War And Peace

Description

Ice Cube must have read Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and its chapter on the art of surprising the enemy. A few months ago, he delivered War & Peace Vol 1 (The War Disc). Today, he’s shouting the sequel: “I started this gansta shit, and this is the fucking thanks I get?” he rants, all worked up, on this Peace Disc. A second album more complete than the previous one. From his parable about the record business and the street (“Record Company Pimpin”) to the announcement of the reformation of NWA with Dre and MC Ren, this second opus offers a few excellent surprises. Ice remains as combative and defiant as ever. Hollywood hasn’t filed down his teeth. Before seeing him on the bill for Friday 2, listen to Peace to convince yourself.
