Laugh Now, Cry Later 2006 Album

Ice Cube

Without ever hitting the heights of his earlier career, with Laugh Now, Cry Later, Cube has created another solid worthwhile album again providing some thoughtful content. The topics vary from race on 'Why We Thugs' & 'The Nigga Trapp', current hip hop on 'Child Support' and Cube coming up on 'Growin' Up' among others. There ain't a bad song here with some bangers that make you wanna turn the volume up such as 'Why We Thugs' and 'The Game Lord' and others that make you wanna listen to the lyrics more carefully such as 'Child Support' and 'Growin' Up'. Some of the production is really fantastic. A good comeback album after Cube released his worst six years prior.
