Agree or disagree?

Ice Cube's run from when NWA first formed to about the time the first westside connection album dropped (Yes I know a year over our breaking point) is one of the best in hip hop? Very few put out the kind of body of work over 8 years.

Cube's one of the, if not the, most underappreciated rapper of all time. His early albums are all hiphop classics imo. So yeha, I agree with you.

he was the GOAT in this period to me... KRS and Rakim right behind, but for this period Cube was #1. AMW through to LI was just

Yes, all of his early material is classic. I was listening to Lethan Injection the other day actually.

Impact album after impact album came from Cube then. Really its hard to argue with his run. EPMD comes close but that was 3 albums.

I agree...I think Cube's run is prolly the best in hip hop history...it's a close call but Cube had a truely excellent run. Everything from N.W.A & the Posse to Bow Down is ....even his guest apperances are fire, like Burn Hollywood Burn, Last Wordz, Hand of the Dead Body, Natural Born Killers, Two to the Head...just SICK!!

I definitely agree. Even a good number of the projects he co-signed on were good in that era.

No.

But Ice Cube's run from '89~'94 is prolly the best ever

I remember when Cube left N.W.A
I was pissed. I couldn't believe he left what was to me the best rap group ever made (outside Run DMC)

But Death Certificate...wow. That was THE BEST hiphop album I ever purchased

I can still listen to it now from front to back

Cube's one of my favorite emcees, of all-time. Death Certificate stays in heavy rotation. A lot of people overlook Cube, when discussin that era, but dude was one of the best, back then. He's got a nice amount of classic albums.

No doubt, in that.

HHmmm, I gotta disagree a little, lemme see how bad my east coast bias gets me roasted...lol...but IMHO...I would say 88-92 was one of the best ever easily. 93-96 was some classic singles and way to much bullsh!t. From 88-92 he was part of 3 of the greatest albums of all time and the pinnacle of hardcore hip hop. Lethal Injection comes out and he has QDIII making low budget Dre beats. He steals Kams W and turns it into a toyfest. (anyone who throws up the W is a lop) Gets served by Cypress Hill and destroyed by Common. He turned into a clown.

I say NO. The best don't imitate, lose battles and start wack trends.


again, all IMHO, no disrespect intended.

Oh yea, but I def agree that Cube is one of the most slept on.
