06. Ice Cube - Bop Gun (One Nation)

Lethal Injection is the fourth studio album by California-based rapper Ice Cube. Similar to the rapper's previous albums, it was a commercial hit, debuting at #5 on the Billboard 200 with 215,000 copies sold in its first week.[8] However, it was heavily criticized for what many saw as Cube's pandering to gangsta rap, and toning down of the socio-political content found on his earlier efforts. The album's standing has increased over time. It includes the popular singles; "You Know How We Do It", and the Funkadelic-sampling "Bop Gun (One Nation)", which became a staple on MTV.

I saw Cube do this song live at the 95 Lowrider Supershow. The entire coliseum was dancing. It was an amazing day

[@graysonstephen7621]

EPIC This song could play from now till Christmas and not get old to me

[@Hunter_The_Baby_Christian]

I wish I was there do they still do the super lowrider shows? I wasn't around in the 90s

[@gregcampbell3052]

Glad you had a chance to see greatness

For show.

I used to play this shit for my dad, before he died., even before we knew he had cancer. We used to chill on Saturdays and Sundays, worked on fixing cars.. I played the funk for him, and he loved it. We had cool times before he died. The funk and groovy music was a part of it. God, I love this shit and all the good memories it provided. When something good came on the radio I turned it up to 11, pops would ask "what would the neighbors think" I would reply," I think the neighbors would think it was funky." God I miss pops, and I miss this music and the times.

[@poketz100]

I don't know u. But cherish those memories. Bless

[@lookylook1]

Rest in peace to your father and I wish you the best. Yes, like a previous commenter wrote, cherish those memories.

[@jermaineflowers4022]

[@fofa3735]

Holy shit the feels

[@chi-fd7mz]

I always liked this song. I bought the CD after HS graduation. Thought it was an unusual song by Cube. Always knew he was one of the originators of Gangster Rap but I didn't know his connection to the Nation of Islam and is a Civil Rights activists. I always felt his lyrics were unique because he clowned on others using meaningful words. It was not always about straight out tough lyrics like, "Imma bust a cap or mess u up so bad dat ur mom n pops ain't gonna rek'nize" And especially with George Clinton singing a good part. This song was weirdo but special. Never knew Cube's Activist heart until I watched "Straight Outta Compton." We ghetto thugs and hood rats are more than meets the eyes. Some of us definitely have a brain and may be more intelligent than most people think or give us credit for.

[@viperq]

I can listen to this all day.

[@onemikethreesports4194]

[@demetric1903]

Hauhau I no huh jus sliding it back the hole dam trip.

[@fastwilly2001]

Baked out my car with my friends to this when it first came out…. We didn’t stop blazing till we couldn’t read the digital display on the radio 🤣 … I’m 45 and it still feels like yesterday when you close your eyes and enjoy the memories.

[@901mtn8]

Wtfys I'm 50 n it does feel like yesterday, times were changing but it was some of the best times in my life

[@demetric1903]

I no huh😎.

[@mattharper3231]

Yeah I'm 47, same shit. Still blazing and listening to this genius

[@MargiePargiePudnPie]

When I was a student at UNL in Lincoln in 95, we used to party at a house in North Lincoln that played this constantly. After two years of this house being rented, the living room floor slightly caved, due to all of the jumping that occurred every Friday and Saturday night lol. Fun ass times.

[@HaterTyrone]

I'm 43 and just shared this with my mom and aunt on fb.. This dropped my senior year of high school and I was blown away. The DJ can let it play and hit the 💃 floor for a few.

[@dna2405]

Ur 5 years older. I’m 43 now. This is one of the greatest. All love to everyone

[@lmoody9000]

You haven't lived, if you've not heard this song. It's so funky. It also encapsulates a time, too.

[@Hooliganz_650]

I was born in 1996 so I wasn’t really alive when this music came out, but I really wish that this song was played at the party’s I was at!! This is true music that funks the soul!! I love the rhythms and finesse of the disco/funk era and when i look at hip hop today I see that the younger fans of music have a lot that they could learn. This song encapsulates an era of music that was purely fun. The need to move my body to this beat is unmatched by any rap song I have heard in my life “GIVING YOU MORE OF WHAT YOUR FUNKING FOR!! FEET DONT FAIL ME NOW! “

[@jomomma193]

I mean it's basically a Parliament song featuring Ice Cube. It's great.

[@joshuadurham1257]

The west coast Los Angeles California gangsta rap and hip hop music with g funkadelic were amazing and incredibly things. Like always jamming and bumping into this one. Jumping and hyping up that the golden state warriors aka the dub and westside nations 4life has won the championship game series against the celtics. (4-2) the golden state warriors has 7x championship title. Let's go!!!! The warriors

[@jocelynfresh4390]

🔥🔥🔥 2018 still lovin it

[@ggaines747]

Many will this song represents Ice Cube"s going "comercial", which was a sentiment that I agreed with for a long time. Listening to it now, I honestly see it as an attempt by Cube to give the industry what it demanded as well as stay true to his upbringing. That alone sounds like an impossible task to take on. Just imagine the red tape that had to be cleared to sample the entire song, One Nation Under a Groove. It's not quite the Beatles but, I'm saying, can't get that done without connections. This is a key song in Cube's evolution as an entertainer. I love it!!!

