, i dont see it GettinG any simpler

1. Like I said about "All Eyez On Me". It's more fo a whole West Side thing then just a SoCal or NoCal thing.

2. How the fucc can I forget about "Bow Down" ? Props to whoever the dude was that first mentioned this.

I feel ya...WAR and PEACE both had some dope, vintage Cube moments, but there were also songs on both of those where I listened, and I was thinking, "Come ON, Cube! You can do better than THIS!" ("Limos, Demos and Bimbos?!?" LMFAO!)

I have an idea: if you took only the best songs from WAR and the best songs from PEACE and left out the mediocre-to-wack shit, you'd have another Cube classic. Here's my suggestions:

From WAR: "Ask About Me" (nice as intros go), "Dr. Frankenstein", "Fuck Dying" (but add one more verse with at least twenty bars), "Ghetto Vet", "Greed" (with the drum track toughened up), "Once Upon A Time In The Projects 2", "Extradition", and "3 Strikes You In."

From PEACE: "Hello", "You Ain't Got To Lie", "The Gutter Shit", "Supreme Hustle", "You Can Do It" (pretty good as dance songs go), "Record Company Pimpin'", "Roll All Day", "Nigga Of The Century."

What do you think? PEACE!
