From Amazon.com
Nearly a decade into his career, Ice Cube remains at the forefront of gangsta rap--but when it comes to manipulating sounds, he sometimes seems one-dimensional, especially when compared with the likes of Snoop Doggy Dogg (who had a lot of help in that department from Cube's old N.W.A. mate Dr. Dre) and sample master Sean "Puffy" Combs. But on War & Peace, Vol. 1, Cube's first album in five years, the hip-hop renaissance man reestablishes himself as a kingpin in the studio as well as on the street. Every song is surrounded by minor-key melodies and moody flourishes that enhance the effect of the intimidating lyrics, and the overall sound of the mix is rich and deep. Cube doesn't stop there, however, adding touches such as a No Doubt sample loop on "War and Peace" and a queasy guitar riff on "F**k Dying," compliments of neo-metal marauders Korn. Ice Cube plans to follow up The War Disc with The Peace Disc, which he says will be mellower and more ethereal, but for now, Cube remains the hardest in the game. --Jon Wiederhorn

Customer Reviews

ICE CUBE AT HIS BEST
This is easily Ice Cubes best album. The recordings are very crisp with solid bass and treble, and the rapping is superb. This is one of my favorite albums of all time along with 2Pacs-Don Killumanti, Dr Dre's-2001, Snoop Dog's-Doggy Style, Nas's-Illmatic/Stillmatic, Wu Tang's-Greatest Hits Etc. An absolute classic. If you like HIP-HOP/Rap BUY IT!

ice cube is racist
give me dre snoop eminem and co. any time. give me cypress hill any day. they all have talent and talk sence. ice cube on the other hand is an ignorant piece of excrament. thinks he is all high and mighty and instead of doing a tune cussin readnecks he does a tune cussin all white dudes. who does this make the racist cube? be more inventive and stop trying to act u sell out

NOT Cube At His Best
Some of these reviews are stupid. This is Cube well into his career and NOT at his best. It's a good album, and it's nice to have for a real Ice Cube fan, but if you don't have them go for these first :

Ice Cube - AmeriKKKas Most Wanted
Ice Cube - Death Certificate
Ice Cube - The Predator
Ice Cube - War & Peace Volume 2 - The Peace Album
N.W.A. (Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, MC Ren, DJ Yella) - Straight Outta Compton)
Westside Connection (Ice Cube, Mack 10, W.C.) - Bow Down

Then get this. Trust me.
