Can't argue with that. Gay-Z may be a billionaire but he can't deny that the majority of his success is because of the death of Biggie Smalls. When Biggie died, Gay-Z tried to take his spot as king. But Nas checked his ass and reminder him that he will always be in Biggie's shadow.
@@cole9777 yo if you a real 90s hip hop addict then you would respect jay z, if somebody in your town is a hot rapper and your a rapper too who’s from the same city as them and they die what else you supposed to do? Quit your career? Don’t blame jay z success on biggies death cause jay z is regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, if he was really wack as you say he is, than why does he have so much respect in the industry? You ain’t a real 90s hip hop fan, plus jay z wrote Still Dre and I bet you bop the shit out of that so before you call him “gay z” just remember who wrote one of dr dre’s biggest songs 😂
@@cole9777 lol 🤡 Jay-Z is a Billionaire. Jay-Z is the king of Rap! Ice Cube was a fraud that pretended to be a gangsta and was raised up in a upper middle class family. 🤷🏿♂️
Ice Cube is one of the rappers who achieved extreme mainstream success without ever really changing who he really is. The teenage Ice Cube of the 80s (NWA) is really the same as the 40-something-year-old legendary figure. The question is who really in hip hop in their prime was ever better than Cube?
LL Cool J , also he shows versatility in his acting career and he's still active , too bad he s sooooooooo underrated. He should have a Hollywood star asap
matubaM that war and piece 1 & 2 fucked up his discography though. Even though I liked lethal injection, it was a slump coming off of the predator. With cube also saying that lethal injection was made to prove that he didn't go soft, cube definitely changed from NWA to today.
Jay was popping when big was alive . He just got bigger after big death because he has to hold the throne down for bk and go hard like he been and still doing. Much love to ice cube he is very talented and him and hay are both successful business man
NWA doesnt have an ice cube diss track. Taking a shot at somebody in one line in a verse of a song doesnt make the song a diss track. A message to benedict arnold was the closest they did to a diss track but a skit still isnt really a track in that sense. I think they really could have roasted cube and matched no vaseline , with their creativity combined, and cube would really have made a good target, as phony as his whole get down was.... But how could they be mad at cube for leaving NWA when everybody was leaving. he didnt shut them up, the group disbanded. If dre, ren, the d.o.c. and eazy got together to roast cube lyrically and musically they would have roasted his ass, you can see it in those home videos how they clowned him, they would have came up with something devastating musically
Nah he gets his respect it's just his beef with DJ quik that took him down a couple notches cuz quik bodied eiht in every single diss track during their 6-8 year beef
Cube first 3 albums was one of the best runs in hip hop, Death Certificate is the best hip hop album of all time IMO, he touched on every subject the black man go through, and it's still relevant now, he was way ahead of its time
vondrae hawkins Well said. Now that I am in my late 20's and understand what life is really about, I view and consume music differently. Cube's music from 27 years ago is still relevant today. Many of Jay's albums have not aged well.
Death Certificate is my #3 album of all time and I'm from the east coast. Only albums I take over that is Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back and Slick Rick - Great Adventures. Cube is in my top 5 if I had to make one and the best from the west coast.
Ahmad Robertson The production on Amerikkka's Most Wanted was better. But the rhymes, story telling, subject matter, album cohesiveness was much better on Death Certificate.
Ahmad Robertson Were the same exact age so are memories are on par. I'm from Boston MA. I always ask myself if I could only listen to three hip hop albums again what would they be. In order Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Slick Rick - Great Adventures of Slick Rick, IceCube - Death Certificate.
