I would just say it's very westcoast-ish. I could understand someone from the east or even down south not liking it.

I thought the Westside Connection shyt was pretty bad and I love Cube. He went from rapping about gangster shyt in a conversational capacity to talking like he's actually a gangster. shyt was kinda corny breh.

It was cool to me, I think a lot of it was high expectations based on the run he was having

AMW - 10/10
DC - 10/10
Predator - 9.5/10
Lethal Injection - 9.5/10

It sounds different and people thought Cube was riding the g-funk wave so people weren't happy and already considered it a 'failure' from that standpoint, at least relative to his first two/three albums.

However quality wise, it is in the same realm as The Predator and is an album better than the best album in a lot of rappers' discographies.

I don't have a bad thing to say about Cube's first 4 solo albums. I loved them all. How can you hate on this tracklist?

1. "The Shot (Intro)"
2. "Really Doe"
3. "Ghetto Bird"
4. "You Know How We Do It"
5. "Cave bytch"
6. "Bop Gun (One Nation)"
7. "What Can I Do?"
8. "Lil Ass Gee" Sir Jinx
9. "Make It Ruff, Make It Smooth"
10. "Down For Whatever"
11. "Enemy"
12. "When I Get to Heaven"
