Lets talk about Ice Cube's "Laugh Now Cry Later" album

[Bonefan32]

Havent listened to it in awhile but I remember liking it a lot
when it first dropped I had a lot of the tracks on repeat especially Chrome & Paint

 

[pimpc]

Solid underrated album still have a few tracks on the ipod. Growin up and the title track

 

[Taadow]

"If you gotta backpack tryna act black, think you know the culture,
youza fukkin vulture, you neva approach the mic, you dress like
a dike sayin whatcha don't like, who deserve 5 mics who
deserves two, but the nikka with 2 still could serve you"

This West Coast flow is different from the East...
...but it ain't no different in the streets

 

[Free White & 21]

I actually bought this album when it came out. It was crackrocks. Def had filler but i enjoyed it much more than his Don Mega phase.

Early Cube is still GOAT idgaf what anybody says!

nikkas just gon act like Pushin Rhymes like weight wasn't that deal



My nikka switched the flow up and was goin in

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

Some of yall are sleeping on the album after Laugh Now, Cry Later...Raw Footage...that one was also dope. Its hard for me to pick which one i like better really

 

[Turbulent]

Raw Footage was actually better IMO.

I wont front I did like this song but that album

 

[kingdizzy01]

cube still has fans?

 

[Blackout]

That album is great but raw footage isn't something to ignore either.

Ice cube went hard on Raw Footage as well.

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

I really liked it when it came out then honestly, completely forgot about it. Album hasn't crossed my mind in years until I read the thread title.

 

[Turbulent]

I've said it before and i'll say it again:

the difference between Cube/Killer Mike/Pac/Scarface/DMX type dudes and other rappers is that they use skills as a tool to express their views and feelings while a lot of other rappers use their views and feelings as a tool to display skills. In other words, the focus of the song for most rappers is more "I got skills" and that's why you don't feel it as much. the type of rappers i mentioned actually evoke feeling with their music (which in my opinion is actually more impressive than the skills themselves)

EDIT: but if a rapper has the perfect balance between both

 

[Shammago]

How come nobody talks about Raw Footage. Def his best recent album in my opinion

 

[Turbulent]

Cube with an album produced by Kanye and Salaam Remi would be if they come with RAW beats.
