Ice Cube

Ice Cube

Greatest Hits (Priority) A superior collection of post-NWA sides from the n***a ya (still) love to hate. Cube's ultra-graphic, frequently incendiary rhymes have always been among hip-hop's finest, whether on bellicose gangsta narratives ("Steady Mobbin'") or simply detailing the virtues of chillin' in the hood ("It Was a Good Day"). Greatest Hits also showcases his impeccable taste in producers, from the withering Bomb Squad blasts of 1991's AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted to '01's spookhouse Neptunes collaboration "In the Late Night Hour."
