Last week, Ice Cube angered a few West Coast newcomers after suggesting in his blog that, despite his veteran status in the game, he felt no obligations to help bring up local Los Angeles emcees.
“They ain’t on my level,” Cube wrote about the new generation of artists. “I don’t even remember ever meeting these clowns or even being in the same room with any of ’em. They can’t make a name for themselves so they need help from the O.G.’s. I refuse to throw ’em a life line. Fuck ’em. It ain’t my job to make nobody famous.”
The remarks prompted a Twitter response from Watts rapper Jay Rock, who said he considered himself part of the “New West” that Ice Cube seemed to be referring to. “I ain’t never had a problem with Cube or none of the O.G. niggas,” Rock said. “But if [he’s referring to] the New West I’m a part of, he talkin [sic] bout all of us [since] he didn’t say a name.”
This week, likely in response to Jay Rock’s Twitter comments, Ice Cube explained where his own remarks came from, and said he hasn’t turned his back on young rappers, although he does have reservations about the new generation of emcees.
“Why don’t I produce up and coming rappers like I used to? I got burnt out. Niggas couldn’t take the baton and run wit [sic] it. I was sick of babysitting grown ass men and walking them through the industry. I felt like Dr. Frankenstein building uncontrollable monsters. How? If you DON’T make ’em a star, they blame you. If you DO make ’em a star, they leave you. I got sick of that ungrateful shit.”
Although Cube has not been specific about who he is talking about, he did say he may mention them on his upcoming album I Am The West.
“Now, a lot of people want me to name names. Buy the record. In stores July 13th. I ain’t naming names at this time, but I’m adding names. You let me know if you wanna be on the list.”
Jay Rock and alot of the other new cats outta the West are nice, but I wouldn’t want Cube pissed off coming at me. Cube may not be as slick with the word play but he makes resounding statements on the mic. We’ll see how it pans out.
i see where cubes coming from cause he came in the game wit other young niggas and they made a name for themselves wit out nobody’s help.
Agree With some of yall correction jay z is jaz o protege bleek is jayz protege Cam was basically Mase Protege as well a jim jones cause they said that mase put showed them how to rap and Cam was already on before roca fella so he’s not jay z protege
Cubes 100% on point with this, “If you make them a star, they leave u, If you dont, they blame you”……………hats the realest shit I’ve heard in a minute…….
Think about it………
For every star, you have about a bunch disgrunmtled former proteges:
Jay has Beans, Jaz-O, Sauce Money, Amil and CamRon
Eminem has Pace Won, Royce(until recently)
Nas has Cormega and Nature
Cube has Mack 10 and Kam
Dre has about a million of them
Wayne has Gillie da kid, BG and Juvie(at one point)
T.I has Alfamega
etc etc etc……………..I’d mind my own to, a helping hand is rarely rewarded in hip hop
not only did Lil Wayne not have Juvenile (Juvenile taught Wayne), he didn’t have Gillie either…Gillie was (and still is) a member of Major Figgas before signing to Cash Money, then he ghostwrote for Wayne…Jay-Z was Jaz-O’s protege, not the other way around…
jaz o wasnt jays protege, get your facts straight bitch
wow your the biggest fuckin idiot ever, your hip hop knowledge is garbage, i wanna smack the shit out ya mouth
No jackass… Jaz-o had Jay-Z
Nas- Nature, Cormega,
Jay-Z- Beans, CAM,
50 cent- Game, Young Buck
Ice Cube- Mack 10
RZA- UGOD, Raekwon
ETC tooo many chiefs not enoygh soldiers
true, and wasn’t that dude Quan bitching about Nas recently?
whoa son…take cam name off that list.
whoa son…take cam name off dat list
this nigga said cam. yo i’m not even a cam fan but cam had a name before jay, by noway and means was cam ever jay’s protoge. jay’s real protoge is bleek. like someone said your hiphop knowledge is ass cuz this next absurd thig on the list is the cash money set. them niggas came in the game TOGETHER as the hot boys. matter of fact do you even know what the word protoge means
@ Drucifer, give it up, as always you dont know what the fuck your talking about
jay did’nt have jaz o you stupid, or Sauce Money
WTF are u talkin about fag
juvie was the star of the hot boys nobody gave a fuck about wayne,,back then
Jay was Jaz’s protege…not the other way around. As was Lil Wayne to Juve, do your research
Leave it up to Ice Cube to voice profound frustrations with todays “new rappers”, while at the same time market and promote his forthcoming album.
Nice!
Check out this new group guys…The Axixs…They are sooo great…my favorite..Ha they better thank me, I am def their number one fan haa!!
I was just saying in the comments for “News: Snoop Dogg Gives Justin Bieber The Okay” I was sick of veterans in the game cosigning wack youngsters cuz they’re scared to be called a “hater”.
thank you Ice Cube
Fuck Snoop Dogg! It’s okay to diss Lil Wayne, but it’s bad to make songs with soulja boy and being ‘Buddies’ with Justin Biever? that nikkas dead to me!! Snoop needs to bring out Snoop Doggy Dogg!!!!! and leave that family man bullsh!t to the suburbs!
I meant to say….It’s cool to diss lil wayne, but it’s bad to diss justin biever & soulja boy and t-pain!?? this nikka dissing the wrong people!! or if your gonna diss wayne, diss ALL OF THEM! stop being a lil bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree with you Fosho… “Hater” has become so overused and it sounds so childish. Whenever I speak my mind and someone calls me a hater, I just laugh. Ice Cube is just speaking his mind and I agree with him too.
And LOL @ Kingkong101. “Justin Biever” I don’t know if you did that on purpose but that was funny.
He is talking about Glasses Malone. In a video with Joe Budden on worldstarhiphop, Glasses Malone called out Joe Budden for coming at Method Man. He also said that he was let down when he met Ice Cube. He said, Ice Cube was acting scared when he met him at an autograph signing or whatever it was. I believe Glasses Malone because he wasn’t really trying to diss Cube.
YAYEEE YAYE!
Oh C,mon! Cube has the ‘RIGHT’ to diss these nikkas for disrespecting Him and Us (the Fans!!) you little bitches waiting on ya daddy to come help you out, you got a deal! your on Tv! you got radio play! what more do you want!? I know OG’s hustled to get in..but they NEVER asked for any help. neither did ANYBODY from all over the world who are signed…so grow some balls and get out there! or stay home and keep bitching! Yay Yay!!
