finally got around to hearing this
it's actually pretty decent
one of the better albums from the second Cube era (after 2000), most of the tracks have a vibe and he doesn't sound like he's trying too hard
his biggest issue since 98 is he's been way overplaying his persona but I think he managed to keep that in check for the most part here
mfs saying the flow isn't there well dude is damn near a senior citizen now you can't expect him to flow like he did in the Lethal Injection days
even if he attempted to it would sound super wack

some time in the late 90's Cube started taking himself a lil too seriously IMO
he started out as a reality rapper and released classic after classic but at some point shifted to a more "gangsta" persona
he rolled with WC and Mack 10 and them nikkas was bout that life, Cube wasnt
can't be fronting like you the toughest nikka on earth when your ass got knocked out and your chain snatched
the whole Don Mega gimmick was wack to me too
then there's tracks like this
mf talkin bout some "Google me bytch" over some Super Mario ass instrumental
I respect Cube, shyt early Cube can be in the top 5 GOAT list easily but when he tries too hard to style on mfs he just ends up making an ass out of himself

i see your point.. i don't totally agree, cube came in the game on some "gangsta gangsta" shiţ so i don't know about the shifting to a "gangsta" persona... however, i do agree he has been very gimmicky since the late 90s.... the song you posted was wack as fuçk....

The biggest, illest, killa gorilla gangsters have taken Ls before. Dude that did it gave him credit for not being a punk and squaring up. That's a bad thing to hold against someone.