Definitely a GOAT 🐐 ADD THAT TO THE FACT HE WENT PLAT A BUNCH OF TIMES TIMES THAT BY HIS INFLUENCE ON POP CULTURE IM SUPPOSED TO BE NUMBER ONE ON EVERYBODY LIST SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I NO LONGER EXIST “Hov”
Jay had an smoother flow, but with Cube in his prime you could close your eyes and he'd paint a vivid, accurate depiction of LA life that you could actually viualize
And Jay-Z painted a vivid picture 4 us on the east coast. I think that's something a lot of people dont get. We lived the life he was speaking on, its not a knock on Cube but he is not the lyricist that Jay is, not by a long shot. You cant say he was better than DMX or Big Pun or Big Daddy Kane or KRS or LL Cool J. That was some of the BEST lyrical dudes in the game, hell I didn't even put down a dozen other cats that are better lyricists than Cube, again not a knock but ya'll tryna 2 make him out 2 be the best & he really ain't, just sayin 💁🏾♂️💁🏾♂️💁🏾♂️💁🏾♂️
We lost so many great rappers - Eazy E, Biggie, 2Pac,... I'm just happy Ice Cube survived all the shit and we get to see & hear him today. He never let the gangsta rap down. Real OG.
Jay Z was the lil' homie to Jaz-O, Big Daddy Kane, Irv Gotti, Biggie... and was lucky that Big L, Pac, Biggie and Pun all died. DMX was better than him in the early 2Ks, tbh. Cube was his own man from jump. No way in hell would Jay "take over" shit on the East if the aforementioned legends had kept living and X didn't succumb to drugs. #overrated

from 1988 - 1995 before the 1st friday movie came out, ice cube was the dopest mc i ever heard. krs-one, rakim, were close on his tail. nas, biggie, pac werent on those guys level yet in 1995. once friday came out and cube got rich, his anger, aggression & hunger were gone.
Still as big as Jay Z is..ppl keep talking about how beyonce has bigger hits!..So If it was Beyonce and Ice Cube...than Cube would totally be called Mr. beyonce rather than recognized for being a GOAT.
@@decil2156 Amerikkkas Nightmare is legendary but it can't be better than Cube's shit because all of the features killed Spice. 2Pac, Method Man & E-40 had better verses on their songs ijs.
I was going to say he was wrong but then I thought about it....thats a tough one. Cube was doing street music AND POLITICAL music. im speaking on prime status now Cube prime 88-96 Jay 99-06. do ya research but i cant decide. Let the debate begin
MaskedAvenger13 Reasonable Doubt The Blueprint The Black Album American Gangster 4:44 Vol 1 Amerikkas Most Wanted Death Certificate The Predator Lethal Injection Laugh Now Cry Later Raw Footage
GAmacBoi478 jay z had many platinum albums and has money but were his albums actually GOOD , I tried bumping all of his albums and only about 3-4 of them were actually solid
Theirs no need Ice Cube wins easy their is nothing in Jay Z catalog touching Ice Cube in prime easy Straight Outta Compton , Easy Duz It , Amerikkka's , Kill At Will Ep , Dead , Predator and Lethal Injection Shit You Better Come On In I dont even have to look at Jay what Life and Time 3 The Dynasty
Rick James Numbers do lie. Jay always had a machine behind him called Def Jam. Also, Jay is the master of inflating album sales. 4:44 went Platinum because of his deal with Sprint. I do not count those as "real" album sales.
Don't know bro, Reasonable Doubt was his debut album and is considered one of the best of all time. He was elite out the gate, but yes, having Biggie die definitely help to separate him from the heap in NY. May have turned out different for him without Biggie's death...

Ice Cube really underrated, Amrikkaz Most Wanted one of the greatest album of all time, straight Hiroshimaaaa!!! I dont see any Jay album on AMW or Death Certificate level.
Not one single jay z album has ever had a real affect on my life.....ice cube, n.w.a however i was banging all that shit......there's always been something about Jay i just cant vibe with....my opinion before people wanna start an argument for no reason
Never understood all the Jay hype either. So many other rappers with better flow and better rhymes. In no particular order, Method man, gza, Snoop, cube, em, kurupt, dub c, biggie, rbx, andre nickatina and on and on haha Also just my opinion.
Scuzzlebutt91 Jay z is an arrogant successful Black man....sorta like Floyd some ppl conditioned to hate him...the ppl they claim better couldn't pack a Waffle House
@@mo2k638 I'm not really sure what color he is has anything to do with how talented he is. I'm also pretty sure all of the people I mentioned could pack a waffle house 😂
@@mo2k638 Floyd is the best technical boxer of all time. People hate him because he hits women and for several other reasons. He brings the hate on himself.
