We all know that Ice Cube, founding member of NWA and former "hardcore gangster rapper," performs in family-friendly fluff comedy flicks aimed at the most mainstream of family audiences, but no one with any sense cuts him serious flack for that. Not only are the Friday and Barber Shop movies pretty great, but do you have any idea how big his bank account is by now? When it comes to music, what is the dude to do? It's obviously his first love, but he has about three choices: to work with the Neptunes and try to update himself; to go completely middle America and do a Broadway revue or something; or he can do what he's always done: flex his lyrical muscles, squint a lot, bark out some hardcore lines on top of slick hip-hop--you know, to try and restore his cred. A glance at the song titles will tell you which choice he made. It's interesting to know that the very rich still have problems ("Child Support") and even millionaires have to convince us all that they're tough just like they did when they were broke-ass ("Why We Thugs"). There's some real political commentary here, but it gets lost in uninspired beats and that super-dated style, genre... everything. It would seem that Cube's producers forgot to tell him that no one really cares for that '92 stuff anymore. --Mike McGonigal

 Ni**a of the Centery June 8, 2008
Best Rapper to touch the mic, don't beleive look it up and dont front. Nothing but a classic. NWA, WSCG n Lench Mob. Thats heavy. Dont deny a man his dues n dont wait to his dead to say he was great. Real talk
Another Cube Classic March 13, 2008
Ice Cube proves once again why he is the father of Gangsta rap and hardcore hip hop. His productions are off the chain and his lyrical skills are still as fresh as they were decades ago. With blazing tracks such as Child Support and Go To Church, Cube delivers gritty yet conscientious flows to the industry. Ice Cube has NOT gone Hollywood and remains to be one the best MCs on the mic today. I strongly recommend adding this album to your collection.
Hot Tracks:
Child Support
Smoke Some Weed
Go To Church
Laugh Now, Cry Later
You Got A Lotta That
(4.5) best album of '06 September 13, 2007
After a long hiatus (I believe almost 10 years) Ice Cube was back with "Laugh Now, Cry Later". The result? the best album of last year in my opinion. This cd got everything u need in order to enjoy it!!!
Ice Cube Still Has It! June 20, 2007
Years have past, and Ice Cube has released many albums, but last year's release 'Laugh Now Cry Later' is proof that he still has it. The delivery, lyrics, and beats on here are all very great, and the production on here is excellent as well.
Released independently on Ice Cube's own Lench Mob Records (which will also be home to WC's next album, 'Guilty by Affiliation'), 'Laugh Now Cry Later' has many stand-out tracks. 'Child Support' addresses all they young rappers ruining the industry that legends like Cube put down, 'Laugh Now, Cry Later' has interesting lyrics and a nice beat, 'Stop Snitchin' is self explanatory and is an angry and excellent track. The first single, 'Go to Church (feat. Snoop Dogg & Lil Jon)' is among the best on this album, and is an extremely addictive track the first few times you hear it. The rest of the album is also quality, except for...
'Doin' What It 'Pose 2Do' is a very boring and forgettable track, and You Gotta Lotta That (featuring Snoop Dogg)' has a typical Lil Jon beat and sounds like filler. Otherwise, this album is superb, and one of the best Ice Cube has put out yet. He's still on top of his game, it's just unfortunate that his next album (titled 'Last Roll of the Dice').will be his last (at least he won't be releasing albums past his prime like Too $hort).
Stand-out tracks: 'Go To Church (featuring Snoop Dogg & Lil Jon)', 'Child Support', 'Chrome & Paint (featuring WC)'.
7th solo from the Don Mega maybe his best - 4.5 stars March 20, 2007
Ice Cube is finally back with another solo after a little over 6 years, and I have to say it's probably my favorite of his solo's ( I don't have "Amerikkaz Nightmare" or "War & Peace Vol. 1"). After being in the rap game for almost 20 years, he still brings heat on the mic and still has a lot to say, not as political as his first 4 albums fromt eh early 90's, but I like this more. With 16 songs, 6 are ok, and 10 are good, with the majority being real good, but no classic song however. Guests are minimal (unlike his last 2 albums) and I think it really helps (since the 3 guests are all vets as well and are only on 4 songs. Production is very good as well. Lil Jon does 3 songs, Scott Storch, Budda, Teak teak & dee, Emile, Laylaw & D Maq all do 2 songs, Green lantern, Swizz Beats, Sean C & LV all do 1 song. A must have album and one of the better albums of 2006.
