fans that supported him were also hash-tagging things like #blexit yesterday.
He claims the Republicans updated their platform whereas Democrats asked to wait until after the election.
hmm, wonder why the Democrats might be preoccupied with the election right now whereas the Trump admin is interested in blindly promising to do things it has no interest in actually doing.

which isn't to say that Democrats haven't failed the Black community, but the narrative being spun by fans yesterday is "one side listened, one side brushed him aside".
this is a weird move by a dude who (quite badly) rapped "Arrest the President" two years ago. he's right that both parties have failed the Black community, yes, but it's a bit weird to approach a party you yourself admitted was downright criminal in 2018 and to report back that this party is cooperating with you, insinuating some level of trust.

I have been quoting verses from "True to the Game" at my one Ice Cube-loving friend (he and I are 40% of the white people who saw him play The Apollo in 1991) who was trying to stan for him and he finally came back with, "Brian with the win for the "True to the Game" callback!!!!!!" so yeah, I think I win. It's fun using Cube's own verses against him.

i have the temptation to check out those war and peace albums. was listening to natural born killers recently and while its plain ridiculous, its a lot of fun, and high entertainment (the beat is also brilliant). also heard that verse he did on lil jons crunk juice, which is even more OTT. maybe pantomime cube is due for a reappraisal.

After Lethal Injection (which only has a few cuts I still listen to), "Ghetto Vet" is probably the only cut that I'd play again. I find the production on his "later" records disappointing compared to the earlier stuff, but "Ghetto Vet" is pretty damm good.

The Predator isn't his best, but it's the one I always have a soft spot for since the summer in high school when I went to a week long architectural camp at Ball State, for which I remembered to pack my Walkman but somehow no tapes. There was a tiny rack of cassettes in a little student book shop and I picked this one up to get me through the week.

can't believe the guy who was so racist that the UK straight-up left songs off his album in 1991 said dumb racist stuff in 2020, a solid two decades after he last made a good record

LOL
Re: The Predator, like Lethal Injection there's only a few cuts that I really like, but one of them is "It Was a Good Day" and I fucking love it, both the album version and the single remix that samples the Staple Singers - both are great and they may very well be my favorite recordings from Ice Cube.

His debut AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, the Kill at Will EP, the UK version of Death Certificate (I have no use for the shit they took off) are great - I still have them. The other stuff I mentioned I usually listen to via compilations.
