[compilation] ICE CUBE - "Another Lethal Injecition"

[claaa7]

i've been istening to a whole lot of Ice Cube lately, anything and Everything from the "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" album to the "Death Certificate# LP and to me they are all some of the finest hip-hop LP:s ever created. Cube has a fantastic flow and delivery, his voice is mindblowingly ill, he got a whole lot of mic presence and his lyrics are Always on Point. he rarely needs a guest to hold him down, holding down four and a half Classic albums in a row all by himself for for years is really spectacular - especially considering he worked with a lot of different prdoucers during this era. the new Cube has got some moments, "The War Disc" from '98 is pretty strong, wasn't crazy about "The Peace Disc" and tbh I haven't really checked much since (would you recommend me to do so?).

my #1 Cube album has to be "Death Certificate", it's just purely brilliant from all aspects but i also really dig how he worked with The Bomb Squad and the Chemistry they displayed on his debut. either way very good albums, so it wasn't that hard of a choice to go for Cube's non album material from 1990-1994 when making a new Lost Tapes compilation for my readers - being that I haven't updated for about two weeks. his discography from this era is also very thankful to work with, considering that the 12" singles he released from the albums more often than not are stacked with banging records that were left as B-sides... i collected all those B-sides and added some of my favorite cameos he did around that time and put together "Anothr Lethal Injection". 18 tracks of raw West Coast funk, with production by the usual suspects like DJ Pooh, Bobcat, Sir Jinx, Dr. Dre, LayLaw, even Erick Sermon and more. Don't sleep on this one!

My Summer Vacation is by far his best track ever made, and should be included (which it's not) on any Cube compilation......Cube was the first rapper I ever heard, and is still one of my top 5 performers today....his charisma on the mic during his first 4 albums is untouchable.

[claaa7]

good looking on that disc KATO, would you mind uploading it for us here?
i guess your copy of "Death Certificate" didn't include 'No Vaseline', shame, that's one of the best dis songs ever recorded for sure

[KATO]

^ No Vaseline is on my copy, I just think My Summer vacation is vastly overlooked....just the beat, the story, etc. It's so easy to see a visual picture:

BOOM, my homie got shot he's a goner black
St. Louis niggaz want they corner back
Shooting in snowy weather
It's illegal business, niggaz still can't stick together
Fuckin police got the four-one-one
that L.A. ain't all, surf and sun
But we ain't thinkin, bout the boys
Feudin, like the Hatfields and McCoys
Now the shit's gettin tricky
Cause now they lookin for the colors and the khakis
Damn, the spot's gettin hot from the battle
About to pack up and start slangin in Seattle
But the NARCs, raid about six in the morning
Try to catch a nigga while he's yawnin
Put his glock to my chest as I paused
Went to jail in my motherfuckin drawers
Tryin to give me, fifty-seven years
Face'll be full of those tattooed tears
It's the same old story and the same old nigga stuck
And the public defender ain't givin a fuck
The fool must be sparkin
Talkin about a double life plea bargain
You got to deal with the Crips and Bloods by hand G
Plus the Black Guerilla family
And the white pride don't like Northside
And it's a riot if any more niggaz die
No parole or probation
Now this is a young man's summer vacation
No chance for rehabilitation
Cause look at the motherfuckin years that I'm facin
I'ma end it like this cause you know what's up
My life is fucked



And sorry dude, that's just off the top of my head for what I'd make as a disc 2, I don't have a disc to upload :P

[hotnikks]

Major props for this Claa.

[hotnikks]

And you´re right

War disc>>>>>>Peace disc.

[KATO]

^ Personally the whole War & Peace concept was what turned Cube's flavour sour to a more mainstream concept in my opinion.....don't think there's any track on either album that stands out other than 'Hello'

[CharlesJones]

LOL@Kato hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. War and Peace albums sucked and the albums he did after that suck LOL. Lethal Injection was the last decent album he did. I love Really Doe, Cave Bitch and Down For Whatever songs on the album. I was listening to Steady Mobbin song today and I was laughing at the lyrics.



Life ain't nothing but money and fuck a bitch LOL. They drop like dominos and if you didn't know Ice Cube got drama hoes LOL. So after I finished screwing, I bust a nut and get up and put on my white Ewings LOL. I'm out the door. All you might get is a rubber on the floor LOL. I went to mom's house and dropped a load in the bathroom hahahahahahahahahaha. Jumped back in my low ride. Coming out feeling about 10 pounds lighter LOL. Went to Bone's house so I can get the gat. Looking for the place where all the hoes kick it at LOL. Lench Mob ain't nothing but tramps but hoes licking nuts like stamps LOL. One fool brought the music for the yamps but Ice Cube had more amps. Get in bitch LOL. Plus I had the jam on and I don't wanna hear shit about a tampon LOL. Gimme the nappy and make me happy LOL. The ho said papi can you slap me on the ass hard and fast? LOL. Can you please try not to leave a gash? I said yeah but I don't play sex without putting on the latex. Slipped on a condom. Fucked around and dropped a bomb son LOL. And it came out sorta like confetti hahahahahahahahahaha. In for the night, no longer steady mobbin.
