3.0 out of 5 stars Strong production but Cube has ran out of things to say, March 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: War & Peace, Vol.2 (The Peace Disc) (Audio CD)

There's no doubt that War and Peace Vol 2 is a very listenable album, the production for the most part is excellent with deep bass and beats. Besides, Ice Cube is one of the best rappers in the game when it comes to skills and style, he's raw and aggressive delivery still makes for a great listening.

However..Cube has the problem as other rappers in the game like Ice-T..he's ran out of things to say..there's no social/political commentary like in Amerikkas Most Wanted, Kill at Will or Death Certificate. Instead, Cube raps about how much money he got, about playa haters and so on.

Still..Cube is Cube and the album is definitely better than the very uneven War Disc.

Ironically, the first track on the album produced by Dr Dre and it's an NWA cut with MC Ren, Dr Dre and Ice Cube. Here Cube is at he's strongest just as back in the days, the same was true for the Next Friday soundtracks NWA cut Chin Check in which Cube was dope..but on all the other songs, he just cannot elevate himself lyrically.

Still..an excellent albm with many great cuts like "Nigga of the Century" and "Hell Low"..the NWA track

The Brainiac does it again with his brand new CD, "War & Peace (the peace disc)". He is back with the real sh't at last, and "Peace" is his best album since "Death Certificate". I was a little nervous when I found out that he didn't produce, and that the likes of Chucky Thompson and Puff Daddy was beatmakers. But it works out real fine and the beats are perfect for Ice Cube. Cube fans know that the sound on "War" wasn't quite right... Anyway Cube's flow is better that ever, on tracks like "Roll All Day" and "Supreme Hustle" he proves that his game is still tight and that he can match rap-storytellers like Slick Rick and Biggie. This CD contains a pile of supa tracks, that Cube fans and Gangsta Rap fanatics can love for a long time . Be sure to check out "Hello" w/Mc Ren and Dre, "Gotta Be Insanity" and "Record Company Pimpin'". This actor/producer/screenwriter/MC is still doin' it... and I can't help lovin' it!

This is for all you that have only been listening to rap for a couple of years. Do not judge Ice Cube's abilities on his past couple albums. To appreciate him, go back to albums like "Death Certificate" , "Predator" and "AMW". I respect Ice Cube as an actor and as an artist, but his last couple attempts at gaining the stature he once had have come empty handed. This album is tired.
