For people who appreciate old school hip hop remember back in the day when Ice Cube was one of the top underground hip hop artist in the game? Mostly all old schoolers would refer to probably his best work in 'Amerikka's Most Wanted' and probably his second best work in "Death Certificate'
Like many who appreciate old school hip hop, we appreciated Ice Cube's lyrical genius probably up until his first 'War & Peace' album. Even though 'The Predator' and 'Lethal Injection' were released way before those two albums were good BUT just didn't reach the level of the first two albums. I was willing to give him hope after those two albums but when he released 'War & Peace' that was probably the final death kneal of Ice Cube as a hard core rapper.
Then I heard Cube was releasing another album this summer and some tracks from it has already surfaced. Like many, I was thinking like, 'GREAT! More garbage by a washed up rapper'. But after listening to two cuts I started to hear small sounds of the 'Amerikkka's Most Wanted' and 'Death Certificate' Ice Cube. Most of you have probably already heard the 'Race Card' track he did because it's for the show 'Black and White' that he's producing on FX. Now at first I thought it was ok BUT after listening to it for a while I started to dig it. I found another track called 'Why we Thugs' and started to dig it even more.
Give it a listen and ask yourself: Is the old Cube comming back?
