War And Peace Vol.1 (The War Disc) - Ice Cube

Advantages: Lyrics & Beats are excellent
Disadvantages: none

I recently bought War & Peace (The War Disk) after hearing 'Fuck Dying', Cube's excellent collaboration with KoRn. I thought this tune was excellent so I purchased the album. This CD is better than good, it's excellent! Cube's lyrics are well thought out and his beats are a cut above the rest. From 'Ask About Me' to 'Fuck Dying' to 'Penitentiary', these tunes are all wicked! In my opinion, Ice Cube is the best rapper by far, and this album proves ... Read review

He talks about getting shot, being confined to a wheelchair and turning into a drug addict. A thought-provoking song. Worst tracks: Once Upon A Time In The Projects 2 - I don't like the beat on this one, just a personal ... Read review

Advantages: Great lyrics,good songs
Disadvantages: none

An outstanding contribution from one of the notorious rap artists of our generation. The lyrics are absolutely amazing and give a great in depth understanding into the rap / gangster world in America. The way Ice Cube is able to express himself is beyond the realms of anybody else. From his days in N.W.A to recent times the lyrics are just amazing. To be able to bring out such a classic album is one thing but to top it again with the Peace disc is ...
...album. If you like Ice Cube as much as me then you must buy the Peace disc, Death Certificate and anything associated with N.W.A.
