    do you know how few rappers have a peak period that lasted as long as ice cube's? or had as many classic songs? virtually none.
    this is your opinion, and it's a weird opinion to have. cube was such a powerful, arresting writer that he literally calcified gangsta rap into what it would be for decades. his verses got played at protests and rallies and riots. and the level of craftsmanship in how even his angriest songs are constructed is dizzying. listen to "my summer vacation" and tell me he wouldn't have been a great novelist.
    aren't abstract enough to be the best???? what does that even mean? why do you want every rapper to have the same style?
    this just shows you don't know what you're talking about. cube's flows were actually very, very ahead of their time. in 1988 he was rapping in cadences that could still make it onto the radio today. who else was doing that?

    if we were ranking cube's first two albums against lupe's, both of cubes would be over both of lupe's. also, no, lupe was not "the biggest rapper in the world" at any point in his career

    ice cube is top ten all-time. this thread is insanely stupid.

    two masterpieces solo LPs. two more solo records that are 4.5 mics. straight outta compton. virtually nobody has five records that good.

    can't criticise Cube for having a short lived career when his NWA - Predator run was longer than Pac's entire career. Also, in terms of discography, I'd say it's unfair to criticise Cube when Jay, Common, DOOM and Nas all have stinkers.

    No, he does what hes trying to do perfectly. So what if he isn't abstract lmfao. He's more of a delivery + meaning type of rapper (kinda like Pac)
