War & Peace, Vol. 2: The Peace Disc [PA] by Ice Cube

Pros: Shorter than its predecessor; a handful of good songs
Cons: Undistinguished gangsta rap; unclear theme; unnecessary skits; some lazy production toward the end

At least Ice Cube kept it shorter this time. The War Disc, the first part of the two-volume War & Peace series and the first solo Cube album of original material in five years, was a bloated affair, mainly hampered by shockingly poor ...

Pros: Another high-quality Ice Cube production! Glossy beats and hardcore rhymes.
Cons: His only solo album to never reach Platinum status...why?

"Hello...I started this gangsta sh*t...and this the mothafu*kin' thanks I get...??" These are some of the first words that open The Peace Disc, Volume 2 (2000), the highly-anticipated follow-up to Ice Cube's spectacular comeback release, ...

Pros: Funnier than Emenim, and some seriously tight beats and lyrics
Cons: Might not appeal to rap-virgins

Although I'm not a huge fan of rap music to the point that I'd purchase an entire rap album, I have to say that Ice Cube is hands-down my favorite rapper and probably always will be. He's been around for about fifteen years and that's really saying...

Pros: Hard driven beats, lots of bass, along with dance rhythms
Cons: Profanity, talk of drugs, talk of abuse

Ice Cube has long been one of the best Gangsta rappers. Whereas there are many wannabes out there, trying to sound hard, they usually end up sounding foolish. Ice Cube is not one of them.

Ice Cube's lyrics have a lot of profanity, but it...

Pros: it's Cube. Great grooves and lyrics
Cons: Cube should stick to gangsta rap

This disc has been touted the most anticipated record of 1999. I think it was also the most anticipated record of 2000. When something is 'most anticipated' that means many will be disappointed, die hard fans will be in love again, and the artist sells a...

Pros: very funky, great production
Cons: some filler

Following the somewhat successful Vol. 1 disk, Ice Cube satisfies hip-hop fans with his latest offering. "War and Peace Vol. 2" is one the the best rap albums so far this year, and certainly ranks as one of Cube's better works.

...

Pros: Great songs,featuring lots of celebrities.
Cons: Enormous amount of profanity .

I never really heard Ice Cube that much maybe one or two songs and I really like those songs. The day I heard he was coming out with a new album I was so happy, next week I went out and bought it. I didn’t really like it at the beginning but then...

Pros: Album is da bomb
Cons: there are 3 skits

Ice Cube once again reminds all of us why he is considered to be one of the best in the rap game. He starts off his album hard with "Hello" a cut he did with NWA members Dr.Dre and MC Ren. Continues on hard with "You Ain't Gotta Lie Ta...

Pros: Great Overall Album
Cons: Possibly Offensive Language

With all of the movies and promotions Ice Cube has done, one comes to wonder if he can still beat out the hit tracks he did through the late eighties and early nineties with hit albums like "Death Certificate" and "Lethal Injection"....

Pros: It's Ice Cube
Cons: The album is horrible

Contrary to popular belief, this one of Cube's worst albums. Not only id it very uncharacteristic, but it is no where near as hot as the War and Peace Vol. 1 (the war disc). This album was filled with unnecessary skits, and tracks that sound like they...

Pros: Has some good songs
Cons: Is a big disappointment, War is a lot better.

I was severely disappointed with this album. Not because it is a bad album, but Vol. 1 was so much better. This CD has two songs you can find somewhere else. “Hello” which will be on NWA’s new album, and “You can do it” which is on the “Next Friday”...
