Rap has emerged as one of the most powerful cultural forces in the last 30 years because of it's ability to address and examine uncomfortable topics in uncompromising, unflinching ways. And there is one man who has unquestionably done it the best during that entire span. His name: Ice Cube. The legendary rappers new collection, Raw Footage, finds Ice Cube bashing corrupt governmental practices, inspiring listeners, creating brilliant storylines while still making time to enjoy himself and showcase his braggadocio side. The collections lead single, "Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It," has been hailed by MTV as the first great rap song of 2008 and earned a coveted slot in the Sources Fat Tape section.