Cube you need some dope beats for yo album !! get some good beats and yo shit gon be off the hook
fuck your beats
Thats fucked up Cube shouldnt be downing the next genaration of rappers that are trying to get though especially jay rock or nipsey they are the truth as far as rappin n the streets goes…
but i do feel what he says about what happens if you make em a star or not but shit he dont have to do that just show some support they comin from the same shit you came from.
http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/artist_videos/659615?sel_song_id=3407393&autoplay=1
hes fukn write… i wouldnt co sign for nun of these garbage ass rappers. cube was a political rapper wit a real reason for his music. these new dudes tryn to get paid wit bulsht music cmon…even jo jo( runz son) was tryin to get on.
cosign
real talk
agreed
Real talk right here…
Ice Cube is on such a higher level then every west coast rapper. He stays pushing WC(i know hes signed to the label) he supports Game. Snoop and Too Short is the only ones close, and they’re like polar opposites. Bottom line is while I stay downloading most of the “new west” rappers I will be buying Cubes new album when it drops. Gain respect in the game and a solid fan base, put out 2-3 dope solo LP’s and only then if your lucky may Ice Cube collaborate with you.
even since his ‘are we there yet’ movies you still have gotta love cube.
ICE CUBE is right; helping people is looooooooooooooong (LONDON slang, for ‘a waste of TIME!’).
fish and chips ass nigga
Its true, I hear alot of crying but no classic albums. Show And Prove Lil Ni@@z! The First Thing tha youngstaz do is go on gay as tweeter and complain instead of making and dope jam and proving. U fools are rappers! Man Up and do your JOB instead of pouring out your hurt feelings on tweeter.

If he talkin bout nipsey hussle something goin wrong cause nipsey is the best new thing to come out of the west coast since Snoop
dawg….nipsey whole persona is SNOOP….what makes that nigga hot? I see him as one of the most UNORIGINAL niggas from the west outside of GAME
…and that’s all to it! Cube don’t owe anybody anything! Hell, he gave to the whole industry, from the jheri curl days to now, and he’s still giving us examples of how to make it for ourselves. If he had the mentality alot of people have, we wouldn’t be talking about him right now! http://www.soundclick.com/bloodworksproduction
Bitch niggaz, still wanna check my urine
Still can’t believe, what you see and what you’re hearin’
You motherfuckers, thought you knew the whole story
Until your mama, took a nigga on maury
Read your test results, are you the father
I looked at his bitch ass told him don’t bother
I’m the father of this gangsta shit
Never thought that I have a bunch of bastard kids
Lil’ bad-ass kids, I whoop they ass every night
Send the paramedics bitch, and the black and white
I brought you in this world, I’ll take you out
Do you ugly, so mamma can’t make you out
You know my style a colt, file a report
I’m a dead-beat daddy, no child support
You get fooled like the last trick
Get it out your ass bitch
You niggaz know my pyroclastic flow
Ya’ll niggaz know, ya’ll bitches know
Where you get it from, who’s the original
You got your daddy’s mouth, talk like a criminal
Keep it gangsta son, never get pigeon holed
Rap bastards tryin’ to make a classic
Keep your dumb-ass out of the casket
Cause intercope’ll spend your money, they don’t give a fuck
About a dead rapper, nigga they’ll chop it up
Keep it movin’ y’all, they’ll come mop it up
Corrupt LAPD cover up
Everyday nigga we know drama
They ain’t lookin’ for Osama, ask Biggie’s mamma
Thank God that the gangsta’s back
We ain’t got to put up with this brainless rap
May your lungs collapse, m.c’s are funny
All you can rap about is pussy and money
All y’all rappers should kiss and make up
Take your bullshit jewlry back to Jacob
Get your mind right nigga, and start to wake up
Cause the whole rap industry needs to shake up
You got million dollar niggaz killin’ million dollar niggaz
Bustin’ outta Bentleys, wearin’ chinchillasss
There you go again rollin’ in your limo
Comin’ from the Grammy’s shootin’ out the window
I know the scripture, but there’s something wrong with this picture
What you mad about, diamonds all in your mouth
No car, no niggaz house paid off
I never heard of a rapper gettin’ laid off
Boy, you a fool or you just act crazy
Or you a grown crack baby born in the 80’s
to all you motherfuckers say I went Hollywood
I’m gangsta! I know when I got it good
GANGSTA
man fuk all dem nigga’s 4 reel ain’t now cube deez nigga’s suck now and days n-e-way wat dey rappin bout ain’t makin no kind of sense so fuk dem niggas damn new west coast
These new rappers are con artists and losers. They don’t respect their craft enough to be lyrical and don’t respect producers. lol They use their advance to buy cars and pay bills, then get u internet beat making lames to give them free beats for mixtapes and backend money lol. What back end money? Albums don’t sell! lol I hear dudes bragging about getting placements and they aint get a dime since the shit barely moved 100 thousand units.
These new niggas can’t rhyme for shit. Cudi sounds like the black dude at an all white party geing love because, he the only nigga there that is rapping. West coast need to realize, kids don’t care about gang banging. If they can play it in Grand Theft auto, they don’t need you. lol East coast needs to experiment more with sounds ouside of sampling. Neptunes did, they didn’t learn. Timbo did, they still retarded. Typical NY Nigga don’t hate u till u make a hit, now they got a diss record for ya. How about learning how to write catchy music. Thats what hit making music is retard? Catchy things people like hearing over and over. “My music don’t have melodies” But it has a shit load of huge producers, cock sucker.
funny post (l.o.l.).
what you said about emcees beggin’ producers for free beats, is 100% on the money, though.
Just look at the 45 or more comments, it truly shows how big Cubes fanbase really is. There is only 1 negative comment and a guy calling Ice Cube a bigot and they spell it wrong. lol
first off cube is from the suburbs he preach that G-shit to dumb foolz who wanna hear it cb4 based off him and the rest of them liars dre included temptation’s suite wearing ass and cube with a pink popped collar with long jerry curls “i got the pictures i seen ya” are we their yet 2 ass brudda keep beliving these lying ass actors if yall want to and check how many times he plugged his album
“Now, a lot of people want me to name names. Buy the record. In stores July 13th. I ain’t naming names at this time, but I’m adding names. You let me know if you wanna be on the list.”
so he just as childish as this generation
O imma diss somebody on my new album smh how about finding that person and talking to him like a man,stop buying into these marketing sceems please.
I cosign 100% with what Cube is saying. Niggas don’t respect the game anymore. Look at The Game for example. He got put on because of 50, blew up and his ego got outta control and dissed him. Jay-Z didn’t do a song with him on The Documentary and the nigga caught feelings.
