Contributed by DJ Z

Listen to More: Street, Westcoast, Collaborations

Next Tuesday, Ice Cube will release Raw Footage, the newest addition to his impressive and ever-growing catalog. Now, eighteen years since the release of his solo debut, AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, Cube might be older, but his rhymes are still tightly woven with thought-provoking sentiment and lyrical ingenuity. This is evidenced by the West Coast native’s newest single, Why Me?, which features accompaniment from singer Musiq Soulchild. Over a mellow, head-nodding beat from Lench Mob in-house producers Teak and Dee (of Hallway Productionz), Cube puts random and unprovoked violence on blast in a dedication to “all the n*ggaz who is dead and don’t know why.” A question is asked, but does anyone have the answer?

At first I was like here we go...another West Coast song that sucks...(lol) but lyrically he got me..which i def respect because beats normally catch the listeners first instead of the lyrics...musiq was a nice addition...loved the meaning behind this song...I know a few people who were murdered this summer and hopefully this song will inspire individuals to put down guns and other weapons and realize life is too precious for anyone to take...:-)

Ooo, this is some fresh @*#$!. Cube and Musiq collabo is a really good look! The beat is a classic west coast banger and Musiq blesses the chorus. Ice Cube does his thing on here, sounding like some of his old school stuff. he still has the swag and persona to be a hip hop heavyweight. This is a BANGER for sure, Im really glad the west coast is starting to make a strong comeback.

Mike Dreams Resident DJ Total Ratings: 2075	Rating: Mike Dreams's Top Rated Songs This is a really solid joint. I was surprised for this kinda content from Cube. I'm definitely digging it. The production is soulfully superb and Musiq Soulchild can do no wrong on the hook. This is certainly a classic in my book from Ice Cube . Put this right in there with "Today Was A Good Day" and "Check Yourself".
