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 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!