Every new nigga coming out SWEAR their new mixtape/EP/LP is “classic” shit. 90% of them can’t rap OR if they can rap, they don’t know how to put a song together. I’m not just talking about the west, that’s EVERYWHERE.
The fans are even worse. All they care about is record sales and look past skills for whatever hook is catchy or if they make a hot dance crazy. All these rappers are cookie cutter. Iced out chain, nice car, club banger. That’s it! Nothing new or original anymore. The last GREAT MC’s came out in the 90’s when originality and skill were recognized- Pac, Big, Jay, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Tribe Called Quest, Nas, The Roots, Wu Tang Clan, Outkast, Wayne, Ras Kass, Ice Cube, Common). There are a couple exceptions nowadays (Lupe, Kanye, etc.) but general, no one has respect for rap as an art anymore.
All these little niggas care about is getting on for money & stuntin on You Tube and MTV cribs.
Cosign 100%
agreed, but wayne done changed too, and now he aint making shit that make any sense
ICE Cube has a valid point the lyrics to most hip hop records today have no substance, all beats, and the industry continue to stronghold artists to help breed the same prototype we continue to support our people which we should always do, but there’s comes a time when we must accept responsibility and say this is some of the same b/s, oversaturating the market with the same styles getting paid and laid, the OG’s of hip hop needs to be there schooling the upcoming lil brahs and sistas about the rules of the industry instead of letting this trend continues. Let’s get it together. When are we gonna learn that not helping each other only hurts us in the end. let’s unite, teach, cultivate, nurture, and bring forth seeds of wisdom because Knowledge is indeed POWER. ONE LOVE ONE LIFE REJOICE
You were on point until you put Wayne in that group. Wayne? Really? Dude has always been garbage.
lmao u put wack ass wayne in that list….HA!
No I’m serious, Wayne was a REAL rapper at one time. I don’t fuck with Auto Tune Wayne.
THEN BUILD A TIME MACHINE AND GO BACK TO 92 OR 99 OR 88 OR WHENEVER THE FUCK
STUCK IN THE PAST-ASS NIGGA
I choose to believe they do care– because when these youngsters go out and try to mimmick the game — ( im talking about the gangbangin and whatever else is being thrown out there — ) Cube cant speak on this but he cab rap on it because someone esle told him the story– dont be someone you’re not.. Americas Most ZDangerous — I dont think so… have you talked to any of these young men… not all of them… some of them are great writers and rappers… Give back is all I’;m saying and dont get discouraged because they want you to hold their hand.. Someone held yours CUBE and PROTECTED YOU ALL OF THE WAY..
Although helping others is really helping yourself,i can see where he’s coming from. There’s certain standards to keep up and dues to be payed. Good old fashioned moral ethics which we have totally lost. Keep the art of speaking out against injustices alive in line with the legend
Ice Cube!!
Ice Cube carried NWA with Dr Dre beats & is still better than almost the whole state of Cali…Except for maybe 3 others
preach
When you see me in the streets you can call me daddy
When you go see your mama know I hit that fatty
Back in the day, before she got ratty
I, had her ass in the back of my Caddy
And, you know I done it, I’ma keep it 100
Back when she had more ass than stomach
Back, before her looks started to plummet
She would call me everynight, beggin’ she want it
I would go pick her up, then dick her up
Then stick her up, for some gas bucks
For some lunch money, and some fast food
Nigga was a pimp before a Nigga With a Attitude
And when you picture that I know you wanna get your gat
Understand atomic dog always get the cat
And if young motherfuckers ain’t feelin’ that
I wish she can open up, and put ya back
Why did Cube put Young Jeezy on “Raw Footage”, that was corny having that dude on an ice cube album….WTF!
I had to add an opinion cause I am a huge Cube fan. It is totally understood what he said. The new guys are a representation of what is goin on in the community though. He doesn’t have to help anyone. Especially anyone whose just trying to destroy the west coast name. And, I think I know who he is really talking about when he talked about his experience in trying to bring someone up. Come on ya’ll. There is only ONE guy who he brought up and kinda “blew up” (sorta). Jay Rock is a good rapper. He already has Wayne co signing. He’ll be okay….
i dont think jayrock or nipsey hussle or mistah fab ever said they need cubes help.i think its foul talkin down on young niggaz tryin to make it when ur rich as fuck and well established damn near pushin retirement. i love cube music been a fan for years but he in the wrong
word
cube’s just mad cuz his ass is old
Tell em Cube!!!!
BIG UP Ice Cube. I feel him, dont let these niggaz shit on ur name, U R the West! No one can take that shit from you. Maybe thats why Snoops shit is not doing well, Soulja Boy, fuck that little nigga…PRONTO!!
Ice Cube will FUCK YOUR SHIT UP.
new west! new west
put ur dubbs down u aint no where on the westcoast
Maybe this Jay rock guy is a total wank and his rhymes are utter shite! He should shut up as i ain’t even heard of him and what does he rap about? Probably a
namedropper or fake little shit who knows nothing about making quality music.
Cube is a west coast legend and he’s talking the truth, a few years ago a lot of good cats were coming out in the west – Knocturnal, Hittman, Mel-Man,etc but apart from Crooked I and Evidence i don’t seem to hear a lot of quality coming out so Cube is right! Maybe that’s why Dre felt he couldn’t release Detox – because there isn’t a lot out there to represent. There’s a lot of great lyricists but they are all
maligned or overlooked and that’s a damn shame but there is also some wack little fools who think they’re better than they are!
We need solo lps from Ras Kass, Crooked I and anybody with talent NOW!
If you dont know what you’re talking about dont talk about Jay rock is on point… And he makes better music then Cube these days anyway, jay rock is part of the new west as well as Nipsey, and Tyga. There already establishing a good fanfabse so i doubt cube was even talkin about them.
niggga shut the fuck up, clearly you aint hearin the shit goin down in the streets
rock
nip hussle
horseshoe gang
fashawn
all them niggas makin mad noise right now.
and aint none of them niggas disrepecting cube in no way, all them niggas grew up bumpin nwa and all of cubes shit. they got mad respect for an OG like cube. the nigga cube prolly jus tryin to build buzz for his new album
@A.K. – if Jay Rock is so nice, how come no one has heard of him. Being nice in gym class doesn’t mean you can be nice in a coliseum. Cube’s current material is better than most of the West Coast new shit.
WHO THE FUCK IS jay rock FUCKEM AND KICK ROCKS BUDDY
well this new west coast niggaz eat Ice Cube alive now, he ain’t fucking with Blu or Fashawn, Cube is garbage now, real talk
lmao stfu
cube is garbage? nigga please…and while fashawn and blu are good, neither can fuck with cube
hahahaha wow man ice cube would eat any of the new west rappers and ice cube is garbage now ? get the fuck outta here
Those guys aren’t in the same vein as Cube. I fucks with Blu but his music dont sound remotely close to Cube’s gangsta/conscious rap.
