Kansas City Chief Exactly. They really need to do their homework.

that was 3 decades ago lol

Kansas City Chief Not just cube, what about Westside connection? That group was the shit! Where's Jay Z's group?

Nethan Lock Jays ego was too big for a group. Lol

Exactly there was supposed to be a group with Jay, Ja Rule, and DMX but that shit was over before it even started.

Ralphie Lauren TV one of the best.. that could mean anything

I was gonna say Tupac and Biggie, but then I realized that you're completely right.

Phenom Facemob look I what cube did. he influenced an entire rap movements on gangster rap. No ever brings that up.

ice cube in his prime legendary

Ralphie Lauren TV yep

Can't argue with that. Gay-Z may be a billionaire but he can't deny that the majority of his success is because of the death of Biggie Smalls. When Biggie died, Gay-Z tried to take his spot as king. But Nas checked his ass and reminder him that he will always be in Biggie's shadow.

@@cole9777 yo if you a real 90s hip hop addict then you would respect jay z, if somebody in your town is a hot rapper and your a rapper too who’s from the same city as them and they die what else you supposed to do? Quit your career? Don’t blame jay z success on biggies death cause jay z is regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, if he was really wack as you say he is, than why does he have so much respect in the industry? You ain’t a real 90s hip hop fan, plus jay z wrote Still Dre and I bet you bop the shit out of that so before you call him “gay z” just remember who wrote one of dr dre’s biggest songs 😂

@@cole9777 lol 🤡 Jay-Z is a Billionaire. Jay-Z is the king of Rap! Ice Cube was a fraud that pretended to be a gangsta and was raised up in a upper middle class family. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Nah he gets his respect it's just his beef with DJ quik that took him down a couple notches cuz quik bodied eiht in every single diss track during their 6-8 year beef

Not really

Jay was popping when big was alive . He just got bigger after big death because he has to hold the throne down for bk and go hard like he been and still doing. Much love to ice cube he is very talented and him and hay are both successful business man

Jay was also Hustling until 93’

@@sadiqmuhammad6925 NO HE WAS NOT...👋

On dre day the last line bout creeping to south central n putting the chrome on the side of a white sox hat was a diss after no vasoline.

NWA doesnt have an ice cube diss track. Taking a shot at somebody in one line in a verse of a song doesnt make the song a diss track. A message to benedict arnold was the closest they did to a diss track but a skit still isnt really a track in that sense. I think they really could have roasted cube and matched no vaseline , with their creativity combined, and cube would really have made a good target, as phony as his whole get down was.... But how could they be mad at cube for leaving NWA when everybody was leaving. he didnt shut them up, the group disbanded. If dre, ren, the d.o.c. and eazy got together to roast cube lyrically and musically they would have roasted his ass, you can see it in those home videos how they clowned him, they would have came up with something devastating musically

nah

Lac Jones they were referring to Eazy E

cube has the best catalog in hip-hop

stop

LL Cool J , also he shows versatility in his acting career and he's still active , too bad he s sooooooooo underrated. He should have a Hollywood star asap

Wake N Bake J Cube just got his Hollywood star a month ago

matubaM that war and piece 1 & 2 fucked up his discography though. Even though I liked lethal injection, it was a slump coming off of the predator. With cube also saying that lethal injection was made to prove that he didn't go soft, cube definitely changed from NWA to today.

Mark F Chennis far as WHAT? because i know u don't mean lyrically

yes he means lyrically

Mark F Chennis cube was a beast factz

Facts

did you listen to Reasonable doubt

And Jay-Z painted a vivid picture 4 us on the east coast. I think that's something a lot of people dont get. We lived the life he was speaking on, its not a knock on Cube but he is not the lyricist that Jay is, not by a long shot. You cant say he was better than DMX or Big Pun or Big Daddy Kane or KRS or LL Cool J. That was some of the BEST lyrical dudes in the game, hell I didn't even put down a dozen other cats that are better lyricists than Cube, again not a knock but ya'll tryna 2 make him out 2 be the best & he really ain't, just sayin 💁🏾‍♂️💁🏾‍♂️💁🏾‍♂️💁🏾‍♂️

Jay z was way better...facts

GreenBay WINNERS12 I say it all the time.

Absolutely

Top 5 studio gangster

@@titosullivan5380 yea he turned Hollywood but he still got flo

vondrae hawkins Well said. Now that I am in my late 20's and understand what life is really about, I view and consume music differently. Cube's music from 27 years ago is still relevant today. Many of Jay's albums have not aged well.

vondrae hawkins it was jus highly anticipated is why they did so well especially wit nwa beef voin on at the time

Death Certificate is my #3 album of all time and I'm from the east coast. Only albums I take over that is Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back and Slick Rick - Great Adventures. Cube is in my top 5 if I had to make one and the best from the west coast.

Ahmad Robertson The production on Amerikkka's Most Wanted was better. But the rhymes, story telling, subject matter, album cohesiveness was much better on Death Certificate.

Ahmad Robertson Were the same exact age so are memories are on par. I'm from Boston MA. I always ask myself if I could only listen to three hip hop albums again what would they be. In order Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Slick Rick - Great Adventures of Slick Rick, IceCube - Death Certificate.

According to King Tee, Del ghostwrote for Cube.

@@tshiamomompati Del co wrote with Cube... Not ghostwrote... That's per Del himself

And that was only for a couple of songs on Amerikkas Most. Cube also did a song on Dels first album too

Watch the interview..he didnt write some of his best songs.no comparison now

@@twashbeats exactly

Buddy Scarver... Yes he was and still is

@buddyscarver7167 what about Diddy?

Brian Johnson a lot of it. D.o.c.,and Ren did as well.

