Death certificate is definitely one of the best albums ever made
Hands down definitely a classic and favorite Cube album!!! Still in rotation till this day!
Same Here
Most definitely Ice Cube Best Album 💯
A bird in the hand is my personal favorite from this album!! Plus horny lil devil and man’s best friend tracks were a major game changer at the time this album dropped !!!!! Straight Fire!!!!
Death Certificate My Favorite Ice Cube Album 💯
Soren Baker knows his hip hop. Ice Cube is a beast on the mic. Baltimore loves west coast music.
This is very much one of the best hip-hop albums. You can play this album from front to back...
Shoots out to Mc Eiht,Cmw and Dj Slip,those brothers was right there next to Death row,much love Eiht,big big impact on West coast history
Death Certificate and The Predator are my top albums I consider Classics. To me classic is able to listen to the album Side A to the end of B side. over and over and no skips.
Yesssssss it's my favorite hip hop album of all time Period.... A crazy time especially out here in so cal..
Death Certificate is a Masterpiece!!! The Death Side, The Life Side...No Vaseline The greatest anticipated diss track of all time!!! One Of The No. 1 albums of all time..the cover shows Us a New Ice Cube without his Jheri Curl with Sam laying dead!!! Dope ass cover!!!
100%. Such a amazing album. It’s my personal favorite Cube album. Don’t get me wrong AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted ,The Predator,Lethal Injection,Kill at Will are all amazing albums but for me Death Certificate blew me away when it dropped in 1991. I was a freshman in high school and everyone was jamming “No Vaseline”,”Steady Mobbin’” and my favorite track on the album “My Summer Vacation” Cube is amazing. Writes raps and scripts for massive movies
My favorite Cube album. My freshman year in college. Great album!
man yall got a good set here. yup Death Cert was a great album brings back many memories
And we come Strapped!!Masterpiece!!
Cube is the ultimate story teller. Not only does Cube write raps but he also writes movies
Factz. I love Biggie, but these east coast dudes like Tony Yayo on Drink Champs, who really don't know Cube's catalogue like that, sounded ridiculous tryna say he's not hip hop's best storyteller. Cube, Biggie, Nas, KRS and Scarface are elite storytellers, but Cube's the 🐐 of that category. I'll argue with anybody about this topic.
@@MichaelBrown-ti1un Hey I agree with you. Big’s my favorite rapper but Cube is 100% the best storyteller in hip hop. That’s why DJ EFN was like “WTF are you talking about Yayo?” My top 3 are Big,because he’s my favorite rapper ever,Icecube and then PAC. Even though Big only had 2 albums “Ready to Die “ and “ Life After Death “which is a double album and “Born Again” I just don’t consider it Bigs third album. Cube has around 10-11 albums and I’m not counting Greatest Hits or mixtapes or compilations. I’m also not counting the NWA album. So Cubes among of albums,songs is way more than Bigs. One of my favorite Cube tracks is “Greed” and “Natural Born Killers “ with Dre. “Death Certificate “ is my favorite Cube album and even though “AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted “ is Cubes first solo album and the hype for it coming out was insane especially when we heard that The Bomb Squad was producing it. That album and Doggystyle were some of the most iconic albums that people were waiting for to drop. Doggystyle for a long time held the record for pre release,pre order,sales and it still might hold that record but I’m not 100% sure about that. Eminem might of beat that but I’m not positive. I’m 46 years old and grew up in the 1980’s-1990’s. I graduated high school in 1995 and that era was amazing for every genre of music
@@MichaelBrown-ti1un Absolutely. You can always tell when somebody is just being loyal over facts.
SUMMER VACATION: "My homie got shot he's a goner Black.
/St. Luis niggaz want their corner back."
Between this and Amerikkka Most Wanted Cube gotta case for it
Top 3 Hip-Hop album EVER!!! It had everything u wanted in an album covered 🔥
Hell no
What's the top 3?????
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF MY TOP 5 ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!!
5:15 the sequencing is the key on DC.
We stepped off the plane,four gangbangers profesional crack slangers...summer vacation
It's One of My Favorite Albums Ever💯👍
Death certificate is a classic dope album. The content of this album is still reverent to what's happening in the World today.