Fashawn is dope but Cube would destroy him if necessary
The main new west figures in HipHop are Bishop Lamont, Crooked I, Jay Rock has some good material too (not just gangbangin shit), Fashawn…
Glasses needs to show me a little more, Nipsy needs to create his own image-fool looks and talks like baby snoop.
Bishop Lamont is the best out of them all, he makes HIPHOP music.

well well ppl its about time some1 had to do da shit and he nomnated himself to do as such da west fell off for a while now so dis is wat i will do here are da names of da west coast as we know em
SNOOP DOGG

I was a teenager in da early ’90z, and at that impressionable age Cube was my role model, no matter what he said on Gangsta, Gangsta. He proved he had a sense of humour on trax like Man’s Best Friend and A Gangsta’s Fairytale, got emotional on Dead Homiez, and Once Upon Time In the Projects showed off his raconteur skillz. My favourite Cube track iz AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, and it’z da 2nd track I knew all of da wordz 2, after Straight Outta Compton. His recent material has waned a bit, but 6 classics LPz iz a good battin’ average 4 rap artist.
nigga it’s too bad an english teacher wasn’t your role model
for u youngn he´s talking bout people he produced like k-dee
Long story short there are only 3 good LA rappers. Dont be mad cuz all the other ones are from the south or the midwest.
I think one of the reason’s the west coast fell off was the Hyphy movement and the commerical monsters like Soulja Boy and Gucci Mane fucking up the music of the legends. Soulja Boy and Snoop slaughtered the livin’ hell out of record “Pronto” that the record had to be locked away and destroyed and god damn Game made such a fool ouut of himself on “Krazy” when Gucci Mane sucked the livin hell out of it. Now all these assholes like The Pack and E-40 started that hyphy shit and fucked up the west, like Snap music did to the South. The East Coast can’t even stand on it’s feet because of the major labels going commerical and the South is oversaturated with bullshit jerkin and money to blow Cash money millionaire glam. Ice Cube hopefully will stay a man to word and deliver a classic like Amerikkka’s Most Wanted cause the true substances of the west coast is hardcore, g-funk, gangsta, lyrical, politcal and pure dirty truthfull hip-hop. On top of that wordplay beyond all means. N.W.A, Dre, Snoop, MC Ren, Ice-T, Ice Cube, Warren G, Nate Dogg, all those cats made the west coast the west coast!
i do enjoy the new shit, but i feel where ya goin on this muh nigga
the real, ol skool west is diminishing. And Ice Cube real for dat, word is bond.
If you aint pushin yaself, u aint right in tha game.
But you niggaz are still set on all thats on the mainstream, i heard sumone bring up Brotha Lynch, that niggaz crazy. Open ya mind and feel out wats goin on OUTSIDE of radio, tv, ur local station, or watever the fuck
Suicide, Wicked Clown, Strange: All Day

Cube is right, get the shit yourself, you gotta respect a nigga that get it by himself. Even though the nigga murdered hip hop soulja boy is perfect example, made his own beats and everything and put himself on. And to the “new west” before they say ANYTHING bout cube they better go listen to no Vaseline a few times and think about that
shits like 30 years old
And still arguably the best diss track of all time…
yeah i feel em but attitudes like that is where the friction spawns from…
i think nip go hard. i fucks wit new west. 40 droppin some new shit which is good to hear. every body hatin on the jerkin movement but they makin they own way. aint droppin no names. and be havin hella clubs jumpin. i mean they might not be as lyrical as cube. but when you take the fun out of hip hop thats when “hip hop is dead” i feel comes into place. cube is dope and he when he came out he had a message for that time. now let them new boys get some air time. crooked i is of caliber of nas. nip is in the caliber of a snoop. rock is in the caliber of game. but they aint gunna never get no where by feudin with one another. big reason cali so fucked up as it is.
Thats G Cube. Fuck these new clowns. http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/CRYSTALLAKE416
Fuck this, Ice cube is on hoe games, and fuck you lames saying im a hater, Hes talking bout he aint gunna support young dudes,,,, YOU REALLY THINK $) YEAR OLD NIGGAS IS BUYING ICE CUBES NEW CD? fuck outta here with that no grown ass man is gunna do that, and if you dont like it.. FUCKIN RETIRE?!, Nothings keepin you in the game, go do some more fuckin horrible movies and see if the OLD dudes buy it…fuck im tired of people complaining and shit. You dont like young dudes from the west? KEEP IT IN YOUR FUCKIN HEAD
YO ICE CUBE IS A REAL G!!! HE STARTED THIS WEST COAST SHIT! BEST WEST COAST RAPPER OF ALL TIME ALONG WITH, BORTHA LYNCH, X-RAIDED, YUKMOUTH, FAT TONE AND THE REST OF THOSE NIGGAZ! I WOULD SAY 2PAC BUT HE AINT ‘ORIGINALLY’ FROM THE WEST!!
nigga please
cali was “originally” a bunch of mexicans
we’re all “originally” from africa. or iraq. or whatever.
lincoln was “originally” from kentucky
WHO GIVES A FUCK
men who tha fuck this “brrr” guy?
o! i get it, prob sme white pussy, thats y he’s talkin crazy on eryboby’s comment!
shut tha fuck up nigro!!!!!!!!
Da Young Giantz coming @ ya BiggJoeWest and MrDeuceMac Weeeeesssst!!!!!
Madlib is the WEST! he hasnt been in the game as long as Ice Cube, but he is consisent with the heat! every coast fucks with him when they need a beat!
Cube don’t owe nobody nothing
Cube has definitely carved his name in the concrete as far as hip hop is concerned, but if he cant find any decent mc;s, its not his fault. the west coast has always been in a drought as far as hip hop goes. aside from heiro, j 5, and their affiliates, there is NOTHING worth fckin with in the west coast bottom line!
thats not even TRUE… He rejects anyone who comes his way.. and his his people getting the info and bring it back to him.. and they come back with the lame excuse of I’ll give it to Cube man… and never hear back from them… His way got carved by John Singleton Boyz in the HOOD.. CUbe was at the right spot at the right time, on Singleton, if he KNEW could have gone to the same neighborhood he shot the film and found a TRUE OG. but it didnt happen that way… Cube was chosen and for a reason… Tyreese Gives back… every chance he has… so whats really up… Think outside of the BOX Oshea.. dont have the same N+**er mentallity you always speak on..
cube aint the only one thats a vet from the west theres snoop e-40 and some others and then theres dj quik and his underground came came out in 87 if im not mistaken and then if u want to know about the new west theres alot of them like LIL ROB his been out since 93 but his actual first cd came out in 97 then theres HI POWER ENT. they been out since 2001 i think and in HI POWER theres alot of talent in it such as MR. CAPONE-E MR. CRIMINAL MALOW MAC they are the NEW WEST and if cube mensions HIPOWER in his new ALBUM hes gonna have a new beef
I got mad respect for Ice Cube, but there is some new talent on the west like blu from L.A. and the Blue Scholars from washington.