[@Cutay7BOOTAY]

Very good observation and I agree! I feel like he brought a party song to the table to shut people up. I remember being at a party back in the day and this came on and everybody just got hyped lol. Cube definitely nailed this.

[@jermainerobinson2975]

U see who they let Freak the track Only Cube and like u say his up bringing. Shout Out to my Big Brother Jamil Dotson for bringing me YOUR SHIT 💯💯💯❤

[@Robert_Douglass]

I'd like to see this shit keep playing on into the far future. Remind Humanity how we can still have good times 💕 😊 and get together, just forget our troubles for a while. One Humanity, One Nation Under a Groove!

[@calebtheshamen7033]

I've indeed been hit by the bop gun, I almost hear Rick James inspiration and this funk is indeed nasty. Classic album

[@Psycho_Like_Micho]

Cube wasn't G Funk until Snoop and Dre made it famous in 92

[@nzgkilla]

Man shut up. Cube taught West Coast how to rhyme! Snoop took influence from Cube first. Also Above the Law was first G funk, Dre was inspired by them. Chronic has a shit ton of samples melodies from Black Mafia Life. So no Sound was west coast at the time and Cube is West Coast definition of a rapper.

[@jezasmith]

Feet Don't fail me now!!

[@generfeld]

Old cruisers like a 1975 Lincoln Continental would go perfect with this song. Driving along, windows down, that aggressively cool 70s look, low to the ground and wide. It commands attention, it's instantly appreciated. Especially now in 2023 with the look of modern and new cars, Teslas, luxury cars, etc. They are super nice and car tech has come a long way....but one of those OG cruisers, the lines of that car, low & wide, its aggressively cool, instantly. OG for sure. Cruising along, windows down, with a woman youre dating, the front seat is so big she can sit half on her side with her legs pointed towards you, holding your hand, hair blowing in the wind. People turning their heads to check out the car. Such an OG classy thing. Only thing is, with those old cruisers, the exterior has to be in good shape, or else it quickly looks junky. Muscle cars can be beat up and still look badass. But the cars meant for cruising, they need the exterior on point. But if it is, nothing compares to the coolness of those 70s Continentals

So wide you can't get around it So low you can't get under it So high you can't get over it Can't get over it Ready or not here we come Getting down for the one which we believe in Nineteen ninety three much more be ounce Ice Cube comin' with the half ounce Not just knee deep jeep fulla' smog Atomic dog Like your behind heard it through the grapevine How much longer will you be mine? And I'ma tell ya, I don't like drama So do I have to put my handcuffs on your mama? 'cause nothin' but did her damn boogie with my crew But I'd rather be with you, boo And make you say humdrum, Tweedledee dumb Humdrum don't succumb when I'm done, fuckin' hicks One nation under a groove gettin' down for the funk of it Tear the roof of this mother like we did last night son And hit you with the bop gun Here's my chance to dance my way Out of my constriction Gonna be freakin' up and down Hang up really late The groove I only got Wish you all be moved Ready or not, here we come Gettin' down for the one which we believe in One nation under a groove Gettin' down just for the funk of it One nation and we're on the move Nothin' can stop us now If you hear any noise, it's just me and the boys Playin' with our toys M-1, 'cause everybody's gotta have fun Under the sun, under the sun So rough, so tough when I get down The disco fiend with the monster sound I wants to get (whistle) when I'm chillin' The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill-in You let her funk me 'cause my funk is the best Comin' from the west Kickin' them hits We occupied, dedicated to the preservation motion of hips Hittin' them dips, cd skips but I'm straight As I bounce, rock, skate Now I'll toast to that If it's rough, make the girls say "Do that stuff! Aw do that Stuff!" But ya got to be, you got to be a freak of the week For the top gun, hit you with the bop gun One nation under a groove Gettin' down just for the funk of it One nation and we're on the move Nothin' can stop us now One nation under a groove Gettin' down just for the funk of it One nation and we're on the move Nothin' can stop us now Do not attempt to adjust your radio There ain't nothin' wrong, so hit the bong Waitin' on the double dutch bus for a ride As the buffalo girl go round the outside Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip Got Dayton's on the mother ship And you can ring my bell if you need me to pass The doja on the left hand side for the sale 'cause nobody knows where the nose goes When the ? dog child got the Lookin' for the theme from the Black Hole Now I'll big bang you with my black pole A flashlight, red light, we don't like cops on the bike Just made bail tonight So whatcha gonna do when you get outta jail? I'm gonna have some fun with the bop gun Ready or not, here we come Getting down for the one which we believe in One nation under a groove Gettin' down just for the funk of it One nation and we're on the move Nothin' can stop us now One nation under a groove Gettin' down just for the funk of it One nation and we're on the move Nothin' can stop us now Source: LyricFind