THAT TRUE TO THR GAME THO!! Me and big bro still play that song it’s timeless. Definitely top 3 G albums
THIS ALBUM SPOKE ON A LOT OF THINGS NOT JUS HOOD ISSUES… BUT TO ME… WHAT MADE IT SO FIRE… IS, THA LAST SONG/TRACK ON THE ALBUM STARTED OF HARD… OH YEAH… IT AINT OVA MUTHA____Z…THEN …. BOOM💥 NWA (my 3rd favorite group) LAID TO REST🙏🏿
Death certificate is the greatest album of all time!!!
One of my fave albums, Cubes best IMO and that is saying a lot since he has a great catalog especially early on. Album is flawless!!!!!!!
No duds on that album quality product to say the least
It's either Scarface Mr Scarface is back or mc eiht ft cmw we come strapped
I think this is the best rap album of all time. In my opinion. Concept wise it’s a masterpiece bro
As a St Louis cat i cant overstate the accuracy of My Summer Vacation. I had just graduated from high school in 91 and living in North St. Louis. I had interactions with some of those wanna be crips and thought they were st8 clowns!!!!
Death Certificate is definitely one the greatest G rap albums of all time!
Damn he shouted out the BCOs and the DDs. Wow. But the 5 and the 6 migrated to cleveland before Bs and Cs so I think that take over was the one that erased Brick City Outlaws and the DDs
Hands down a sublime album!!
Yes sir everything about is relevant even today.
My Favorite Rap Album of All Time. Cube 🌎✊🏾👑🐐..
Ice Cube’s first 2 albums are clearly 2 of the best Hip Hop albums of all time . I put them over classic records like Ready to Die , Reasonable Dout , Ilmatic , No One Can Do It Better , Southerplayalistic , Only Built for Cuban Linxs , Quik is The Name and DoggyStyle . Only record that comes close is Good Kid MAAD City in my opinion .
Bc all them album were different then death certificate focus on social commentary and more political
Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt (timeless albums) are much better than Ice Cube's albums. What the hell are you talking about? Nas >> Cube. JAY-Z >> Cube. Death C is overrated and sounds old and dated. GKMC is also better than DC and all of Ice Cube's other old albums. In fact almost all the albums you mentioned are better than Death C. They've aged much better.
Lmao
@@JonathanPereiraDaFrancaOnly NY dudes put Ilmatic and Reasonable Dout over Ice Cube’s first two solo joints . Cube shit went platinum the same year they dropped while Nas and J albums took years to do it . Cube left arguably the best group to go solo . West coast had the best music from 88 to 98 . Quik , Cube , Snoop , Dog Pound , Pac , Too Short and Scarface from Houston had the 90’s on smash . It wasn’t even close .
@@slikron8536 I'm not even American. So I'm being impartial... New York easily has the best rappers of all time. It is the birthplace of Hip-Hop. I didn't even mention Get Rich Or Die Tryin' which must have more impact than all of West's albums outside the US. Most people put classic albums by Nas, JAY-Z, 50 Cent, Rakim, Biggie, Mobb Deep, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu in front of Ice Cube. Do you live in a cave bro? Kendrick Lamar is the only one competing with East (maybe The Chronic and Doggystyle). To Pimp A Butterfly >>>>> GKMC (too) you just wrote nonsense. Wu Tang >>> NWA. You probably live in Los Angeles. No album is better than illmatic for everyone outside the United States. You're trippin. And honestly no one cares about sales. This argument sounds like a white Eminem fan.
1990 to 1996 Cube was amazing in Hip Hop 🌴💯💪🏾
Damn soren baker really studied hip-hop
ice cube death certificate is a masterpiece and classic album my favorite song steady mobbin' and no Vaseline that death certificate is dope album
HOW COULD THEY FORGET KOOL MOE DEE'S GO SEE THE DOCTOR? CUBED SAMPLED THE SONG FOR LOOK WHO'S BURNING.
Gotta agree that is the best westcoast album no doubt.
The short answer is YES!
I’m from St. Louis…my summer vacation was true…it’s alot of Rollin 60’s in St. Louis since 1990
Ice Cube easily owned the 90's. Great album others are talking about Pac but great as he was. He was not that level and albums did not have that depth as a whole. Scarface The World Is Yours another great album
Nwa last album 4Life. Alot of shyt said in these comments is not gangsta rap or the album as a whole wasn't all dat. Cube kilt it consistently had a great run💯🫡✌🏿🏄🏿
Cube is definitely a all time favorite. He didn't own those 90's too many classics. We Tang's 36 Chambers, Pac's Me Against The World which was number 1 on billboards , Mobb Deep's Infamous, Redman Muddy Waters, Biggie's Ready to Die & of course the Iconic arguably the greatest hiphop album of all time Nas Illmatic is unquestioned. Cube is definitely in the conversation but it was too many classics in 90's to compete with.
