Ice Cube Gives More Details On “I Am The West”

    Emerging on the scene wearing black pants, a black hat and white sneakers, Ice Cube let us know that he’d be stomping for years to come. The years of long hair now behind him, he’s been able to traverse the field with a slew of other profitable endeavors from movies to endorsements. However, it’s clear that Cube has never left the music world and he continues to work on new material. This July will see yet another Ice Cube release, one that he recently promoted while headlining Murs’ Paid Dues Festival. Recently, he spoke with BallerStatus about the new album and two songs that may have fans excited for its release.

    “Pretty soon, the machines are going to take over. That’s just real. It’s happening in all of our lives,” he says of “Man Vs. Machine,” a new cut off the album. He explained that the album deals with human dependence on technology. But, the topical rhymes don’t end there.

    “Robbin’ Hoods” is another track he shared, which has a theme about the rich stealing from the poor. In the interview, he explained that making this song sets him apart from various other emcees who have other topical choices.

    “Big corporations is now stealing from the poor and giving to the rich…It’s everything people are going through. It’s real shit that ain’t got nothing to do with money, cars and all the shit most rappers talk about,” he noted.

    Another song off the album, “Drink the Kool-Aid,” got some publicity when it seemed Cube was taking shots at former group member Dr. Dre. Recently, Cube addressed the lines in the song and added that he would like to assist with Detox, noting “I’d never diss the man that got me started,” perhaps omitting mentions of their previous feuds.

    13. you can’t just hate with a real muthafukka who have and always been real since day 1. even though he got this family movies and shit, the only thing he know he got to do is stepping his game up to the next level. this is the next level for him, and he is the west coast. he dissed eazy before, thats just because eazy didnt hear him quite clearly.thats how they need to be heard, real talk, no bullshit. so any haters out there, know your history before you hate, and make sure you walk it, before you talk it.

      “there are two kinds of people in this world. the one that walk the walk, and the one that talk the talk. the one that walk the walk, sometimes he talks it,while walking.the one that talks the talk,asks the one that walks the walk,to walk it for him.”-anthony henderson,hustle and flow.

      where do you think ice cube is now? walkin or talkin? actually, he’s way past talkin and hes way past walkin. hes already walkin back.

    15. Cube is bein a rebel as usual. That’s great. He’s an O.G. and can do what the fuck he wanna do wit his music. I’m checkin for this album and think it will drop before Detox.
