If y'all wanna criticize the man's tweets, fine. But we not about to rewrite history. Cube is a top tier storyteller and his trifecta of Amerikka's/Kill At Will/Death Certificate is forever undefeated. And anybody picking "Can't Touch This" over "Good Day" is a fucking fed.

No rapper’s music aged worse than Ice Cube. If you played, “It Was a Good Day” and “Can’t Touch This” for a group of 14-year-olds, and asked them to guess which guy was considered one of the best rappers of the era, and which was a punchline, 90% of them would get it wrong