@@theresaahmad9015 You named some gud artist and great albums. When I say Cube owned the 90s. Im talking consistent platinum albums in a row Ice Cube and Cool J who else did dat shyt Short Dogg from Da Bay. Those artist u named didn't consistently come off, even Nas Illmatic didn't get its flowers until after. Pac antics along with jail help Me Against The World Sale. His previous efforts didnt. Not saying the album was bad because it was nice but again from the tyme Amerikkkas Most Wanted dropped Cube did it consistently.
@@charlesdobetta2287 Pac was consistently dropping albums. He dropped 5 albums from 1991 to 1996 & outsold Cube across the board by 10's of millions of copies. Pac outsold Cube, LL, & Short combined.
@@theresaahmad9015 no he didn't his first couple albums took years to go platinum. Me Against The World, was his first big album really because of him going to jail. He didn't touch no real money to Above the Rim
@@charlesdobetta2287 Nah Pac's second album went platinum Strickly For My Niggaz. he recorded it from 1992 to 93 released in 93 platinum by 95.Cube 2nd album was platinum quicker ,but thats it. 3rd album took 10 years to go double platinum. Me Against The World released in March 95 was platinum by April, 95 double platinum by December 1995, that's 8 months. Then All Eyez On Me was next up which was 2 albums , Pac actually outworked Cube in less time. Album for album Cube has Death Certificate at platinum quicker than Pac's Strickly, but Cube's Predator album doesn't compete with Me Against The World although it went platinum Pac was double platinum in 8 months much faster. By All Eyez On Me time Pac had the game completely locked & he had the Deathrow machine behind him.
Album changed my life at 11 years old. In my top 5 albums regardless
Soren is an encyclopedia.
Great hip hop historian.
Definitely 1 of em’🎯💯💯💯
It's up there Top ten, at least
2nd Best Dopest Album Ever Made 💯
Dying for a street, you never heard of
"Look Who's Burnin'" used samples from Kool Moe Dee "Go See the Doctor". Both DOPE songs!!!
I'm from St. Louis and to some it was a funny song but for us in St. Louis it was a true reality. The Cali cats really did put it down like that
Good answer 😊
😁"My Summer Vacation" fav. rap song of all time.
How dare you call that iconic reality poetry, gangster rap. What is on that album still applies today.
I AM A EAZY E. BONE THUGS FAN. IM A RUTHLESS RECORDS LOVING BONE FAN. BUT THE CHRONIC IS THE BEST. BETTER THAN DOGGY STYLE
DTW 4LIFE!!!
Yes
Street knowledge
Definitely a classic album. My Summer Vacation and Steady Mobbin we’re my favorite tracks. That being said I still consider Amerikkka’s Most Wanted as Cube’s best album.
Best album ever!! And I was ask lucky as a kid. I was like 11 years old kind of into hip hop but more radio shit, my sister, who was in high school or come over with her boyfriend and his best friend she would go make out with her boyfriend, and they would send the best friend to come over and keep me occupied while my sister was being a thot lol!! I thought he was my buddy lol back to the story he said that next to me and one of the days he was having a fake conversation. When he got up, I noticed he dropped a tape. It was the brand new Death Certificate that just came out. I’m waiting for him to leave. I snatched it up. Went to my room popped it in and I was hooked!! I played that tape till it was demolished and popped!! I can resight that whole album line for Line!! he came back, looking for his tape for next week. I told him no, my brother you got to get your own. Lol “house party “ no? Ok !!
YES IT IS the greatest album EVER!!Islam gang bangn he documented the spread of crack and la gangs tension with blacks and Asians that predates the 1992 LA riots and arguably one of the greatest diss tracks ever no Vaseline that dismantled the worlds most dangerous group, give the man his flowers 30 years later NY critics and others still HATE rip Khalid Muhammad
My summer vacation
Hit the SHIT ON POINT
Kool Moe Dee did Go See The Doctor first. Not as serious but still awareness.
