Ice Cube Laugh Now Cry Later Full Album 12




Rappers hoping to age gracefully don't have many established career-paths to follow. Rap moves fast, and it doesn't have a whole lot of reverence for its pioneers. That's why you hear rappers as young as Bow Wow talking about retirement-- they know that their audience will retire them if they don't first gracefully bow out. A few career paths are already in place: Rappers can become actors (Ice-T, Queen Latifah), they can associate themselves with reality shows (Flavor Flav, DJ Run), or they can launch sad attempts at comeback albums (LL Cool J, Brand Nubian). That's about it. Ice Cube has done all three.

The solo Da Game Is to Be Sold Not to Be Told, Snoop's first effort for No Limit, followed in 1998;No Limit Top Dogg appeared a year later, and Dead Man Walkin' the year after that. Tha Last Meal followed in December of that same year. The heavy release schedule resulted in varying musical quality from album to album, but by the turn of the century, Snoop had become such a cultural phenomenon that his albums became almost secondary to the personality behind them. An autobiography appeared in 2001, followed by a stream of movie roles in several high-profile pictures. Late in 2002, Snoop released his first album for Capitol, Paid tha Cost to Be da Bo$$. He then switched to Geffen for 2004's R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece. The hit album spawned Snoop's first number one single, the Pharrell Williams-produced "Drop It Like It's Hot," as well as the hit "Signs" with Justin Timberlake and Charlie Wilson. R&G was followed a year later byWelcome to tha Chuuch: Da Album, a collection of tracks from the Welcome to the Chuuch mixtape series.


In 2006, he appeared on Tha Dogg Pound's Active and Ice Cube's Laugh Now, Cry Later. Toward the end of that year, the intentionally leaked "My Peoples" freestyle appeared. The track paid tribute to many of those involved in Cali's Latin rap community, so it was no big surprise when "Vato," with Cypress Hill's B Real, became his next album's leadoff single. The hard and very G-funk Tha Blue Carpet Treatment triumphantly capped off a year of heavy West Coast activity. In 2009, he issuedMalice N Wonderland, the maiden release of a new alliance with the reactivated Priority label, which also signed him on as its creative chairman. A year later, the CD/DVD set More Malicerounded up some odds and ends from the album and packaged them with a DVD featuring the Malice N Wonderland short film. He maintained his mainstream image with a star appearance on Katy Perry's "California Gurls," nabbing Snoop his third number one on the Billboard Hot 100.


In 2012, Top Dawg announced they had signed a joint venture deal with Interscope and Aftermath, which saw Lamar's debut album get a full release. Later that year, ScHoolboy Q announced he was recording his third album and would be the second member of Black Hippy to benefit from the deal. After a series of mysterious tweets in 2013, Q announced that the release would be calledOxymoron, but nearly a year passed before the dark and abstract album -- which featured a whole host of guest producers and vocalists -- was released in February 2014. Nevertheless, it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and pushed the single "Studio" into the Top 40. A worldwide tour took up most of 2015, and 2016 saw the "That Part" single drop as a preview of that year's album,Blank Face LP, which debuted at number two. In 2017, he appeared on the Calvin Harris collaborative track "Cash Out" with PartyNextDoor and DRAM, as well as on "Bahamas" with A$AP Mob and "Lil Story" with Gucci Mane. In 2018, he linked up with 2 Chainz and Saudi for the track "X" from the TDE-curated Black Panther soundtrack. Another contribution to a film soon followed, landing ScHoolboy on the Creed 2 soundtrack with 2 Chainz and Mike WiLL Made-It on "Kill 'Em with Success." Three years after Blank Face, he returned his focus to his solo material on "Numb Numb Juice."


By this point Ice Cube was a full-time member of N.W.A along with Dr. Dre and MC Ren. Ice Cube wrote Dr. Dre's and Eazy-E's rhymes for the group's landmark album, Straight Outta Compton, released in 1988. However, towards the end of 1989, Ice Cube found himself at odds with the group's manager, Jerry Heller, after rejecting Heller's proposed contract terms.


Ice Cube wrote the lyrics to approximately half of both Straight Outta Compton, and Eazy-E's solo album, Eazy-Duz-It, but he was only paid $32,000 and his contract did not confirm that he was an official member of N.W.A. This led Ice Cube to leave the group and bring a private lawsuit against Jerry Heller, which was later settled out of court. In response, the remaining N.W.A members attacked him on the EP 100 Miles and Runnin', and on their next and final album, Niggaz4Life.


500,000 copiesAlbum DescriptionAvailable in: Laugh Now, Cry Later is the seventh studio album by rapper Ice Cube, released on June 6, 2006. It is Ice Cube's first album to be released on his independently owned record label Lench Mob Records and his first studio album in six years since his previous album, War & Peace Vol. 2 (The Peace Disc). After spending the previous six years mainly doing movie projects, it could be considered a comeback album. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 selling 144,000 copies in the first week. User Album ReviewSince gracing those Oscar-winning classics Anaconda and Barbershop II, it's difficult torememberthat Ice Cube was once considered US Public Enemy #1. After baiting the moral majority with NWA, the title of his first solo record, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, could have been taken quite literally - as could its follow-up, Death Certificate.Given his love of the silver screen, it's tempting to treat his first album in five years as some sort of mid-budget action flick from the State where, as "The Nigga Trap" would have it, 'The f**king Terminator is the Governor'.In truth, it's better than that. Cube's rapping talents certainly get a good workout and production big hitters - including Dre, Scott Storch, Lil Jon, Swizz Beatz and DJ Green Lantern -have their finger fully on the G-button circa 1991.Although there's something faintly bewildering about the self-proclaimed 'definition of a West Coast G'still bragging about guns ("Click Clack Get Back!") and- yawn -how much hay he can toke ("Smoke Some Weed"), this exercise in nostalgia is,on the whole,a thrilling one.External Album ReviewsNone...