Jay rock is lame, nippsy a jocker, snoop played out and too commerical, face it the west is dead only person hold it down is game. all and dre aint gon drop detox becuz he like er body else knows its gon tank.
nigga you stupid
fuck outta here
there are alot of better west rappers than game. game is just a name dropping nigga who has 2 decent cds and a few wack ones.
Veterans and OGs are too pussy to call out wack new rappers. They are scared to be called a “hater” so they just cosign Soulja Boi shit and help usher in the garbage.
Nas & Ice Cube are among the few who still have some balls. many other vets are neutered and think they have to publicly embrace Gucci Mane
grow some balls rappers, and call the bullshit like you see it.
cosign 10000000%
!
cosign 50000% that’s some b.s other cats be on
First Thing First Ice Cube, If You Saying “I don’t even remember ever meeting
these clowns or even being in the same room with any of ’em. They can’t make a name for themselves so they need help from the O.G.’s. I refuse to throw ’em a life line. Fuck ’em. It ain’t my job
to make nobody famous.”
Then It’s Your Job To Make Someone Famous! Or Unless You Slacking With Your Ablity To Apply Yourself And Reach Out
didun u read the whole fuckin interview son… cube said “If you DON’T make ’em a star, they blame you. If you DO make ’em a star, they leave you. I got sick of that ungrateful shit.”
im not against new west i got luv for game, jay rock, clyde carson & nipsey hussle… i also got luv for crooked i & spice loc but they not new west they been out since like ’02 son they b kickin decades door down!
but the rest like bishop lambont, glasses malone & 40 cal r clowns gotta go back to the circus… cube cant pay ur child support!
DAMN!!!!!!SOME BODY LET ICE CUBE KNOW.THATS THE SAME THING HE DID TO EAZY E & DR DRE.A YOUNG HOT HEAD WHO FEEL HE WAS BIGGER THAN HE’S SITUATION.A STAR MIGHT START OFF IN A CLUSTER BUT ITS ALWAYS WAIT TO GET ITS CHANCE TO SHINE BY ITS SELF FOR EVERY ON TO ENJOY.STOP TRYN TO CHANGE A G AND LET A G B JUS DAT.A ‘G’.
actually he left nwa (who btw would have been nothing without cube considering cube ghostwrote all their lyrics) because jerry heller wasnt giving the group the money they were entitled to…then it was nwa that made the first attack with 100 miles and running.
Know your history dude. Cube Left NWA because they didn’t pay him from the Classic songs that he wrote for Eazy. He had a buzz with CIA, that’s when he came to NWA through Sir Jinx (Dre’s Cousin). He made Amerikkka’s Most Wanted without any mention of NWA. It was NWA who came at him on Real Niggaz from the 100 Miles & Runnin EP. I agree with Cube. Why would anyone want to hold a grown ass man’s hands? It just like Nas. Nature & Mega got mad at him for not holding their hands. The new MCs feel if they get with a hot MC or crew that this is the way to come up. That is an insult to the a fan’s intelligence.
My Reply was to ENTRAPRENEUR DJS(PSYCO BLACC)
sorry man…but alot of these new west niggas are corny as fuck..ESPECIALLY that nigga Nipsey Hustle…dawg….nipsey whole persona is SNOOP….what makes that nigga hot? I see him as one of the most UNORIGINAL niggas from the west outside of GAME ..and that fat nigga a couple years ago who sounded like a random biggie…West need to step it up (at least those corny young niggas)
nigga YOU is corny as fuck
just because 106&park is gay and MTV is gayer and your local hip hop station puts greasy ass southern homos up on their billboards in the suburbs don’t mean there’s nothing going on out west
game’s not even that good
but niggas is stupid for hatin on the west… ignorant ass bitches
haha gorilla black or something. that nigga was corny
I agree on the Nipsey Hustle thang, thats the first thing I seen was a lil Snoop!! I fuck with the west 4 sho though!!
old ass nigga
which means he has a lot of wisdom….and hes right….alotta young niggas these days dont respect the game they respect the money…and if they have to fuck someone who helped them come up then fuck em
young ass bitch

Wowwwwwwwwwww!!!Recently, I came across a hot military dating site.
If you put “Blackmilitary” and “friend s ” together, then you will get the great URL
It’s a nice and free place where military personals and civilian friends seeking friendship, love marriage and even more!!!!! Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.
