AmeriKKKa/Kill at Will, Death Certificate, Predator and Lethal Injection, in less than 4 years, also while starring in "Boyz n the Hood" and Charles Burnett& #39;s "The Glass Shield." THEN he did "Friday." HoF stats, one of the most hyper-talented superstars of the 1990s, full stop. https://twitter.com/icecube/status/1260689329514377216">https://twitter.com/icecube/s...
Like Snoop and Ice-T, Cube& #39;s now more known now for playing against his 90s rap iconography on TV and in movies, but he& #39;s also weirdly undervalued historically. Before Ice-T, Pac + Snoop, he was the most dangerous rapper alive, but he doesn& #39;t even have an official autobiography?
Part of it is that he started off as part of a group that dwarfed its individual members, and part of it is that he never developed a bad-boy star persona like Ice-T, Pac, or Snoop. IMO, he tops of all of them.
Also, greatest eyebrows in rap history. Tilde-caliber eyebrows ~ ~
He wrote "Gangsta Gangsta," which codified a genre, along with "Fuck tha Police" and "Express Yourself," before he was 20. Then: "Once Upon a Time in the Projects" and "Who& #39;s the Mack," then he invented the sensitive thug with "Dead Homiez." Then he turned 21.
Then "Death Certificate," the only album Billboard& #39;s editors ever wrote a stern op-ed decrying, an album that contained "Steady Mobbin,& #39;" predicting G-Funk 1.5 years early, and "No Vaseline," the greatest diss track until [x]. THEN "It Was a Good Day," only a modern pop standard
