Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not as raw as he used to be but still abrasive
Let's face it- Ice Cube's cultural relevance has waned. While hood ills grip urban America just as they did 20 years ago, Ice Cube's poetic hatred has lost some of its fire. In "Raw Footage," Cube continually makes excuses for urban ills, blaming society, the white man, prisons, etc. He's just lobbing darts as the oppressor's dartboard, and while he's right to a point, he doesn't seem as hard on the hood for reveling and glorifying the poison that keeps the vicious cycle oiled (though "Hood Mentality" is a notable exception). Otherwise, he just raps about defending his livelihood and how other MCs can't touch his "pyroclastic flow."

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 5 star album
This album was really good have always like Ice cube's stuff no matter what....still a big fan! Also recently checked out some new stuff from Lil Keke "Seven 13 Hustlaz" that joint is also another hott album from an older generation...pick it up!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Casi un clasico!!!
Muy interesante propuesta de ICE, alejandose de los ritmos de Death Certificate y parecidos. Vale la mucho la pena. Ritmo piroplastico



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - solid lyrics, weak sound, emotionally weak
The lyrics are still solid, but the sound is--thin. The anger and energy of the early albums is missing and the production sounds hasty and weak. Even a bunch of studio session musicians would have been an improvement. Sure rap depends primarily on the lyrics, but if the sound is boring, who's listening? The riffs are generic and it sounds like 1980s synth a lot of the time.