cube is absolutely right.niggas expect another man to hold their hand and make em famous..nobody can’t make u famous.it’s either the fans gonna like u or don’t.this is the sam shit quan is doing with nas.fuck,nas put u on a song.run with it.work on a album and keep building a buzz.drake is a great example of that.wayne didn’t hold his hand.he created a buzz for himself after wayne put him on….niggas get salty too much.nobody owe u shit in this world so get up off your ass and do something instead of hanging out on the block,smokin weed/selling weed, and blaming everyone else that you’re a piece of shit sittting on the block not making anything of yourself….and all you young brothas,please pull your pants up.no reason for ya’ll to be saggin ya pants when wearing skinny jeans.shit makes no damn sense.that some jail shit.and fruity

Bitch niggaz, still wanna check my urine
Still can’t believe, what you see and what you’re hearin’
You motherfuckers, thought you knew the whole story
Until your mama, took a nigga on maury
Read your test results, are you the father
I looked at his bitch ass told him don’t bother
I’m the father of this gangsta shit
Never thought that I have a bunch of bastard kids
Lil’ bad-ass kids, I whoop they ass every night
Send the paramedics bitch, and the black and white
I brought you in this world, I’ll take you out
Do you ugly, so mamma can’t make you out
You know my style a colt, file a report
I’m a dead-beat daddy, no child support
You get fooled like the last trick
Get it out your ass bitch
You niggaz know my pyroclastic flow
Ya’ll niggaz know, ya’ll bitches know
Where you get it from, who’s the original
You got your daddy’s mouth, talk like a criminal
Keep it gangsta son, never get pigeon holed
Rap bastards tryin’ to make a classic
Keep your dumb-ass out of the casket
Cause intercope’ll spend your money, they don’t give a fuck
About a dead rapper, nigga they’ll chop it up
Keep it movin’ y’all, they’ll come mop it up
Corrupt LAPD cover up
Everyday nigga we know drama
They ain’t lookin’ for Osama, ask Biggie’s mamma
Thank God that the gangsta’s back
We ain’t got to put up with this brainless rap
May your lungs collapse, m.c’s are funny
All you can rap about is pussy and money
All y’all rappers should kiss and make up
Take your bullshit jewlry back to Jacob
Get your mind right nigga, and start to wake up
Cause the whole rap industry needs to shake up
You got million dollar niggaz killin’ million dollar niggaz
Bustin’ outta Bentleys, wearin’ chinchillasss
There you go again rollin’ in your limo
Comin’ from the Grammy’s shootin’ out the window
I know the scripture, but there’s something wrong with this picture
What you mad about, diamonds all in your mouth
No car, no niggaz house paid off
I never heard of a rapper gettin’ laid off
Boy, you a fool or you just act crazy
Or you a grown crack baby born in the 80’s
to all you motherfuckers say I went Hollywood
I’m gangsta! I know when I got it good
and there u have it !!!! i would not by a CUBE album if he tried to go backwards , meaning these lil niggas (new rappers) is talkn bout the shit he talked about 15yrs ago…. anytime soldja boy can disrespect ICE-T summn wrong wit that .. CUBE not turning his back CUBE just doing him… ICE CUBE TOP 3 HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cube started this gangsta shit wit Eazy m-fs and now all these young niggas want help from the OGs but dont respect they music if wayne or coochie man or rick ross is your favorite rapper then u were probably an 80s baby or 90s u aint heard shit this music now a days anit rap music its crap music these niggas cant fucc wit the old school i only give props to a few niggas in this era and it aint that many
I feel Cube on that shit though. You get blamed for niggas flopping. Niggas who do make it, get a swole head and leave!! Fuck em Cube!! He aint gotta say no names!! A hit dog will holla!! They just might wanna watch their choice of words and tone when responding to Cube!!
the need for ganster rappers is on the decline.. develop them all you want.. the demand is down.. there was a time N.W.A. was needed.. the necessity is just not there.. the gangster lifestyle has been so glorified over the past fifteen years that suburban kids want to live that way and they don’t even know how to load a pellet gun or have anyone to aim it at. with no target who are ganster rappers going after.. EACH OTHER!!!! say what you want about NWA, and the gangster rappers around that time.. their messages were far more important than their tone.. Express Yourself was just as important as F&^K the police.. at some point the thug mentality has to be shaken.. we’ve got to give it up to go up.. be community organizers and providers in a positive way.. we’ll see what comes in the next five years
I FEEL CUBE 100%, THIS NEW GENERATION IS FULL OF UNGRATEFUL KIDS WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE OG’S HAD TO DO TO MAKE IT. CUBE SAID IT BEST WHEN HE SAID….
“Why don’t I produce up and coming rappers like I used to? I got burnt out. Niggas couldn’t take the baton and run wit [sic] it. I was sick of babysitting grown ass men and walking them through the industry. I felt like Dr. Frankenstein building uncontrollable monsters. How? If you DON’T make ’em a star, they blame you. If you DO make ’em a star, they leave you. I got sick of that ungrateful shit.”
The New generation are not Ungratefull.. But they did not have nor have the life that CUBE had.. I dont know why Cube is so burnt out??? he uses these same young men he is talking about–promising them this and that and then offers T-shirts & CD’s for pay?? He infiltrates by bringing in his so called security or body guards that bring CUBE the ideas and he runs with them and calls them HIS!! Like he has been a Gangster all of his Life and never was!! He aint no OG never has been a Gangster.. He wanted to be I guess but when him and Dre both said when they was with NWA that things got Crazy it was becasue they weren’t used to dealing with no Gangster stuff… So they both got out the NWA game and went about their business.. and did the same thing to some of these youngsters that the Mgr of NWA did to him.. So whose foolin who… Maybe he should show everyone his pictures on the calander of his choir boy days?? The hood that he came from is where he gets people to rap or write about and then HE ROBS them! & then wonders why they hate on him and come back at him & ask whats up w/ my trac’s?? or where do we go from here. He did not get where he is at BY HIMSELF! and He does owe the hood or anyone else on the West Coast the time. Not everyone out here is CrAzy or un-taleneted. or is CUBE just Scared he will loose. ( which if he really looks at it he can’t) He has made his and dont want nobody else to get out in front of him. He’s doing a New TBS show … Are we There yet to be a weekly show.. The same way you got there is the same you will come down… For God did say that he is bringing everyone from the back of the line to the front…of the line… I dont hate on him.. but all of you who don’t really know him on personal level — The Media is something else. The FANS my opinion (THe Latino FANS)helped him get out there in a BIG WAY!! so yes he should reach out there to the community and help young people – teach young people.. He has a MOTHER who is VERY SUPPORTIVE & always has been.. He has family who support him as well.. and yes he does take care of them very well… When CUbe was getting robbed and jumped on who did he call on?? ” The Young Hoodsters to protect hm.. and he dont wna to Give back??? There has to be Loyalty in something if your in the game – and he wanted to be a part of that along time ago when he got with NWA.. so dont stop now because you done made it… You are bad but not that bad… Respectfully submitted… But I am tired of hearing about these rappers who are so wonderful – they got it going on & DONT GIVE BACK!!! look at todays headlines in this same issue… LA REID is giving back to BIG BOI!!! becasue he has something to bring to the table and there alot of young people who do to… Cube I know you aint that selfish… so get your team together and allow them to develope these young people — You will only elevate yourself.. Thats a Promise..
correction.. But they did not have nor have the life that CUBE had– CORRECTION: some did some did not have the lifestyle he had.. some of these young men are very educated..
We’re supposed to help each other.. the attroneys you hire are helping you– the producers you chosse are choosing to help you.. the places you hold your concerts are choosing to allow you to perform.. dont get me wrong I know the business too.. you have to pay for everything — But at the end of the day if
THE FIRM didnt help you make the right choices or edcuate you THEN WHERE WOULD U BE CUBE? Oshea Jackson?? More importantly- do what u do — But GOD has not allowed U to do nothing by yourself..
Franchise always gots something to say and it’s forever ass backwards and hipocritical to his own life style.
