Did anyone else love Ice Cube's Bootlegs & B-Sides album?

This is one of those projects that I always felt mad people slept on.

On some real sh*t, this is still Cube in his prime, so I never understood why this didn't get more love.

The "Lil Ass Gee" remix was something special. Crazy beat! N.O. Joe should've done way more work with Cube. That was a perfect collabo.

I've never heard a bad N.O. Joe beat. He shoulda been used way more.

Same!

Dude was/is criminally slept on, and has a million classics!
Rap-A-Lot had so much talent, man, and 90% of hiphop fans don't even know it exists. I give credit to J-Prince for platforming so much dope shyt, but it's also fukked up he kept them local and in slave deals. Like, go listen to 5th Ward Boyz albums, or The Odd Squad, Convicts album, DMG, Seagram, Big Mello, etc etc etc. Those artists are NEVER discussed and they have gems on gems. It's dope that Mike Dean at least got a chance to shine.

Big facts.

Face said that Prince was cheating everybody and that's why he wanted out. Mike Dean really got lucky and was able to have a second life in music. A lot of that team kinda vanished.

:laugh: then they used it again for the intro to Mack 10s first album

The funny sh*t with Mack 10, was when he ran out of the courtroom cuffed and jumped off the roof of the building in the "Foe Life" video from like the 10th floor and landed on the cop car and just kept running. HAHA!

They don’t make videos the way they used to.

:russ:
