Once again Ice Cube commits you to check yo self, yo tapes, yo CDs and yo wax. BOOTLEGS & B-SIDES gives up what you missed by only buying the long-playing releases and not the singles; providing essential obscurities and miscellaneous collectibles (i.e. remixes and b-sides galore). And Cube-style remixes do not just add samples and beats, but mark the creation of entirely new tracks with various loop and lyrical changes. So if you thought the ballad-like "What Can I Do?" was nice and warm the first time around, beware the included remix which drops with more of a hardcore funk feel.
The b-sides represent Ice Cube doing what he does best--telling stories. The tales range from "sexual escapades" ("2 N The Morning") to being condemned because of one's skin tone ("My Skin Is My Sin"). All the while Cube's lyrical ferocity provides insights into the "perpetrator's" point of view, mischievously jabbing at the system, and generally portraying the strange comedy that life presents us and that lies just around the corner.
Thus, BOOTLEGS AND B-SIDES is a must purchase not only for Ice Cube devotees, but for any one who loves to hear a story told with bounce, humor, South Central panache, and a realistic urban tone. Track it down-- borrowing something this phat would just not be enough.
