I definately thought this was going to better. I only dug a couple of songs. None of the ones with those south type beats at all. "No Country For Young Men" is fire & probably my favorite on the album.

Not really feeling this album. Mostly because of the production.

After hearing the album title I thought he is gonna have classic westcoast production. Was disappointed.

UPDATE: "I Am The West" features a Sir Jinx/Ice Cube reunion, as well as production from Bangladesh and Cube's son, OMG.

Due on September 28, Ice Cube's I Am The West will be the ninth studio solo album from the N.W.A. lyricist. Released on Cube's own Lench Mob Recordings imprint, the controversially titled album is believed to contain 16 tracks, with appearances from longtime collaborator WC, and San Diego, California's Jayo Felony. Additionally, Young Maylay will appear, who's previously worked with Blaq Poet, MC Eiht and DJ Premier.

I Am The West is said to assert Cube and his peers' place in west coast history, which has been commonly forgotten by artists and media frequently using the term "new west." The album features a song, "No Country For Old Men," sharing its name with an editorial written on HipHopDX about Cube's self-affirmation. The album is the rapper-turned-actor's first since 2008's Raw Footage.

Don't sound like 2 to me, mayne.

Just saying, if he's trying to go for an ALL west album, wouldn't it be common sense to go all the way with some west production on all the tracks?
