This song is ill. Ice Cube’s whole Raw Footage album is ill. I thought Benny Boom did a good job incorporating real life, international aspects into this as well.
If you don’t have to go to work today. Cool. Watch this. If you are at work, this is gonna mess you up for the rest of the day. All day you’ve been yes sir’ing and no ma’am’ing…then you watch this…there will be scowling. Lumberg won’t say shit to you. You know how it be at the job, as soon as you walk in, they trying to throw the whole day at you. You aren’t even awake yet. It a b12 vitamin, a stack of bills, and a look in your little daughter’s eyes to help you not quit that job today. Give ‘im the look. The look like, “you know better.” You’re about to flip that damn kiosk over! Because after watching this video if you aren’t ready to throw a mofo off the roof, then I don’t know what you’ve been watching. I Pledge Allegiance To The Grind II drops on July 8th, 2008. Also check for Ice Cube’s new video for “Do Ya Thang”. Raw Footage, August 26th…maybe.
Ice Cube - “It Takes A Nation”
It’s the official single for Raw Footage. This jam is hot. Once again Cube snaps with multiple quotables. Heisted the link from Eskay.
“Thank god when I bless the mic…you finally get to hear the s**t that you like. A n***a talkin’ about real life. So you can try to get the s**t right.” — Ice Cube
If all of the songs on Raw Footage are like this, then it’s sure to be a classic. Instantly. And I don’t throw that word around like the newbies. I’m a huge Cube fan and all, but I do remember clowning Laugh Now, Cry Later in a review on ZS before.
Did one of you roll your eyes and initiate hate? Stop it. Stop it now. Because the formula is always golden. Ice Cube + Funny N***a = Comedy Gold. This time he got two funny negroes. However, Katt Williams rockin’ Sommore’s wig is not what’s really hood in the hood.
Damn I miss Ice Cube pre-Don Mega. I bumped this track (original) ALL SUMMER LONG.
Taking it back to … glitter.