John Singleton wrote Boyz In The Hood, Ice Cube wrote Friday

Disciple The Poet I thought y'all were talking about the song "boyz in the hood"

Galvatron they are

Ice cube didn't write boys n the hood movie

TheBobes bro stop it. Eazy was never a great. R.I.P he was a real g tho

Gambit Wilson my 3rd fav ice cube album

For me, every album after Bootlegs and B Sides was hit or miss. Cube is one of the best storytellers in the game.....still!!

Lethal injection is what killed easy

Rico Suave Rapper C Bo

Rico Suave for real, he will make it happen...

Bo is just too much for most people. Never seen a white person bumping CBO

Zachary Holguin if he had brotha lynch on here, I don't see why not C Bo..

IOozeAwesomeness same here...

Agreed, my dude! That's my favorite rap song of all time...

let me add ghetto vet to the list. jay's storytelling skills might be his biggest weakness

"Unpacked and grabbed my 380, Cos where we stayin niggaz look shady"

everything is connected d’evils, regrets, streets is watching, you must love me, where I’m from dead president 2 ??? Jay z is one of the greatest lyricist and storytellers ever

You mean album lol

He ALREADY was a 🐐

Still as big as Jay Z is..ppl keep talking about how beyonce has bigger hits!..So If it was Beyonce and Ice Cube...than Cube would totally be called Mr. beyonce rather than recognized for being a GOAT.

It is a comparison..I think overall..Cube was better

Cube has a few classics on his own and a classic with NWA. Jay-Z has RD and a bunch of mainstream slush.

MaskedAvenger13 Reasonable Doubt The Blueprint The Black Album American Gangster 4:44 Vol 1 Amerikkas Most Wanted Death Certificate The Predator Lethal Injection Laugh Now Cry Later Raw Footage

GAmacBoi478 jay z had many platinum albums and has money but were his albums actually GOOD , I tried bumping all of his albums and only about 3-4 of them were actually solid

Theirs no need Ice Cube wins easy their is nothing in Jay Z catalog touching Ice Cube in prime easy Straight Outta Compton , Easy Duz It , Amerikkka's , Kill At Will Ep , Dead , Predator and Lethal Injection Shit You Better Come On In I dont even have to look at Jay what Life and Time 3 The Dynasty

Rick James Numbers do lie. Jay always had a machine behind him called Def Jam. Also, Jay is the master of inflating album sales. 4:44 went Platinum because of his deal with Sprint. I do not count those as "real" album sales.

Dead true

Not True!!! Take his Cube Albums or guest features in the those years and take Jay-Z same material and if you know hip hop and lyrics Jay-Z hands down better!!! No disrespect but nobody puts Cube in the Greatest of all time conversation !!

chris velez in your opinion

chris velez one of the best

Rolling around listening to Cube...gang banging in 92.

Leroy Green DMX brought so much energy to the rap game and still is in 2017.

FACTS!!! , TALKING REAL SHIT MY BROVA 💯💯 JAY Z LUCKY

I mean,,, I don't agree tht Cube was "BETTER THAN" J but thts jst MY preference. But the ONE of the things your jst completely wrong about is "being his own man" part. Cube was signed to Ruthless from the gate. Jay Z STARTED his own label from the gate💯. And Irv Gotti was jst a DJ and didn't pop until after J was already on the move. But as far as saying Cube is better I can live with that,,, it's a preference..👍

And oh yeah,,,DMX has GOT TO BE the most underrated rapper EVER. No one will EVER do what he did and his energy is and was unmatched..🔥🔥🔥

@@2tallnegrito7cmn55 Nah,,,Dame hooked up with Biggs and Jay because Dame was doing parties like puff was in the beginning. Dame was the mouth piece that saw the dream.💯 The story is out there KZfaq Google etc. Biggs Jay & Dame all hve said how they got together...

I’m from California and disagree with this video . Im a fan of ice cube but nothing in cubes arsenal could touch any of hov’s shit lyrically and I mean that with the upmost respect .Reasonable doubt is a perfect example . “Can I live” alone proves my point . And jay wasn’t even in his prime yet .

Reasonable doubt blueprint >>>>>>>>

Justin Richardson ❌

Only white people anticipate Jay-Z album cause beyonce is going to be on that shit.

It was inspired by the movie Dead Presidents which was released the same year. Issac Hayes was the opening song.

Don't know bro, Reasonable Doubt was his debut album and is considered one of the best of all time. He was elite out the gate, but yes, having Biggie die definitely help to separate him from the heap in NY. May have turned out different for him without Biggie's death...

Such a typical list

Jay speaks about Brooklyn. Just say you don't understand it like I don't know that LA gang shit. Cube is speaking what he knows and Jay is speaking what he knows

Never understood all the Jay hype either. So many other rappers with better flow and better rhymes. In no particular order, Method man, gza, Snoop, cube, em, kurupt, dub c, biggie, rbx, andre nickatina and on and on haha Also just my opinion.

Cube is not good sorry to disappoint u

Jay got more hits than cube

David Scott Jay got air play on the radio, Cube got zero in his prime.

are you smoking crack??? wtf!!!

Amazing that dumb comments like these get likes Cube wasn't even that good of a lyricist

Mr Violator - Jay has stand the test of time for over 20+ years at the number 1 spot and that's not by coincidence. Plus Cube got exposed in the late 90's as being a fake gangsta so his lyrics were deemed unoriginal and nobody likes an unoriginal rapper. As with Jay his friends getting out and saying everything he talks about is very true which for him garners the ultimate respect and that is why Jay has loyal fans til this day unlike Cube.

Yes he can

Lol

I.T. Prospect Big L and AZ never get talked about when it comes to lyrical Gods it's always Nas or Jay Z and that's bullshit
