I think it was that, different recording techniques but I also think Bleek’s brother or somebody close to him got into a motorcycle accident. Due to the accident Bleek had to dedicate his time to that situation.

Cube is disappointing but we knew that when he was glad handing with Trump trying to push his ill-conceived Platinum Plan during election season. Dudes love calling themselves free-thinkers or centrist while cozying up to the right-wing.

Tucker Carlson is a Grand Wizard in a suit, if you think a sit down with him is being done in good faith you're being played
2020 election tried to convince black voters to withhold their votes in favor of a pipe dream called the Platinum Plan and his Contract With Black Americans or something like that. He was being used

That's not glad handling with Trump though. When did we start thinking every rapper is/should be riding and dying for the democrats? Cube, Pac and a bunch of other rappers was saying **** Bill and Hillary back then and those 2 are still worshipped by democrat _'s. A lot of the "political rappers" didn't rock with either party.

Ice cube, based on everything he’s sold to us for decades….should not be doing sit downs with Tucker Carlson. Truthfully, **** em all.
Dinner With the President: Eazy-E's Infamous Luncheon With George H.W. Bush
On March 18th 1991 Ruthless Records CEO & Eric "Eazy-E" Wright attended a $1250 a plate, members only luncheon with his business partner Jerry Heller. This luncheon was sponsored by an organization called The Republicans Inner Circle under President George Bush.
You don’t get to that level Cube is at, without selling out. It is what’s it is.
I hope he don’t end up like Pras. Cube is in business with Steve Bannon.
It’s all good. Cube has accomplished a ton. One of the most successful black men to do it. An inspiration in a lot of senses. Just know, that every 4 years around election time (and sometimes mid terms)…he will be trotted out (deployed really) in the same fashion. Like clockwork

They say they don’t rock with em but been having sit downs and “work” with the folks that’s been openly trying to surpress black folks lately…You don’t see how that looks funny? They picking a side whether they say it or not
What good is riding around with Carlson, photo ops with Trump for a plan that everybody knew was bs or like a Killer Mike supporting the governor that damn near everybody agreed should be outta there once some NRA money started coming his way ?
That “both sides” **** is all bs anyway, the money determines how they move…If they wanna get involved with these folks then ppl gon look at em a lil funny, that’s the right of them and the public

Beans is a 1988-1998 type of rapper. He was just born and came out as a rapper in the wrong era in my opinion. Back in that era, a rapper just had to know how to spit real good, while the label would help with features and getting them their couple of hit singles, while they could focus on releasing a good body of work on the album, so it could be a classic album.
Beans was taking the Scarface 2.0 Route, but he didn't realize that the rape game and fans had changed dramatically, in how the rappers were releasing music by the time he got signed to rocafella. He was acting like rocafella was the old Def Jam, Death Row, Rap-A-Lot, Ruthless, Bad Boy, that only release hit singles to the radio stations, and then you release an album.
That old business model had faded by the time state property and Beans got with the ROC. All of those Houston Rappers, G-Unit, Dipset, Lil Wayne, LOX, The Game, Nipsey, Stack Bundles, Max B, French Montana and a few others were flooding the streets/local mom and pops music stores/underground scene with MIXTAPES in abundance. From 2002 to 2009, those people i named were releasing anywhere from 1 to 2 Mixtapes per month at a minimum, sometimes more.
That changed the landscape of how us the consumers viewed and valued the music. A group releasing 4 to 6 Mixtapes every 3 to 6 months, with high quality album like songs, are going to keep to keep the general publics attention way more than a group of artists who are releasing average albums 2 to 3 times a year.
Beans released a couple of Mixtapes, but it wasn't anything close to the consistency and abundance to the people i named on that list. Beans and State Property weren't flooding the underground scene at a high rate, to gain the momentum to generate high record sales because of it. I remember underground scene being so crazy back then, that you had artists like Max B and French Montana capitalizing off of what Dipset started with the Roc with their mixtape run.
2002-2009 was the Gold Rush of Rap, you just had to stay in the studio and flood the streets and mom and pop stores with Mixtapes back then. In short, We should've gotten multiple mixtapes with album quality songs and freestyles every other month from Beans, Oschino, Peedi, Freeway, and Young Guns for atleast 3 to 4 years minimum. Kanye followed that formula as well, and that's why he succeeded way more just like Dipset did. Kanye just released alot of music on a mainstream level back then. He was flooding the market with collabs and features with big name artists on a consistent basis non stop. You basically had to take the Houston Tx Mixtape Underground King route to cement your rap legacy back then, which everybody i named did. Beans and State Property just didn't have that work ethic like those other groups of rappers did.
Seemed like they were all sitting up under jay and dame all day while taking a long time working on albums and doing state property magizine photo shoots. This is something to think about in a big way = it's a reason why Jim Jones and French Montana and 50 cent and Lil Wayne are still somewhat relevant in the culture, maybe not at the level as they were at their peak, but they are in leaps and bounds in comparison to Beans and State Property is at this moment, as we all know.

Also, Nas is doing the same thing with flooding the streets with music/work. The only difference is that he's doing it in Album format and not with Mixtapes. Work Ethic with alot of music flooding the streets will always put someone in winning position in music. Ive never seen anything different. Beans and State Property just didn't have the worth ethic to make alot of music at a fast pace, while staying out of trouble. That's the difference between having longevity in your career, or just being known for a specific time period.

That doesn't mean he is not immune to criticism.

What good is riding around with Carlson, photo ops with Trump for a plan that everybody knew was bs or like a Killer Mike supporting the governor that damn near everybody agreed should be outta there once some NRA money started coming his way ?
That “both sides” **** is all bs anyway, the money determines how they move…If they wanna get involved with these folks then ppl gon look at em a lil funny, that’s the right of them and the public
One side is openly trying to suppress and deter black vote.
If you work with that side, you're supporting that.
Who does, both parties are the same, I'm not voting help?
as we see with Florida and Texas, both parties are far from the same.

They definitely using him because he a got issue with the NBA and he's against the vax. At the same time the NBA should be helping him the big 3 out if they're gonna practice what they preach. I don't think it's a good look to sit give Tucker Carlson views with your name but I don't think it's good to give any of these political people on either side shine. When these rappers new rappers are buddy buddy with Kamala and Biden it looks just as corny to me but the wave of social media is those are the "good guys".
Cube is one of these rappers that came up in a era where republicans AND democracts and where conservatives AND liberals was tryna censor his music. Young Cube would be hated by this cancel culture/agreewitheverythingwesay/the "left" crowd.
