Clocking in at just over 70 minutes, The War Disc finds Cube returning to rap as a solo artist after a five-year absence with something to prove. It stretches itself a little thin, and finds Cube relying on generic bravado. But the album is something different, and there's definitely something to be said for that. "Fuck Dying," which features Korn instrumentally, is a great rap/rock record. "War and Peace" interpolates No Doubt's "Don't Speak." And Cube delivers his trademark street knowledge and insight with records like "Ghetto Vet" and "Three Strikes You In." The Peace Disc is better than The War Disc, but The War Disc is an improvement when compared to Lethal Injection (with the exception of "You Know How We Do It" and "Bop Gun [One Nation]").