ICE CUBE:The most prolific rapper-writer of all time!Leave it alone,my uncles have been pimps,killers,& gangsters but it all came from growing up seeing nothing but pain!Hearing Cubes voice for the first time felt like i was hearing all of them for the first time expressing how they really felt about this country intelligently & loudly.He changed my life along with Dr.king,Ali,& Malcolm X.
When the Everythang's Corrupt album dropped, it was the first album I've been really excited to listen to in a long time. Also Cube over Jay Z all day, everyday.
Cube always had more consistent albums compared to Jay. After Cube left NWA from 1990 to 1993, Cube dropped Amerikkkas Most Wanted, Death Certificate, The Predator, and Lethal Injection. Don’t get me wrong, Reasonable Doubt is better than all of those albums, but after Reasonable Doubt Jay dropped In My Lifetime Vol. 1, Hard Knock Life Vol. 2, and Vol.3, The Life and Times of S. Carter. If we’re talking Reasonable Doubt against Death Certificate, Jay wins, but if we’re talking an extended period of time, Cube wins. Overall I have Jay above Cube in my all time list though. But hey, that’s just my opinion.
I’m from California and disagree with this video . Im a fan of ice cube but nothing in cubes arsenal could touch any of hov’s shit lyrically and I mean that with the upmost respect .Reasonable doubt is a perfect example . “Can I live” alone proves my point . And jay wasn’t even in his prime yet .
Jay's first album was a CLASSIC, thats hard to do. not to take anything away from cube because he did some really memorable shit and played the game smart af. Jay as an artist on the other hand had more hits, longer track record, never got fucked out of his money and stayed consistent until the early 2000s. but opinions are opinions.
Amerikkkas most wanted was the first album I ever heard that made my mother say "WTF is that!?" Cube set the standard for super lyrical violent oriented street music. He was east and west. Changed the game IMO
I grew up listening to Cube and he was crazy hot No Vaseline is one of my all time favorites but I’m rocking with Jay. He’d drop a album in the summer and nobody would dare to or get smashed. He held down the summer for 7 years and we all rocked them. He dropped and album during 9/11 and sold over 400k in the first week, that alone shows how hot Jay was
For those who aren't too familiar of Ice Cube. I suggest you listen to his first 3 albums. Forget about his movies, just listen to his lyrics. The shit he was spitting back then is still relevant to what’s going today! #Facts
Shout out to Ice Cube he is one of the GREATS, but in the words of Hov. “Next time we have a discussion who the G.O.A.T., you donkeys know this… Forgive me, that's my passion talkin'. Sometimes I feel like Farrakhan, talkin' to Mike Wallace (Haha) I think y'all should keep quiet!!”
People need to separate Jay's business success and Hip Hop. As a business man Jay has done great things and has gotten worldwide notoriety for it and good for him. As a rapper/Hip Hop artist, dude has ALWAYS been overrated! Has to be in Top 10 all time most overrated rappers list.
I think many people hate on Jay because he became a pop star and his music got a little weaker as a result. But you have to focus on his first 3 albums and the American Gangster album. Cube is great one of my favorites.
See Jay Z is a good rapper the problem is his fucking fans tend to over hype him as if he's the only nigga that can rap,its plenty of other rappers that are just as good as him and better and Cube is one of them, I listen to Jayz but his fans make me hate him at times but I must admit this 4:44 album is dope as fuck
Cube was, is, and will always be the goat when it comes to gangster rap! Dude was on another level! I was exposed to "Straight Outta Compton" when I was 5 years old when it came out, and that shit still goes hard! Respect to Cube!
Half the goofys that say Ice Cube ain't better than Jay don't even listen to Ice Cube. Ice Cube in his prime was RUNNING the game.
Kansas City Chief Exactly. They really need to do their homework.
that was 3 decades ago lol
Kansas City Chief Not just cube, what about Westside connection? That group was the shit! Where's Jay Z's group?
Nethan Lock Jays ego was too big for a group. Lol
Exactly there was supposed to be a group with Jay, Ja Rule, and DMX but that shit was over before it even started.
