Ice Cube - Why We Thugs

Sorry Cube, but not I gotta wet 'cha. A tune about slugs, thugs and drugs with 'Fiddy' hand-claps and a weak Dre clone handling the production was never really going to fly now, was it? Socially aware lyricism is cancelled out by tired and mindless tough guy bravado and a squealing which faintly recalls Ghetto Bird's far grittier aesthetic. Hopefully the title to his forthcoming seventh album 'Laugh Now, Cry Later' isn't as apt as this first cut suggests. Come on Cube, son, chiggidy check yo self before you wriggidy wreck yo self, 'cos nonsensical singles is bad for your wealth. [Johnny Langlands]
