So Ice Cube's album flopped.

[finboy]

been thinkin about doing this for a while, but also been listening to oldschool (wich people here hate), so i might not do it.

shit outside of hip hop i check:

The Kickdrums, S.O.D., Artic Monkeys, Radiohead, etc.

everytime i come into the IC and see what people now consider "good hip hop" makes me wanna delete my hip hop folder.

nothing wrong with having a wide musical vocabulary, i don't understand people who ONLY listen to one or two genres of music.

this shit is practically free now, explore as much as you can, lol

i doubt Cube is worried about #'s at this stage in the game. He's well accomplished, he making records because he want to, not

because he has to, and even if he only moved 1 unit, thats 1 more than all the peeps throwin hate at him.

Ice Cube's a sellout, of course he cares about numbers.

^^^^^this.

Cube had a 22 year run of gold and platinum certifications. he paid his dues and nothing lasts forever. this is for the art and he's still moving solid independent units.

Outsold by Lil Boosie.

Let that sink in.

 

[G.R.I.P. Money $$$]

Outsold by Lil Boosie. While hes in jail....

Let that sink in.

[Tree Fiddy]

I don't see how Cube will ever get his street credibility back.

 

[Hyde Parke]

and the excuses roll in

foh

its not an excuse, its a fact, no matter how sad and pathetic your life is, if cube only sold one record, its more than you ever have and ever will.. Dude is solid, certified, and well established, and thats the real issue you
have with him, #' s have nothing to do with this..

 

[musicology1985]

Outsold by Lil Boosie.

Let that sink in.

Shit I like Lil Boosie. He got some hot music and it's his time now. If he wasn't locked up he woulda did double that. No one stays on top forever, not even Cube.

old rappers need to know when to stop rapping

 

[P. Town]

Ya'll know who gon come and shut this whole thread down, i'm just sayin

right, but its always, always the cats that havent made anything of their lives trying to down the next man to their level. You will likely never hear another successful, established man, trying to discredit the other successful, established man. Only the ones who dont have shit, aint shit, and wont ever be shit.

 

[PLASTIC RULES]

Cube easily made $10-20 mill off those sales since he owns his own independent label.

Independent artists stay cakin', major labels stay rapin'.

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

its not an excuse, its a fact

you sincerely believe that Ice Cube did not desire to sell more than Lil Boosie?

lol

stans make that "oh the numbers didnt matter to him" excuse for every rapper, not just old washed up ones like Cube
