  • Hip hop artist, record producer, actor, screenwriter, film producer, and director,
    Ice Cube, stopped by Sway in the Morning to promote his new movie, Ride Along, which is in theaters now.
    He explained to us why the funny movie, featuring Kevin Hart, was shelved for 10 years - and why the movie industry generates more income than the music industry.
    Transcending from the topic of film to music, Cube tells us that the NWA movie has gotten it's start, and that Dr. Dre is on board as a producer, and all rights were cleared from Eazy E's estate.
    Cube also tells us that he is working on his next album, Everythang's Corrupt, and reveals his personal list of the greatest...
    "Melly Mel, Rakim & Chuck D," he tells Sway.
    We couldn't let him leave without kicking a freestyle though! Watch above, plus catch his new movie, Ride Along, in theaters now.

    Ice Cube is one of the greatest rappers to do it. He's been in the game since the late 80s with NWA. Writing rhymes for himself & others... He was good all through the 90s & he had hits early 2000s. The man is a legend...

    He is so fine. I always wanted a man like him. He always says "quality of quantity" and I respect that. There was nothing like the Summer of '92/'93 in L.A. Ice Cube's music would always be in the background somewhere. We need to stop pretending like we don't understand what happened to music. If you're over 28 and don't get it, you probably never will. We need variety again though. Ya'll can have 2 Chains and them, but let Cube and Nas get airplay too.

      ***** Rakim and Chuck D are both rap Gods that I got the up most respect for. I was going by my list of and I did buy 1 public enemy album when i got into to rap in the early 90's but I wasn't as into them as I was the other artist on my list. I'd feel fake putting them on my top 10 when I didn't listen to them everyday and buy every album of theres that came out like I did with Cube, Dogg Pound, Eminem, Kurupt, Snoop, 2pac, etc.
      If some one put Chuck D or Rakim in there top 10 I's respect that and could not argue about it. Both of those guys are 500 times better then a lil wayne, Drake, or flacka flame.

      ***** very true man, ive heard all those albums and I can't say that I've never heard anything from Rakim or PE that I thought was wack. I grew up with a group of friends and we all love hip hop, I was the one dud in the group that just spent my money on West coast artist. for 10 years thats really all i bought till Em came out, since then, I have opened my mind (and wallet) up to artist all over the country. for ablums that have come out this year my CD player has only 2 albums in it, Kendrick's To Pimp a Butterfly and G unit's The Beast is G uint. Here is what is weird about the new G unit.....I was a huge fan of 50 when he first came out, his 1st 3 albums i thought were flawless but the I don't understand how his new shit is hip hop generic but the new G unit stuff is just awesome.

    @Gasclubcdub 9 лет назад +93

    top 5
    - tupac (king of gansta rap)
    - nas (best lyricist of all time)
    - big L (best freestyler ever)
    - eminem (changed rap, and will never be forgotten)
    - AZ (great all around artist)

      @johnsun6418 9 лет назад +5

      Chris Waldron nas i agree with, but most lf L's stuff isn't freestyle but written prior, i'd say eminem is better off the top, as far as AZ, he lacks depth, dope lyricist but never transitioned outside the underground, and tupac, being the best gangster rapper is debatable but he's up there
      in my opinion i think scarface is the best gangster rapper
      nas has the best lyrics
      eminem or biggie, best freestyles
      2pac will never be forgotten
      jay z greatest all round, considering his long jevity, consistency since reasonable doubt

    I'm 41 years of age and I've been listening to Hip Hop since it began in the late 70s. I've heard a lot of good rappers but I don't place all rappers in the same category. I'm not talking about style and I'm not even talking about genre. I'm talking about type. In my research, I've discovered that there are three types of rappers (Lyricists, Poets and for lack of a better word Flowists) Lyricists are the wordsmiths who you can tell are highly literate. Most of them speak to your intellect. Their raps are designed to make you focus on their words often to the detriment of their beats and instrumental. Next there are the Poets. Poets are abstract. They speak to your heart and make you feel their words or they'll rap in a way that make you have to think twice about what you think you're hearing by expressing their points with clever arrangements of words, sentences and phrases. Then there are the Flowists. They are expert at blending with beats and instrumentals. They rap like they're surfing on the beat. They usually have really good cadences that sound so good you may not care about what they're saying. I'm going to list the top ten Lyricists and then the top five Poets and Flowists. I'm interested in other people's opinion on my take.
    Lyricists: 1. K Rino 2. Rakim 3. Nas 4. Brutha Lynch Hung 5. Jada Kiss 6. Jay Z 7.Eminem 8. Scarface 9. Ice Cube 10. J Cole Honorable Mention: KRS ONE, Biggie Smalls, Ghost Face Killer, Method Man, Hopsin and Lil Kim
    Poets: 1. Tupac 2. Kendrick Lamar 3. Wise Intelligent 4. Lauryn Hill 5. DMX Honorable Mention: Method Man, Brother J (from X-Clan) and Lil Wayne
    Flowists: 1. E-40 2. 50 Cent 3. Busy Bone 4. Twista 5. Yella Wolf Honorable Mention: Nicki Minaj
    On a side note: Many Dance Hall artists are just as good or better than a lot of rappers but I won't list them today.

    Tupac- he spoke about real issues and everyone with a pulse has gotta have respect for him
    Eazy-E- if it wasn't for NWA rap would be alot different
    Eminem- one of the best freestylers and lyricists ever plus he changed the game
    Jay z- you just can't fuck with Jay z
    Also Biggie, Nas, Nelly, Redman, Andre 3000, Kurupt, 50 Cent, D12, Wiz, Snoop, Ll Cool J, Dr Dre and Method Man are/were dope.

    The thing Sway is missing about Cube is that unlike most other rappers, Cube wrote and produced his own movies. So he could spin the character the way he wants- knowing that it can relate to consumers and present his persona as whatever character. All of the characters he plays has that Cube edge, so it's believable. Pac was kind of like that too, and would have been bigger if he was still alive, and if he wrote his own movies.