Ice Cube wrote on Eazy-E's first album too. His pen was heavy for NWA too. Cube is top 5

I think Mc EIHT and Dj Quik shud do a cd together
You mean album lol
cube was hard af! steady mobbin is everything
4:51 is monumental everyone. This is the first time Vlad ever said some real shit and it made sense at the same time. Shout out to Vlad for finally not bullshittin for a minute. I know it felt good. You should do it more often.
from 1988 - 1995 before the 1st friday movie came out, ice cube was the dopest mc i ever heard. krs-one, rakim, were close on his tail. nas, biggie, pac werent on those guys level yet in 1995. once friday came out and cube got rich, his anger, aggression & hunger were gone.
Comparing Jay to Cube is foolish, he is not just Ice Cube, he is also an NWA.
If Ice Cube was married to Beyoncé he would be universally considered the 🐐.
He ALREADY was a 🐐
Still as big as Jay Z is..ppl keep talking about how beyonce has bigger hits!..So If it was Beyonce and Ice Cube...than Cube would totally be called Mr. beyonce rather than recognized for being a GOAT.

Best ice cube albums
stokely carmichael all better than any Jay z album
Spice 1’s Amerikkka’s nightmare is better than either one of any of their albums
All 🔥
Douglas Rodenbach eh
@@decil2156 Amerikkkas Nightmare is legendary but it can't be better than Cube's shit because all of the features killed Spice. 2Pac, Method Man & E-40 had better verses on their songs ijs.
I always say, nobody will ever have a better rap career run than Cube from 1988-1993. Don't get me wrong, War & Peace Vol. 1 is still a CLASSIC
I was going to say he was wrong but then I thought about it....thats a tough one. Cube was doing street music AND POLITICAL music. im speaking on prime status now Cube prime 88-96 Jay 99-06. do ya research but i cant decide. Let the debate begin
Cube has a few classics on his own and a classic with NWA. Jay-Z has RD and a bunch of mainstream slush.

GAmacBoi478 jay z had many platinum albums and has money but were his albums actually GOOD , I tried bumping all of his albums and only about 3-4 of them were actually solid
Theirs no need Ice Cube wins easy their is nothing in Jay Z catalog touching Ice Cube in prime easy Straight Outta Compton , Easy Duz It , Amerikkka's , Kill At Will Ep , Dead , Predator and Lethal Injection Shit You Better Come On In I dont even have to look at Jay what Life and Time 3 The Dynasty
Rick James Numbers do lie. Jay always had a machine behind him called Def Jam. Also, Jay is the master of inflating album sales. 4:44 went Platinum because of his deal with Sprint. I do not count those as "real" album sales.
Cube is tha GREATEST Rapper Breathing. 💯
Ice Cube words where so heavy and they punched you in the jaw .
Ice Cube in my mind was the first rapper to have “The Crown”. That era between NWA era and the Death Row era is all Ice Cube.
No comparison... 2 different styles of music... love them both..
It is a comparison..I think overall..Cube was better
Cube was flames🔥 out the gate.
Jay-Z grew into his position over time.
Don't know bro, Reasonable Doubt was his debut album and is considered one of the best of all time. He was elite out the gate, but yes, having Biggie die definitely help to separate him from the heap in NY. May have turned out different for him without Biggie's death...
Best Prime Rappers Ever.....
Ice Cube
2pac
Biggie
Snoop Dogg
50 Cent
Dmx
Nas
Scarface
Such a typical list
Ice Cube is the best ever!!!!!
Who the fuck said that Jay Z in his prime was better than Ice Cube ? That's fucking hilarious...
get C Bo on here.....
Rico Suave Rapper C Bo
Rico Suave for real, he will make it happen...
Bo is just too much for most people. Never seen a white person bumping CBO
Zachary Holguin if he had brotha lynch on here, I don't see why not C Bo..
Yo I'd love to see an update on Bo-Loc.

Ice cube is way better than Jay-z
Cube speaks about the truth, real gangsta sh””””
Jay speaks about Brooklyn. Just say you don't understand it like I don't know that LA gang shit. Cube is speaking what he knows and Jay is speaking what he knows
MC Eiht has such a global and enlightened perspective on things. Who would guess that from a Compton Crip? Age brings wisdom.
AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and Death Certificate greatest albums ever!!!!
Jay rapped over Isaac Hayes on Can I Live which was inspired by Mc Eiht song Hood Den Took Me Under
It was inspired by the movie Dead Presidents which was released the same year. Issac Hayes was the opening song.
MC Eiht and Tray Deee easily the 2 best interviews on here
AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
I've never once anticipated a Jay-Z album, but hey that's me, 39 all hip hop.
Only white people anticipate Jay-Z album cause beyonce is going to be on that shit.
Ice Cube really underrated, Amrikkaz Most Wanted one of the greatest album of all time, straight Hiroshimaaaa!!! I dont see any Jay album on AMW or Death Certificate level.
Not one single jay z album has ever had a real affect on my life.....ice cube, n.w.a however i was banging all that shit......there's always been something about Jay i just cant vibe with....my opinion before people wanna start an argument for no reason
Never understood all the Jay hype either. So many other rappers with better flow and better rhymes. In no particular order, Method man, gza, Snoop, cube, em, kurupt, dub c, biggie, rbx, andre nickatina and on and on haha Also just my opinion.
Scuzzlebutt91 Jay z is an arrogant successful Black man....sorta like Floyd some ppl conditioned to hate him...the ppl they claim better couldn't pack a Waffle House
@@mo2k638 I'm not really sure what color he is has anything to do with how talented he is. I'm also pretty sure all of the people I mentioned could pack a waffle house 😂
@@mo2k638 Floyd is the best technical boxer of all time. People hate him because he hits women and for several other reasons. He brings the hate on himself.
Scuzzlebutt91 none of them dudes you named except a nas is better and maybe but really eminem ?? Gtfoh 😂😂
What list are they talking about in the beginning
How do u watch the full interview?
Ice Cube will forever be better than Jay-Z but Ice Cube is better than a lot of rappers.
Cube is not good sorry to disappoint u
I liked MC Eiht in his prime better than both Cube and Jay in their prime combined.
Jayz wrote still Dre! Y'all bugging!
Ice cube was already a legend by 1997💯
ICE CUBE:The most prolific rapper-writer of all time!Leave it alone,my uncles have been pimps,killers,& gangsters but it all came from growing up seeing nothing but pain!Hearing Cubes voice for the first time felt like i was hearing all of them for the first time expressing how they really felt about this country intelligently & loudly.He changed my life along with Dr.king,Ali,& Malcolm X.
Ice Cube in any time was and is better than Jay in any time. Period.
Ice Cube Amerikkka's Most Wanted & Death Certificate are best rap albums ever.
Matter of fact they're Cube's best albums ever!!
When the Everythang's Corrupt album dropped, it was the first album I've been really excited to listen to in a long time. Also Cube over Jay Z all day, everyday.
If Tupac and Biggie hadn't passed away, Jay Z would probably not be where he is now.
Cube always had more consistent albums compared to Jay. After Cube left NWA from 1990 to 1993, Cube dropped Amerikkkas Most Wanted, Death Certificate, The Predator, and Lethal Injection. Don’t get me wrong, Reasonable Doubt is better than all of those albums, but after Reasonable Doubt Jay dropped In My Lifetime Vol. 1, Hard Knock Life Vol. 2, and Vol.3, The Life and Times of S. Carter. If we’re talking Reasonable Doubt against Death Certificate, Jay wins, but if we’re talking an extended period of time, Cube wins. Overall I have Jay above Cube in my all time list though. But hey, that’s just my opinion.
Eiht summed up a whole movie with one rap. I'll go out like a straight up menace.
I think all of California is in these comments smh lol
You are hilarious sir!
You must didn’t listen to classic cube he was a beast and yes I’m from California
I’m from California and disagree with this video . Im a fan of ice cube but nothing in cubes arsenal could touch any of hov’s shit lyrically and I mean that with the upmost respect .Reasonable doubt is a perfect example . “Can I live” alone proves my point . And jay wasn’t even in his prime yet .
Brooklyn in the house .but it is a lot of hate for new York and on Jay I see . Topical
@@angelf66 👋
I'm looking forward to the new Ice Cube album!!!