Cube did in a more street style way kmd did it in a old school way
Don't forget about Kill at Will. Was just a few songs, but that mf was dope. Front 2 bac! 💯
Death Certificate was Cubes best album and it was definitely a 5 mic album. Cube was at his best when he was against the system. Cube was dropping banger after banger back in those days. With all that being said, the hardest rap album of all time was Niggaz4life IMO.
My top 5: 1-chronic 2-Death Certificate 3-CMW - music 2 driveby 4- doggystyle 5- above the law - black mafia life.
No skips. Classic. Watch out for the east coast though, they gonna say some dumb shit. Just like the track lol
Yeah I remember when Death Certificate came out. I thought he couldn't out do Amerikkka Most Wanted which was a masterpiece. Death Certificate is clearly one of those classic albums.
Y’all gonna chop these episodes up and make an actual list?
Hell no either chronic take your pick is the greatest
That’s your opinion
Bye Far it is
My opinion naw all cube albums dope he was one of the greatest rappers of all times ,along in there with public enemy, bdp ,, master spade beastie boys king tee and 411 ,, peace up yall😮
My summer vacation
Again, why Eiht and Ren never dropped a song?
50 Cent Get Rich or Die Tryin greatest rap album of all time
We come strapped, music to driveby,
*N.W.A/Niggaz Wit Attitude ( the late Eazy-E, MC Ren, Dr. Dre, The D.O.C & DJ Yella)* 1991 album *Niggaz4Life* , featuring Above The Law, the late C.P.O Boss Hogg, Kokane and Warren G was a wayyyy better Gangster Rap album than the *Ice Cube* 1991 album *Death Certificate* , featuring Kam, King T, J-Dee along with WC and the Maad Circle.
Speaking on Ice Cube's track summer vaction about the Crip and Blood migration, not all the the migration was smooth, seeing a lot of states in the South and MidWest, due to those areas already had Chicago based Folk Nation Gangster Disciples and to a lesser extent, People Nations Vice Lords.
Death certificate was more social commentary and political than n.w.a niggazlife album was more gangster
He'll. NO. KOOL G RAP. LIVE AND LET DIE IS THE BEST
Because a Bird in the hand is better than a Bush. So fing political it was starting to open my grimy ass.
I definitely passed up on a bunch of 🐈 just cuz I heard they had something...
If I can't find a way to politely tell a woman to get tested I just abort mission and head back to base 😂
These days, I Tell women ahead of Time if u wanna date me then know that our first date will be at a local clinic and we're both getting tested for all diseases.. Cuz I'm not taking u out spending money then I Find out u got something.. tf I spend my money on u for? Ok I'm not getting it back so to avoid All that we're going to the clinic our first date...
It's like buying a car.. i don't start investing money into a car I haven't purchased yet nor test drove first
. makes no sense.
Naw I gotta know what I'm getting before I make that purchase and spend my money..
Man this show just used to be so good! Man what happened!
Are people sleeping on predator?
Yes
I didn't know Will Ferrell was a hiphop guru...
Ice cube death certificate album isn't the greatest gangster rap album ever. It is the greatest hip-hop album ever ever talking about life! Even better than Nas Illmatic!
NWA........NIGGAZ 4 LIFE........BEST GANGSTA RAP ALBUM EVER
Aye I mess with this show for Real,But Steel Bruh you gotta STOP... Im from Cleveland born and raised, BCO's & DD's never turned to into Crips or Bloods.
Me against the world is the greatest rap album of all times(2pac)
Chronic and doggy style
@@moneymac5214 I got chronic #2 and doggystyle #3 for real
@@moneymac5214When The Chronic came out I thought it couldn't be topped but it hasn't aged as well as Doggystyle. I think T7DT is the goat album.
You talking rap albums right
Not a ridiculous take. You can argue MATW is the greatest hip hop album. It's somewhere in my top 10-15.
no
Sometimes Steel need to be quiet…
Ice cube death certificate is top 15 but not #1.
PAC got numbers 1, 2, 3. Then it’s CMW, Spice 1, NWA, Scarface, etc
HELL NAW
NO!!!
Go see the doctor
Lethal injection is better
Shout out to Cube...but he was never a gangsta.
Death Certificate is #1. All Eyez On Me is exactly that: a VANITY PROJECT.
No its not
Ice Cube was a studio Gangsta…
Who that got to with it making a classic albums back to back don’t be biased smh
Hell nall not even cube best album
