Ice Cube's ferocious frown is familiar now from multiple big and small screen appearances, but as this collection reminds us, he's still first and foremost the thinking street thug's rapper, one of the original gangstas. GREATEST HITS isn't sequenced chronologically, jumping frantically from 1998's "Pushing Weight" to 1994's "Check Yo Self" with its "Message" backing track, to 1990's furious Public Enemy-influenced "Jackin' For Beats" (Ice Cube's departure from P.E.'s rivals N.W.A. presaged his hooking up with the Bomb Squad, Public Enemy's production team). But though the patchwork song list makes a clear overview of Cube's career difficult, it also makes for some thrilling twists and turns, for instance between the rowdy, early-'90s "The Nigga Ya Love to Hate" to the equally tumultuous but more sophisticated "Late Night Hour," recorded in 2001. What's obvious from even the most cursory overview of this set is Ice Cube's huge contribution to rap and hip-hop music, and over a decade's worth of unswerving dedication to putting his message across.

- Give Me A Break! (my name is O.I.)

This greatest hits album is a busting joke. They are missing so many hits from Ice Cube. They are Missing: It's A Man's World, Dead Homiez, Colorblind, No Vaseline, Wicked, How To Survive In South Central, Trespass, Really Doe, Natural Born Killaz, Ghetto Bird, LAst Wordz with 2pac, Westside Slaughterhouse,Higher, Friday, Greed, Chin Check, and Gurillas In Tha Mist. They are missing so many. Why are they acting so dumb? This should have been a 2 disc compilation, because all of the tracks that are missing equals another disc. Featuring...Ice Cube was better than this. Very disspointing.

- They forgot about the other Hits

For the club,this greatest hits Cd is okay, but for someone who grew up listening to the "Old" Ice Cube you gotta include hits like "Who's the Mack" "Dead Homies" "Wicked" , some hits off of Kill at Will, and Lethal Injection too. It should've been done like a box set because Ice Cube have so many jams.

- Bullshit.

This greatest hits album is so bad, it's not even funny. There are PLENTY of hits missing.These are the hits they are missing.

AMERIKKKA'S MOST WANTED (1990)

It's A Man's World (ft. Yo-yo)

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

KILL AT WILL EP

Dead Homiez

DEATH CERTIFICATE:

No Vaseline (Classic Diss, By The Way)

BOYZ N THE HOOD SOUNDTRACK:

HIGHER LEARNING SOUNDTRACK:

FRIDAY SOUNDTRACK:

Friday

2PAC's STRICTLY FOR MY N.I.G.G.A.Z Album:

Last Wordz- 2PAC (FT. ICE CUBE and ICE -T)

MACK 10's SELF-TITLED ALBUM:

Westside Slaughterhouse- Mack 10 (ft. Ice Cube and WC)

NEXT FRIDAY SOUNDTRACK:

Chin Check (The N.W.A. Reunion)

SCARFACE's THE DIARY Album:

Hand Of THe Dead Body- Scarface (ft. Ice Cube)

PUBLIC ENEMY's FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET Album:

Burn Hollywood Burn- Public Enemy (ft. Big Daddy Kane and Ice Cube)

And also, they should've included King Of THe Hill, the diss track Cube made referring to Cypress Hill.

This album has Ice Cube's main good hits, but are missing the deeper ones. For a person trying to buy this album, I suggest you get all four of the early Ice Cube Albums, and forget THe War Aad PEace Vol.1 and Vol.2 albums.

ANYWAY, WATCH OUT FOR ICE CUBE'S NEW ALBUM, LAUGH NOW, CRY LATER!

- Great Collection - Missing few songs

I like this greatest hits collection, but it's too obvious that few singles are missing, which would be "Really Doe", "Ghetto Bird", "Wicked" and "Friday". I could have done without "What Can I Do? Remix" and the two new songs.

Chronological order of the songs and the "We Be Clubbin' Remix" feat. DMX instead of the original would have been a cool addition as well. Other than that this collection is great, just shy of 5 stars. Ich Cube is one of the greatest. One

- MAYBE THE BEST RAPPER OUT TODAY.

Let me start off by saying that I think that 99 percent of hip hop today is pure and utter crap.However,there is that 1 percent of truly talented and good rappers out today.Im more into old school rap and he is probably the best ever.His beats and rhymes are very original unlike many rappers today.He also sings about many things in life unlike just rapping about bling bling and cars.This compilation is a good compilation with many of his classic hits.Its not a perfect compilation because its missing one or two songs,but its worth getting if you dont own all his albums.Thats it for now.