Cube ACTUALLY rapped about street ishh, frustration, & poverty. Jay is purely 90210 rap.
What is Eiht's tattoo of on his face??
Jay-Z had some bangers but Ice Cube has a library of records you could play from start to finish on repeat. 💯
@seanlassiter2260nah fam jay z is unoriginal copying rappers like P, Nas and Big L
Jay's first album was a CLASSIC, thats hard to do. not to take anything away from cube because he did some really memorable shit and played the game smart af. Jay as an artist on the other hand had more hits, longer track record, never got fucked out of his money and stayed consistent until the early 2000s. but opinions are opinions.
David Scott Jay got air play on the radio, Cube got zero in his prime.
A Fucked Up Childhood...
Justin Stone a song of him straight up menace
Just Ky is why the way I am. It's got me in a state where I don't give a.... damn.
NoNameforNow chea
I have a feeling that Jay Z wasn’t really popular in the 90’s
Duh! The 90s was Pac and Biggie ruling. Jay was an afterthought.
Amerikkkas most wanted was the first album I ever heard that made my mother say "WTF is that!?" Cube set the standard for super lyrical violent oriented street music. He was east and west. Changed the game IMO
I grew up listening to Cube and he was crazy hot No Vaseline is one of my all time favorites but I’m rocking with Jay. He’d drop a album in the summer and nobody would dare to or get smashed. He held down the summer for 7 years and we all rocked them. He dropped and album during 9/11 and sold over 400k in the first week, that alone shows how hot Jay was
They both top 5. I lean Jay because it was in my era, high school/college. When Cube was really popping i was a little ass kid...
Never bought a JayZ CD and never will ...dont understand the hype and hes also a weirdo.
Hes overrated.. its mostly white people who listen to him cause of beyonce.
@@chrisgee2616 i cant even say j-z song...and im old enough...not heard much of him in the west coast but cube? He is a legend..
Motor Sportz me three, never understood his appeal
Chris Gee TROLL LEVEL 10000000
Puffy sold Biggie's book of rhymes to Jay-Z, people don't know about that
Jay Z's wordplay on RD was LIGHT YEARS ahead of its time. RD is crazy lyrical y'all don't even know!
For those who aren't too familiar of Ice Cube. I suggest you listen to his first 3 albums. Forget about his movies, just listen to his lyrics. The shit he was spitting back then is still relevant to what’s going today! #Facts
Amerikkka’s Most Wanted, Kill at will, Death Certificate is the holy trilogy. Dude was indeed untouchable.
Jay-Z is the most overrated rapper of all time.
No he's not dumbfuck
2PAC !!!
Accurate!
MC Hammer >jay z
Boogie Dude you're opinion < anything else in the universe
Boogie Dude lil yachty > Jay Z
mc Eiht better than both them fools! Gyeah. haha

“Next time we have a discussion who the G.O.A.T., you donkeys know this… Forgive me, that's my passion talkin'. Sometimes I feel like Farrakhan, talkin' to Mike Wallace (Haha) I think y'all should keep quiet!!”
hey homie u need some help
Idk what the hype behind jays music has been I liked the blueprint but that was it
KevinLG1990 people just see money and Beyoncé
Blueprint and Black Album were the only Jay Z albums I actually bought.... Then Nas ate him up with Ether
People need to separate Jay's business success and Hip Hop. As a business man Jay has done great things and has gotten worldwide notoriety for it and good for him. As a rapper/Hip Hop artist, dude has ALWAYS been overrated! Has to be in Top 10 all time most overrated rappers list.
I think many people hate on Jay because he became a pop star and his music got a little weaker as a result. But you have to focus on his first 3 albums and the American Gangster album. Cube is great one of my favorites.
Based on what lol.
See Jay Z is a good rapper the problem is his fucking fans tend to over hype him as if he's the only nigga that can rap,its plenty of other rappers that are just as good as him and better and Cube is one of them, I listen to Jayz but his fans make me hate him at times but I must admit this 4:44 album is dope as fuck
Cube was, is, and will always be the goat when it comes to gangster rap! Dude was on another level! I was exposed to "Straight Outta Compton" when I was 5 years old when it came out, and that shit still goes hard! Respect to Cube!
