The D.O.C. - "Grand Finale" featuring N.W.A. (1989)
Picture a nigga that's raw
Amplify his ass and what you see is what's on
Muthafuckas I slaughter, blow em out the water
Word to me, fuck the father
My melody is deadly as a pin in a handgrenade
5 seconds before you get played
You can't throw me, I guess you'll blow up
Ever see a sucker scatter, it'll make ya throw up
Then I take advantage, you can't manage
To get up, all you can do is sit up, I get lit up
Hit up, Ice Cube tearing shit up
Like a dude you can bet on
Collide like a head on
Collision, stutter steppin is an incision
Of a nigga saying exactly what I vision
Because I'm gone, you think I left you all
But I stay in yo' ass like cholesterol
When I blast some solid ass alcatraz
And if you escape, you better swim fast
'Cause I'll catch ya, physically and mentally
And the capital punishment's the penalty
Sitting in the electric chair, grab a hold
Pull the switch, yo' body twitch, your eye's explode
Out your skull 'cause being dull on a flow
Is an N-O, niggas didn't know that I can go
Off and show off to throw off the law
Turn, take 10 paces then draw
What's left is a muthafucka dead in the alley
Ice Cube is the shit on the grand finale

Who the fuck is that? It's Ice Cube motherfucka
He's a maniac, no I'ma fool motherfucka
Old school motherfucka, blow through a motherfucka
What you heard about a nigga so true motherfucka
See I'm ugly and prettay, I'm polished and grittay
Shoot better than that nigga that tried to kill 50
See, niggaz get shittay when I come to their cittay
When I hit the spot that bitch they like -- she cummin' with me
Cause I got an ego big as TO, but I'm not an Eagle
Bitch, I roll with Rigo 'cause gangstas don't dance we boogie
I told you motherfuckas Kobe didn't take that pussy
Get money, get paid, you can beat that shit
Even if the DA is a piece'a shit
Colorado got movatos, don't eat that shit
Another White bitch lyin' on thee Black dick
I keep it flippin' like flapjacks, pimpin' like black 'Lacs
Give niggaz flashbacks, they sweaty as ass cracks
When I hit the tar mat, it feel like a carjack
Niggaz get out and vanish like Star Treks
So fuckin incredible, I'm so fuckin' credible
No matter what happen, I'll never turn federal
And that's my report comin' straight from Cali
Ice Cube is the shit on this motherfuckin' Grand Finale

What do you think?

I think that in 15 years, his rhyming skills should have greatly improved, not the other way around.
I dont see anything wrong with that newer verse. It was good to see him back temporarily.

Cube, I think from the time that he was in N.W.A. which was circa '87/88, 89 his style as an emcee was pretty impressive however it wasn't something that stoodout. Sure he had a pretty dope lyrical but his flow needed some work.

By the time he went solo, thats when he was at his peak. "amerikkka's most wanted", "death certificate" & "lethal injection" were just banging.

When "the predator" came around he showed glimpses of slacking off and by the time "war" and "peace" dropped his music was fairly weak. He had the occassional banger still but his consistency and his records overall just weren't that good. His game stepped down.

So to answer you question, I think that at the start we was above average with potential. In the middle stages he was at this prime. Now-a-days his below average.

Grand Finalé is classic, it's a classic posse cut off a classic LP.
Grand Finalé is fairly new with potential to be classic. Cubes OG verse is rawer, his newer one is just dope.

peace.
