Would he be considered the GOAT? I would put him above Pac and BIG if this was the case. I think his early solo work, death certificate especially is more relevant today than when it was released.

No Friday? I dont like this thread....
-
Maybe...He'd def have a better reputation than he does now...I'd say that if he died after The Predator, he'd be considered the GOAT...Check Yo Self and It Was a Good Day are GOAT singles
-
So your premise is an MC has to die after their best work to be considered a GOAT well dont tell Jay Z, Nas or Rakim this. BTW MC's from past generations are always overlooked for what ever is hot at the moment.
-
? ? done dropped some dope ? in the last 4/5 years minus that last album. Take away the WE BE CLUBBIN years when Cube kept yelling at us, and his music has always been quality to me.
-
Why couldnt he have just retired????????

Because retirement really doesn't really leave people asking "what if?" and is never as final as death.

-
if he was to have gone out like biggie and 2pac.. yeah I have no argument about that
-
He should be looked at as one of the GOATs now.
-

Yeah when he was messing with Lil Jon real heavy -
? that Raw Footage was a banger too i think it was the best album that dropped that year
-
Easy would be the GOAT
-
I love all of Cubes albums except his most Recent 2. Raw Footage i liked about half of it. I am The West i didnt like too much off of it. Laugh Now Cry Later was ? dope tho.
-
He rank higher than Biggie on my goat list
-
Cube is way better than Biggie, and I'd give him the nod over Pac as well.
? all that if he died ? . He didn't have to die in his prime to get props like those other said rappers. -
Yall some Justin Bieber Miley Cirus lookin muthafuckas -
he's already a GOAT
1988-1994 he was constantly innovating, pushing boundaries, dropping dope projects & classic singles
he's got 4 classics (Straight Outta Compton, AmeriKKKa's, Predator, Death Certificate)
His catalogue including the first 2 Fridays and the Player's Club is outstanding & from 1990-93 could easily be considered the best rapper in the world
Dude doesnt need to go anywhere -
Plus he probably have the greatest diss song ever.
? dismantled NWA by himself -
2pac and Biggie's death really put a dent in you ? heads.
2pac and Biggie before Ice Cube?
Straight Outta Compton, wrote records for Eazy's first classic album, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, Death Certificate, The Predator, Lethal Injection, Bow Down (Westside Connection) etc etc..
Dude had way more content and depth than both of them and was more lyrical. Biggie was probably more witty with the wordplay and ? tho.
I'm a fan of 2pac and Biggie but the media really put them on this pedestal to where they became bigger than the culture, especially to non-urban kids and new fans of hip-hop.
The hip-hop culture didnt start and end with 2pac and Biggie. They went thru the same ? every other rapper goes thru, got critisized by heads all the time and things like that.
-
yea Cube definently doesnt get da respect he deserves wit his legend status
-
Cube has always been in my top 4
