on first listen I'd rate BoD higher than Blaqkout but yeah its such a different animal

otoh oh look another phoned-in Ice Cube verse
yeah that cube verse was pretty weak gotta say
(your boy) KK brings it though and all jon b's hooks are nice too
― k3vin k., Friday, 2 December 2011 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah was disappointed in that Cube verse. Still bummed that AMG or Hi-C isnt on it.

I like the "You a genius" "No, you a genius" bit

Cube's (apparently entirely unironic) reuse of that green/bill bixby line is just sad.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 2 December 2011 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
LOVE LOVE LOVE BOTH OF THESE FOR ALL TIME DONT KNOW WHAT I WILL VOTE FOR YET THO

cube's entire presence is worth it for the exchange that he & quik have at the end

The only words I know on this album are the sample of the British dude enthusing about "West Coast America."

you know where that sample is from?
― Carnitas, Friday, 2 December 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
No -- I tried to look it up but couldn't find anything.

i've always assumed it was malcolm mclaren. if not dude sounds just like him.

I suspected McClaren but i tried in vain to find the source material

the only Cube verse I've even liked in recent years was his guest verse on Killer Mike's "Pressure" from like 3 years ago. Even that wasn't prime Cube quality but he was actually saying something for once.
I Am the West was straight ass though.

yeah he has been so so bad for years now, its sort of flabbergasting. he just does not give a shit.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 2 December 2011 22:14 (twelve years ago) link
also has no ear for beats anymore, which is why he raps over some extremely generic, nondescript music.
― if you ain't gonna wash it, i ain't gonna eat it, Friday, 2 December 2011 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
He probably only raps as an attempt to keep his street cred.
― Scotty Magee, Friday, 2 December 2011 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
dunno how well that's working out for him tbh
he obviously doesn't need the money
― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 2 December 2011 22:21 (twelve years ago) link
there's a small part of me that hopes his acting in movies like Are We There Yet? is a ruse to set up the final film in the series where he kills all of his kids and starts shooting up South Central and playing basketball with his victims heads

Embarrassing.

I kind of like the Bun B verse, but someone on here referred to it as "Dr Seuss rap" or something, which - I have to admit - is a funny line.
― o. nate, Monday, 5 December 2011 17:06 (twelve years ago) link
that was me ^_^

listened to both of them pretty recently gotta go with blaqkout just because it feels so infectiously playful and unpredictable, even if it's actually deceptively serious in the same way book of david is deceptively fun
