Ice Cube: The Essentials (Remastered) Review

Written on October 8, 2008 Wood Ice Cube

I’ve got a friend who never got into the whole rap thing. He’s kind of a chump, but he’s got a good heart. My buddy likes the emo shit and alt-rock. The only rap album he’s every purchased was Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em.

My friend recently had a birthday so I got him a copy of Ice Cube The Essentials (Remastered) to try and get him up to speed. I’ve been an Ice Cube fan for a long time. Cube has a huge catalog of amazing songs so I wince when people try and put out “Best Of” albums. To my surprise, Ice Cube The Essentials (Remastered) is a great little compilation.

My problem with most “Best of” albums is they focus too much on one part of an artist’s career. This isn’t the case with The Essentials. It’s got a good selection of great tracks from each point in Cube’s career. If you’re looking for a nice album to introduce somebody to Ice Cube, I’d recommend getting Ice Cube The Essentials (Remastered). The only problem now is my friend thinks he’s a super gangster, but hey I guess that’s better than having him weeping over a bitch while listening to emo.
