    Number Eight:

    You knew it was gonna be on the list.
    Shortly after leaving the group, N.W.A. released an EP in 1990 titled 100 Miles And Runnin. In the first track of the same name, they drop little disses towards Cube, such as:

    And later on the song Real N-ggaz;
    We started out wit too much cargo
    So I'm glad we got rid of Benedict Arnold
    Among other lines.​
    The following year, Ice Cube dropped his second studio album Death Certificate which contained a track titled No Vaseline.
    Produced by Sir Jinx, Ice Cube goes tf off on them, dropping a lot of quotable lines, and counters the disses on N.W.A.'s song.
    With lines like;
    It was clear that Cube had the upper hand.

    Ignore how sloppy the quotes in the spoiler are.

    No Vaseline is definitely a must have on a top 10 Ice Cube list, also standing out as one of the best diss records of all time

    Number Seven:

    So today as I was listening to my favorite Scarface album, The Diary released in '94, I realized how underrated Ice Cube's verse is. I apologize if you feel this shouldn't count since it's not Cube's song, but I feel like it should get some more recognition than it gets. Both Scarface and Cube k--- their verses over a beat made by N.O. Joe, Mike Dean, Uncle Eddie and Scarface. The hook, sung by Devin The Dude is also phenomenal.

    :whew:

    Number Six:

    Another song that you could already guess would make the list.
    I'll be honest, I don't like the original version on the 1992 album The Predator. The remix is the version I grew up with and I love the Grandmaster Flash beat

    The first verse alone is has some of my favorite lyrics of all time:

    Number Five:

    Surprising, right? :emoji_flushed:
    So yeah, another song that would obviously make the cut. It's one of his most well known songs, and is personally one of my favorite songs of all time. I don't even need to say anything. It speaks for itself.

    Number Four:

    An absolute b-----r off his underrated 2008 album Raw Footage. Over a bouncy EmBeatz beat, Cube, WC and Game all drop fire verses.

    Number Three:

    :whew: From that hard beat by Hallway Productionz to the gun shots in the background, Ice Cube makes it clear he's on top of the game, and all these other rappers are his "children".
    Plus any song that uses one of Biggie's most iconic lyrics as a relevant hook is okay in my books.

    respect you doing this--Ice Cube is probably top ten and doesn't get recognized as such. not sure i'd include any songs after, say, "Go to Church" though.

    Raw Footage is underrated as f--- imo. I really like the album.

    I Am the West is the album that kills me. Although I can stomach it a bit more than I used to now.
