I got a friend with a poll in the basement

G'z up, who's down for a Foe Life versus Connected For Life poll? Mack 10's best solo bam-bam versus the last classic song Ice Cube was involved in; peak G-Funk versus Mannie Fresh goes to Inglewood. Choose wisely like you're a panelist on Jukebox Jury.

"Fool, I'm a vet and you can bet
that I can dance underwater and not get wet!"

Mack 10 - Foe Life
(From Mack 10 album; 1995)


"Chickenhawk, if I see a bird then I gotta get it
So if your 'hood come up short then I prolly did it"

Mack 10 ft. Ice Cube, WC & Butch Cassidy - Connected For Life
(From Bang Or Ball album; 2001)


I'm a Connected For Life man meself usually, but Foe Life is sounding particularly formidable today. Mart 10 takes the stand, your honour I'm a changed man.

(Didn't bother to embed either song's video in this post because the Foe Life video is missing the intro, while the the Connected For Life video is the clean version. Mack10VEVO badly needs a refit.)

    Mack 10 has a decent amount of music I like, considering he's generally a shit rapper

    Too many rappers VEVOs have only clean videos, annoying.

    Fave Mack 10 albums are probably the eponymous and Based on a true story, but I haven't listened to his stuff in ages, prbly need to revisit his catalog.

    That one Good Cop Bad Cop song by IC was suprisingly decent as well, in my memory he went diwnhill around the time those war and peace albums came out.

    Love both, but I'm a FOE LIFE guy myself.

    But I have to disagree with you Marty. "Lights Out" was the last classic Westside Connection/Ice Cube song. Featuring the why-has-he-been-written-out-of-history Knoc'Turnal

    Good song, but I dunno if it's a legit classic like Connected For Life.
