One of The Goats
Easy Duz it (Easy E's first album) and Straight Outta Compton came out in my sophomore year in high school.
Amerikkkas Most Wanted came out in the summer between Junior and Senior year. Kill at Will came out when I was a senior.
He, along with his crew, brought something new to the table.
He had a long 10 year run in the music industry before making the successful transition to Film and TV.
He's a role model and a success story.
He's an example of somebody that went from rocking mics to being an entrepreneur.
He's not just a West Coast legend, he's a legend.

All time hip-hop great and gangsta rap pioneer. Cube is in my personal top 10 list overall.
Funny this thread was made b/c I started listening to hip-hop and checking for rap albums (the ones my mom let me keep) when I was around 12. My first Ice Cube songs I were exposed to were Natural Born Killas, Today Was A Good Day, Check YaSelf, etc., The first Ice Cube album I got was War & Peace that was in late '98. Been listening to Cube's music ever since.
His transition from music to entertainment is the blueprint. Hell, Cube and Master P basically started the trend. Look at what 50 is doing now. Big 3 basketball every summer. Winner in every aspect of the game.

The price of a brick goin up…
I don’t recognize his discography past Lethal Injection & I think most people do too. Cube the only rapper who got away with this type of shit lol.
Swiffness!

Every artist has their prime years. But "The Old Ice Cube" is a phrase that has a special meaning for black hip-hop heads of a certain age.
NO rapper was ever better at effortlessly fusing pro-black militancy with hood shit on wax. Not KRS, not dead prez, not even Pac.
Go look at that first verse on Nigga Ya Love To Hate. In 24 bars he effortlessly trashes the police, the media, pop music, gun control, mass incarceration, and cornball "Let's Go Back to Africa" niggas.
We still get a glimpse of it now and then. He shined on Killer Mike - Pressure.
Also, I know people kinda forget about Lench Mob, but they get credit from me because Neo-Nazi/KKK/White Nationalist types ALWAYS list Lench Mob lyrics in their little boo hoo lists about "VIOLENT ANTI-WHITE RAP LYRICS". Seriously, you see MAGA types on social media complaining about Lench Mob and you can tell they're copying and pasting text from 25 year old Neo-Nazi websites lol.
That said, I do deduct points for producing this show (WHICH I STILL CANT BELIEVE WAS REAL) and doing the theme song.....
Also for tapdancing with Bill Maher the week after that cac said the n-word to a Republican senator...........yuck.
Not as bad as LL doing that "Accidental Racist" song..........but c'mon bruh lol.

No movies and no politics. Cube is one of the most solid to ever touch a mic. Top 20 easy which says a lot in 50 years of hip-hop..!

I would say that if Cube died in the 90s he would be up there with Biggie & Pac
