Ghostface Killah Vs Ice Cube

[supergangster]

Been very difficult for me to decide , i'll go to the gym and sit in the sauna and think

Its a tough choice because Ice Cube had already peaked when Wu Tang's first record came out.

But I'm going with Cube because he ghostwrote some classic songs for NWA.

BTW, that NWA & The Posse album wasn't a real album. It was released after Straight Outta Compton and wasn't really an album, it was just something that their old record label threw together to make money. Kinda like Lost Tapes but it featured groups that nobody had heard of.

easy

Ice Cube is top 5, not many ppl have 3 classic solo albums in a row either....I am not a fan of ghostface at all, his flow, his voice, his lyrics are all wack to me

 

[supergangster]

Fuck it was hard but i pick cube

 

[Louis Devinear]

I'm gonna catch flack for this, but fuck it.

I never liked ice cube. Some of his songs? Yeah.

But overall no.

And Ice cube don't got nothing as vivid as this.

Impossible wu tang clan

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Ghost is the better rapper without question, but since emphasis was put on discography, I went with Cube.

 

[Tsotsi Cape Town]

I might get crucified for this but...

I'm going Cube because he, ya know, actually does a solo album....solo?

GFK always got Rae or Meth or some nigga featured. Not saying it's bad or anything, but this is artist vs artist, no plurals. Although Cube fell off after LI, GFK consistent af

Does Cube's ghostwriters count?

 

[DR. JEK]

Cube and the shit aint close. The writer of one of the best groups of all time in NWA. Come on now....give ghost somebody on his level like a camron or somebody.

I love Cube, he's a legend for sure but I think Ghostface has much better albums. I also think Ghost is far more lyrical, but both are versatile in their subject matter. Because Wu-Tang is my favorite group of all time, I might be biased but I'll take Ghost pretty much anytime.

Cube is not as lyrical as Ghost by a long shot and I dare say Ghost's verses with Wu-Tang are deeper then almost anything Cube did with NWA. I fuck with Cube but song by song, no way in hell does Cube win.

 

[luke1733]

I get your point, but nah. Can't rate these two against each other. Too different types.

 

[5 Grand]

Cube was groundbreaking when he first came out. Between Straight Outta Compton to Death Certificate he was rapping about stuff that nobody else was talking about. Can't say the same for Ghostface.

Seriously, you can't say that Ghostface changed the game and broke down barriers.

Where's Ghostface's Fuck The Police, Burn Hollywood Burn, Black Korea, No Vaseline?

 

[DJ Pauls Arm]

Is this really up for debate? lol

 

[DR. JEK]

I have to be in the mood to filter through some of Ghostface shit. Ice got the perfect balance of lyricism without overdoing it. The better question is who has the most classic story telling joints( im still mad at the IC for that Shakey dog vs summer vacation thread)

But actual whole catalog....pshhh. Its almost disrespectful to vote against cube here.

 

[bamnboy7]

Is this even serious

 

[supergangster]

Is this really up for debate? lol

Yeah since they both got top 5 discographies & GFK ain't that bad overall as a rapper. Great lyrical & nice flow.

DC is a top 5 hip hop album of all time
