The album was a let down.....im not really surprised though. I dont understand why he named the album "I Am The West" when there's barely any west coast sounding songs in the entire album! Go back to making kids movies Cube your westside connect days are over!
The album does suck. However, I'm against labeling beats by region. Fuck "east coast sounding", "southern sounding", "west coasting sounding" beats. If a beat bangs, it fuckin' bangs. I remember dudes gettin' their panties in a bunch because Lil Wayne is from the South but his beats didn't sound like DJ Paul produced them. SO FUCKING WHAT? Fuck a South-soundin' beat. DOPE BEATS ARE UNIVERSAL.
DO IT. Unless its against forum rules or something. If it's a proper album, people will support it! If it's shit then people deserve to hear it before they go buying an Ice Cube album because he WAS one of the best lyrcist of the decade!
All the new music I've posted I don't really care for it, but I do it just cuz it's fresh new "hip-hop" and so peeps can make their own judgement!
