Ice Cube's new record: RAW FOOTAGE


Recommended Posts

What's up, people?

Ice Cube's latest record, Raw Footage, is out since August 19th. I ordered the BestBuy limited edition on ebay, and got it last monday. Since then I think I heared the album 3-4 times. I think it's more political than his last records and one of his best records ever. My favourite tracks are: Thank God, Get Use To It, It Takes A Nation, Why Me and Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It.

Nas' Untitled record is awesome. But I think Raw Footage is a little bit better than Untitled and it's my personal album of the year so far.

My rates:

Untitled: 9 out of 10

Raw Footage 9.5 out of 10

Now the question: Have you listened to Raw Footage? And what do you think of it?

Peace.

Man, there are so many albums that came out in the last few months i waz gonna review...i just haven't had time. I did get Ice Cube's new one and sad 2 say, i like it as much as his last one. Lyrically he is on point. Production-wise, there is ALOT 2 be desired. His beats just aren't that good...especially the ones with current day commercial and dirty south influence. It strips the solid sound he had back in the 90's and 80's. I can't see how the album could be given anything higher than a 7.

"Do ya thang" is a pretty good track actually. Even though it brings out the gangsta rap we thought was already gone, the beat its tremendous and thelyrics are as abrasive as Ice has always been.Lookin 4 stars? If u dont like my face Bit..h, Look at my car..

It's pretty wack. It's no different from anything else right now. It just has a west-coast beat to it. Lyrically impressive? Not at all. It's extremely simple and shallow.

Ice Cube should find a middle ground because it's hard to picture this dude as he paints himself every time he comes out with an album.

There's so many albums out right now that I want to check out, I was very impressed with how Ice Cube came back so strong on his "Laugh Now, Cry Later" album which is one of the better albums this decade in my opinion, it'd be awesome if "Raw Footage" is on the same level as that one, can't wait to check to see if it is, Ice Cube one of the most consistant mcs ever, btw "Do Ya Thing" is one of the best songs out right now to me
