WE EAT SO MANY SHRIMP

This is kind of retarded but I actually feel betrayed by Ice Cube. I know that I don’t matter to him and that he can do whatever he wants with his career but I still feel that way. When I was a young boy Ice Cube was everything I wanted a rapper to be. Angry and going hard as fuck on a record. In the early 90′s Ice Cube shaped my political beliefs. He legitimizing my opinions. My father told me white people were racists assholes but Ice Cube made me believe it. I had faith that he could do no wrong. I didn’t give a fuck that he wasn’t really a gangbanger or that he came from a good family. I didn’t care that most of his stories were really the Lynch Mobs. To me Ice Cube was the definition of cool. I wished I could grow his fro and own that green impala on triple gold daytons.

I’m posting a some cube tracks not because they are hard to find or anything, especially with them reissuing a lot of this stuff, but the reason I felt like posting these songs is because I like them a lot. They are songs that have a sound that I miss and feature an Ice Cube that I don’t think I’ll ever get the chance to hear again. Well maybe “You Know How We Do It” but there is probably a more likely chance he’d try doing another Bop Gun before that, that’s assuming he doesn’t make any more fucking christmas songs.

Ill-Legal with KD and Sir Jinx (CIA EP 1986)
The sound isn’t the best because I didn’t feel ripping the record, instead I just downloaded it. This shit is pre NWA when Cube, Dre, KD, and Sir Jinx use to pretend they were in RunDMC. This record has been reissued so you can easily get a hold of it if you want.
Nigga You Love To Hate (Amerikkka’s most wanted 1990)
Ice Cube over that Bomb Squad production. It was such a departure from that NWA sound that when I first heard the record I didn’t know what to think.
Endangered Species ft Chuck D and a really lame guitar solo(kill at will ep 1990)
The opening track on the Kill At Will ep. Cube and Chuck D addressing death of young black males. These two have some of the strongest voices in the rap game.
Wrong Nigga to Fuck With (death certificate 1991)
Fuck r&b and the running man. No softness, no dancing, just macho ass hiphop shit and I fucking love it. Making threats and fronting on people who like to dance is my shit.
When Will They Shoot (the predator 1992)
The way that beat just stomps is my favorite part. Brother J sampled for the hook and then Cube comes in and just kills that shit. This song can do no wrong. When I first heard this I remember thinking how this was the greatest song I’d ever heard in my life.
You Know How We Do It (lethal injection 1993)
The video for this song came out during the summer of 1994. That summer I would wake up, turn on mtv jams and watch this video. I don’t know why but for weeks it was always like the first or second video I saw when I woke up. Dumbfuck Bill Bellamy just knew my routine.

I miss Ice Cube and drinking St Ides. It’s almost like my friend died but really he just turned into a shitty actor/rapper.

I figure most people who read this already check cocainblunts but peep noz’s Low Profile post.

I grabbed this album a few weeks back mostly because Lil Keke’s name was on it. It’s suppose to be an album him and Jacka of Mob Figaz, this bay area crew, made together, but it’s not. It’s really more like a split EP. I’m guessing that Jacka paid Keke to do some shit with him so they could hype it up so Keke sent him some songs he had and they slapped the album together. The songs with keke don’t have Jacka or any of the Mob Figaz dudes on them and the same goes for the Jacka songs not having Keke on them. Jacka has some moments but really none of his shit really stands out on this album. Hell Lil Keke doesn’t even really bring it on this shit. Overall I think I should have spent my money on something else but whatever. At least there is one decent track on the album, We Made It Out The Bottom, which of course has the southern boys throwin down as opposed to some half ass bay area mob shit. So yeah my opinion is that you’re better off downloading this one track and not wasting your time dealing with generic bay area mob shit that sounds like messy marv throw away tracks from five years ago.

We Made It Out The Bottom ft Lil Keke Eightball, Killa Kyleon

these might be country rap tunes but this is about as hiphop as it fucking gets. If you want to front on bun well then don’t ever bother reading this website ever again because you’re a worthless piece of shit.

Bun
What I like about this song is mostly the simplicty in it. Bun by himself, no guest verse, no trendy production, no fancypants chorus, just Bun letting you know that you can’t fuck with that as the beat gets cut up, it’s as trill as it gets.

If for some dumbass reason you don’t know Bun’s history then listen to The Story. He breaks down the history of UGK. From their beginnings in PA to getting fucked over by Jive to Pimp getting locked up to the creation of this album.

The Story

On some messageboard somewhere I once compared Bun to MF Doom in that compared to many who came up in their time these two have been able to maintain they skills and stay relevent to their respective scenes. In hiphop where rappers fall off by the 12″ it’s rare to see someone with such talent constantly coming dope as fuck with it. Fuck Rolling Stone’s shitty ass list of whats going to be the big releases this fall. Trill is where shit is at, cop that shit on tuesday because it’s worth more than all the other overhyped albums coming out. Hopefully Rap-A-Lot gets their fucking heads out of their asses and actually makes vinyl readily available for this. The list of guests on this album is fucking ridiculous. Everyone submitted some shit out of respect for one the legends that might never get a dumbass hiphop honor chain.

gang of motherfuckers showin out for this joint so peep game

Draped Up Remix

Trill drops on tuesday.
