Admin Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Could this be another generational hit like Boyz n the Hood was for me growing up? Kinda cool that Cube's son is going to play him in the movie. I still like to listen to this CD every once in a while and it still sounds just as good as it did back then.