I agree with u brotha. IDK if all the facts u said are true or not about Cube but he does have a responsibility to the young emcees. They’re not asking u to make them famous but damn it ain’t wrong to put somebody on who u think has real talent thats ur job as an established successful artist. Thats wrong to keep people back. If they get on and dont thank u, thats on them but at least u did ur part. Not all west coast emcees r gangsta’s matter of fact most aren’t. Cube is a vet in the music industry he knows things young cats might not know, so why not help out. Eazy showed him love by putting him in NWA. It sounds like Cube is talking about Mack 10 as far as naming names but we’ll see. Cube shouldn’t diss the up and coming west coast emcee’s I mean cats like Blu and Fashawn are the future of the west. It’s down right wrong to diss these guys and turn your back on em.
I think Cube got pissed because the new dudes act as if it’s his job to do for them. It is not!! Yes it is okay to help, but no artist is obligated top help another. Plus, the new dudes went at it the wrong way. You mentioned LA Reid and Big Boi. The key phrase that you use is that Big Boi has something to bring to the table. Shit, who wouldn’t work with Big Boi? Crooked I has been around for years now. Face it, he will never blow. Dude ran with Deathrow during their glory days and still hasn’t blown. It takes more than mic battle skills to be successful. ask Ras Kass. Still one of the dopest niggas in hip hop period, but never made it to mainstream. Bishop Lamont was on Aftermath and didn’t do shit. Never heard anything by Glasses Malone. You’re talking about when Cube gets robbed and shit. What does that have to do with hip hop? The new MCs cater to the ignorance of the new fans. “i’m wack, but if I catch a case for beating someone up that makes me great.” Cube can get his ass kicked all day everyday, but on the mic the nigga has done and is still doing his thing. Are their new artists who would serve him ? Yes, but that doesn’t erase his contribution to hip hop. Canibus served LL, but who got the last laugh? New dudes get gassed up by their hype men too much. Outside of a few cats, the west coast is wack anyway. Too many gangbangers want to be rappers out west and they offer nothing new. So no one wants to hear it. The Game got lucky because he hooked up with Dre & 50. Fashawn & Blu are the freshest things out West right now. Why? Because they don’t talk about “I will smoke you” or ” I’ll wet ya.” They don’t need Cube to gain a following.
Ice Cube will body game
Crooked I will body Ice Cube
Snoop bigger than Ice Cube
Dr. Dre has em, 50, and artist he works with ice cube got nuthin
The Freshcoast will kill him in a battle
Ice Cube was great but now hes fading
Maybe Snoop is more popular than Cube right now, but Cube is still bigger. The fact that we are still talking about Cube after 20 years is proof of that. Plus Cube has more classics than Snoop. Snoop is a Pop MC right now. Crooked I is a metaphoric freak, he can’t body anyone. He needs to drop an album first. Cube explained why he doesn’t work with anyone so anyone. Dre is a producer so it is easier to discover & develop talent. Who is the Freshcoast? Bottomline, hip hop as a whole is dead. There isn’t much room for groundbreaking artists anymore because labels want pop, southern hip hop. That’s why Cube and many others took the indy route.
dan u dont make sense and who in the fuck is freshcoast and if they so good y havent i herd of them? oh and cube will live on for ever
You got to be young because Crooked I nor Snoop and no one else can mess with Cube my dude been doing his thing when I was doing mines in the streets and still to this day reppin the West. He is the West along with Game….. I give credit to the young MCs but if yuor garbage somebody gots to take out the trash and thats when ICE CUBE comes in. Much Love To All
Hell Yeah Cube..Fuck these new tight jeans wearing ass niggas….Cube been in the game 20+ years for yall lame niggas who dont believe his G…
Yo, All I can say on dis matter iz it seems like all da blab iz mostly bout who’s a G and who’s fakin and shit. Truthfully, when did hip hop/rap become so stuck on exposing niggas. I don’t give a fuck what these kats do 4real. I listen to rap so I can relate to certain topics and free my mind and soul. Ice cube was once the mufuckin man regardless of if he was a G or not. Every song made by an artist iz not gon be truth always. Its entertainment. But I can say this, I haven’t heard any west coast rappers come out recently that i would listen to. I like Nip Hustle. Tyga do his thing u know. But I’m from the south and I also do me. Myspace.com/dok31794-chek out some of my trax people. But I mean come on, Ice cube don’t owe anybody shit. If he choose to open doors for those up and coming artist, dats great! But if not, dats him. I feel where da nig coming from. It’s kool to be G, But we get into this music shit to leave dat life alone. So focus on good music and talent and stop worrying bout who real and who fake. At the end of the day, We all lie bout something. But stop trying to expose kats people. Again it’s entertainment-Solidd
And yes generations do change as the music changes wit it. Hip hop needs gangsta rap people. That’s part of what kept it alive all these years if you hadn’t noticed. All this dance and swag shit these newbies are droppin iz what’s hot rite now. But u can’t have longevity in the game from sayin shake a leg or drop ya ass lol Not saying dat violence iz da way to go, but it does sale in music. Trust me, u have more killas and dealers than you have stanky leggerz lol That street shit is a way of life so street music will always sale. But dancing iz a past time. It’ll sale but for how long? I wan see how many of these swaggerz and dancers will be doin it in 5 years. I bet the majority will fall off. Flow and style iz what needs to be brought back to hip hop. Everybody coming out sounding the same. I’m an underground artist and trust me when I say I’m styling on these whack new comers. Be da judge and chek some of my trax at myspace.com/dok31794-Solidd
Nigga is you crazy…Them dance rappers aint sellin shit..Go look it up..I dont even see them wack ass motherfuckers on the charts..
thank you for what u said, i cant wait till this lil wayne t pain shit is over, i think i might check u out
Thats kinda harsh Cube…. But I kinda see where he is coming from being that I know four people (personally) he has helped out.
most da nu musiC Gar6o
It’s not neccessary to put [sic] every time someone uses a contraction for a word ending in “ing”.
Cube is spot on.

-DEL (NOW DOING HIS OWN SHIT)
-YOYO (SHE GOT HER REP)
-KAM (TURNED MUSLIM – DONT NEED THE RAPGAME)

man ur list sucks u forgot the godfather gangsta rap Eazy E
you left out TUPAC SHAKUR AND AKIRA SHAKUR AKA ELIJAKAIN…. HOW COULD YOU HAVE LEFT OUT MAKAVELLI THE DON HOMIE! YOU TRILL FOUL FUCKBOY
man i agree wit cube, i grew up on that westcoast g-funk and i still listen to it. to be honest tha only dudes holdin down the west right now is Game, Snoop, And Crooked I. Game feel of lately with these new tracks like Big Money and Krazy! to me it sounds like he trying to be more commercial. and Snoop he just og! as for Crooked I he is ill boy is pure fire all tha time! but what i think Cube’s problem is th new west movement, i think he dont want the new rappers to change the old formula to the new style skinny jean hip-hop! and i think hes tierd of fukkin with it, so with his new album i think hes gonna address the main issues!! and come harder than ever bekuz HE IS THE WEST!
