Ice Cube: S/D

You Can Do It is one of the very few rap singles that is actually improved by the censorship. "I can do it put your *spank!* into it! I can do it put your *Uhh* into it!".

haha i wish i could have seen that naughty set!

Just when I think the internet has done more harm than good...

that's true

but the lyrics are better

nice

so i guess he added new songs to Death Certificate 25th anniversary and put them at the BEGINNING?

doing dumb shit

Did you know the new white was orange?!

piercing

100% endorse this, it means you can play the album as intended / don’t have a bunch of castoffs ruining the climax of No Vaseline

like, the 12th anniversary remaster tacks jaunty nigh-comedy bouncer How To Survive In South Central onto the end

a bunch of castoffs

idgi wtf are those tracks? they sure aren't DC outtakes from the sound of them

oh right, I was assuming they were songs too bad to include the first time around, but they're new songs from 2017. This one was a "single" from the reissue:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSKRLZSzCXA

decided to listen to "Arrest the President" to see if he was more inspired on Everythang's Corrupt now that Trump is here. some reviews said it was a 'return to form'. nope.

Ugh. this is BAD. the beat is terrible, like something a kid in 2006 made after watching Peter Gunn. I just remember how fired up he used to sound on his most passionate pieces on his old albums, but he sounds like he's checking his FB feed while he raps. I used

Not only is his flow lazy, but thematically, this song is all over the place, loosely connected gripes with no focus, no quotables. The song is called Arrest the President, but DJT is barely referenced in the song.

"Close your fuckin' eyes like it's day care".
"they treat it like a trap house/these motherfuckers never take the trash out"
"Homie you play too much/these devils say too much"

God this is bad.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
Death Certificate
The Predator
Lethal Injection

These are all total classics. I listen to The Predator more often because musically it's his best record, just exploding out of the speakers, though I think Death Certificate is his best album lyrically.

He lost me with the War & Peace records that were just too disjointed and not as much fun, but he lost me before that. I remember the single before that came out, "We Be Clubbin'" from some soundtrack, a really good friend of mine - he and I made up 40% of the white people to see Ice Cube play the Apollo when he had an off-day from Lollapalooza (almost identical sets but the Apollo show was longer and he smiled a lot more at Lolla) - he told me how bummed he was.

"He's not even talking about clubbing white people," he sighed. "It's about dancing."

Yea the Peace disc is the only one of War and Peace i heard. Hated it. He'd given up by then.

Laugh Now, Cry Later's only redeeming quality was my mother coming in while the chorus "You want child support? GET IT OUT MY ASS, BITCH!" overvand over and her bursting into laughter

it's definitely a classic

Lethal Injection is the falloff imo, hits the one-note aggressive lyrics and swingless, dry beats of his later albums right out of the gate, just without being as bad as them. Bop Gun is OK but it's at the level of like a thrown-together new single on a best-of, not an album standout from the guy who'd been the best songwriter in the world for a few years recently.

At the time I hated LJ and The Westside Connection stuff but now I like those albums

I mean LI

His Twitter account has become quite something over the last few days, at least since he, inadvertently from what I can tell, posted a Qan0n referencing image and attracted some folks to his account he probably didn't want.

being discussed here Is this anti-semitism? for obvious reasons

Shit, thanks, should have searched over there more.

He posted multiple Q tweets

Oh did he? I just saw one from like Sunday, hadn't seen anything else until I saw someone else retweet one of the anti-semitic ones earlier this afternoon.

Ice Cube? More like Nice Cube! pic.twitter.com/bjb4REnPHY

I never have dinner with the President
I never have dinner with the President
I never have dinner with the President
And when I see your ass again, I'll be hesitant

Well played, Al.

He's still opposed to the president.

i mean yeah but why bother with this shit anyway

xp Not according to his recent tweets. He just says he hasn’t “endorsed anybody.” And he had no problem with Trump using his name to promote his “plan.”

listen still an all time rapper

but he was posting tons of Q shit earlier this summer

and not to even mention his history of antisemitism and racism

there's no reason to give him the benefit of the doubt

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.

ums otm, did we all already forget that three day tweet storm with all the anti-semitic imagery and symbolism?

it's not a long walk from the 5 Percent Nation to Q

Ice Q

wonder if anyone else remembers when Blacks were too fucken broke to be republican.

no longer steady mobbin', i presume.