I feel like this, i dont like the so called new west from the perspective of this water down skinny jean jerk bullshit. the west has dumb down quality wise in that area and its hurting us. The west has won a plethora of accolades in the past and present all on the foundation of quality. I understand the whole concept of diversity, yes. But what good is diversity if its leads to embarrassment and subsequent destruction of our pristine reputation to deliver the best artist in the world. Cube,i believe, as a man, business man, and veteran artist reserves the right deny any one access to the game through himself. But he’s doing it for the wrong reason. If he were saying,”hey fuck yall the shit yall doing is garbage i want put it out”. Then hey step your game up gentlemen. But, cube is saying quote,”If you DON’T make ’em a star, they blame you. If you DO make ’em a star, they leave you. I got sick of that ungrateful shit.” The truth is whether Cube made you a star and you bailed on him he still got his investment and probably made a huge profit and if they blamed him because they didn’t make it Cube still got he money. Now the New west from the perspective of true spitters like THE GAME, J-ROCK , G-MALONE ,ELIJAKAIN , DON PERO DENIRO, P-WATTS , TRILL PRADA a lot of new watts rappers spit real live fire. Cube should entertain these new comers with respect and resources because he is getting old and these guys are gona have to hold it down with the same way he did and with the same level of lyrical acuity. Im just saying dont totally negate the needs of the new comers Cube even if it is just advise. Dont go against it cause you will lose.
I understand and agree with him business wise. How ever when it comes to the art I dont think everybody wants to do a track with him to get more famous or anything, I think most of them really admire him and possibly want to appeal to an older audience who are usually skeptical about new artist because the growing trend of suckyness.
But a majority of new artists now dont really try to reach out to too many older rappers. Many of them make music and hustle the game as much as possible. Taking every opportunity and not selling out. I like more positive emcees, so I listen to U-N-I, Pac Div, and Dom Kennedy and more. Those guys do everything themselves and dont try to collaborate too much because they know people want to hear them. Not them and some other people.
So, dont think Ice Cube should name names. I also think he shouldnt do tracks with new comers who havnt proven their worthiness or have already established themselves. But what I think Ice Cube should do if anything is shout out new comers he feel have impressed him and keep on moving. You can do the same thing with a shout out that you can do with a collaboration. If I heard Ice Cube approved somebody, I would check that guy out to see what he sees in him.
so deal is that ogs of the west coast rap game are played out. but then they went to hollywood and never came back from that they are both gangster now but they list them selfs as OGs. see the younger cats out in the streets are now lookin for hand outs there just trying to get them selfs ahead in life and have there name be know as a artist that reps the west and for cube to say fuck em and it is not job nobody saying it is but who put ice cube on eazy e did and then he turned around and said fuck em just like he said to the younger up and comings so when you look at cubes quotes think about it dont bye into hes bullshit the new generation of artists are the west coast now if anybody can recall tupac hes was allways for the next generation thats what the thuglife movement was about comeing together everybody geting paid these days there are a bunch of fuckin banwagon fans if your from the west rep it but if your not put the dubs down and if you are one so called OGs in the rap game that thinks this way dont hide behind a fuckin interview come out to the streets and say it
Dilated Peoples……..nuff said
Most of the kids can’t rap anyway and the industry isn’t interested in anyone who can so who cares if they got their feelings hurt? Go make some bullsnap like Lil Wayne or Drake, get paid, and STFU.
Don’t you just love Ice Cube? He recently dropped by the Philly radio station Power99. Check out his awesome interview! http://www.power99.com/cc-common/ondemand/

To the new guys: Quit bitching and take your craft to a new level. Expand your horizon. Quit rapping about slinging shit being some bad ass and start making a fucking masterpiece already. Put my mind through a journey, don’t just fill it with the same shit I hear for 15 years already.

Rap And Rhyme For -a-Reason. Or Shut-Tha-Fuck Up!!!?
I was trying to figure out why modern rap mostly sounds like some bullsh*t to me. I think it’s because back in the day most MCs were mostly describing the lives they lived. It may have involved ignorance and violence and wontoness, but they weren’t celebrating it. Nowadays (with a few exceptions – Kendrick comes to mind) these rappers sound like they’re glorifying all the worst aspects of gang culture.
I’m put in mind of an article I read about Bobby Shmurda. It talked about how in the OG rappers’ videos they looked stone faced and serious, but in the new school they talk about murder and viciousness and act like its a party going on. It also reminds me of something someone else said (I think it was Eminem) about coming into the industry and *not* being a gangster, but then life in the industry forced him to adopt the same persona he was rapping about.
I think its a lot like that for a lot of these baby-gangsters. They don’t live the life and when they blow-up they feel like they need to “prove” their persona. If you really lived the life you wouldn’t act like it was a game.
Or maybe I’m just old.
Yeah,Cube az far az thiz rap shyt go. Cube still packz punchz of street lyricz & flowz. Hez not a street nigga,But hez street smart & educated,industry sabbie. Cube word Bond!
Rappers are shit these days nothing like the real old school rappers Dre, Ice, Biggie, Tupac, Eminem, Naz etc…. Those men were real and true, talked about real shit and was cleaver with the way they expressed their selves. All the old best made sense when they rapped, these youngsters talk crap! I can listen to BIG, em, Dre etc… all day long and never get bored, they were the ones that made me love hip hop
Play too short the getto, then play any of Nicky minaj songs both somehow hip hop and then ask yourself is here problem with new hiphop
He has a song thats called sick them youngins on em. So I guess he changed his tune.
Talk about advertising! Really clever, Mr. Cube!
but I do agree with what he said
i hate new school rap i like nwa biggi eaze
i agree, but i also like tupac
LMFAO ICE CUBE ACTING LIKE EAZY E WASNT SPITTING THE DUMBEST LYRICS OF THE 90’S
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
As soon as black people understand the loby behind whats going on in the world it would be too late. The loby behind the kardashians and all the shit is toexterminate the black race….the governments cant exterminate by killing blacks so they decided to mixed the race slowly but firmly. Media, hollywood, movies, tv adverts etc etc inducing to all that crap…..
