Earlier in the year rapper Ice Cube took to the internet to express his distaste for a number of up and coming rappers representing the “New West.” The California rapper has now revealed in an interview with AllHipHop.com that he has no issue with these new West Coast artists.
“All that shit is squashed, [we] are keeping the unity on the West Coast,” Ice Cube revealed to AllHipHop.com. “They know I’m down to work any of them at any time, so there really ain’t anything to perpetuate. I’m glad niggas was men about and just said ‘Yo it ain’t no beef’ and squashed it. The New West and the Old West can always work together to make money.”
The rapper took to his blog back in March of this year to call out the rappers stating that, “They can’t make a name for themselves so they need help from the O/G’s.” A number of rappers including Nipsey Hussle and Jay Rock responded to Ice Cube’s blog curious as to why they were being called out.
“WATTS UP WIT ICE CUBE TALKIN KRAZY ABOUT NEW WEST NIGGAS.IF HE GOT A PROB WIT 1 OF US HE SHUD SAY R NAME N STOP BN SCARED 2 CALL A NIGGA OUT,” Jay Rock said in a Tweet in regards to Ice Cube’s blog entry.
The New West rappers have yet to respond to Ice Cube’s comments about ending their beef and working together.
after your album flopped cube?
losing respect for you
because he “flopped”? why, cause sales even matter right? stfu, he doesnt give a fuck how much respect you lost for him. it doesnt matter if his shit “flopped,” the majority of people who didnt purchase his album were the 14-year-olds mainstream rappers are marketed towards, causing his “flop.” id rather him sell less to these idiots than more.

ps: hiphopdx, your website’s integrity blows. lrn2code, noobs.
nah cuz he was acting all brolic b4 sayin he shouldn’t have to cosign the new west for them to come up.
i’m not a young’en, i agreed wiht him on that but it seems right after he flopped he wannna sing some kumbaya shit and let’s get money together. FOH
no country for old sukas
man yall retarded! Cube album didnt flop that shit was super ill!! an notice no new niggas stepped up to the plate when he called them out! haaa! jay rock the only nigga that got balls!! Respect ya Elders Nigga!!!!!
Ice Cube is a legend but I thought he showed he was a baby on this whole thing because he felt he became irrelevant in the west he had his run and its time for new guys to carry the torch it showed a form of jealousy and envy and he knew he was wrong none of this guys disrespected him on anything these legends are thinking they are gods and ppl should worship them there’s only one god Jesus Christ they should be respected but not worshiped thats my opinion
The promotional “beef” can be squashed now as the Cube album is already out.
ICE CUBE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE RAPPERS OF ALL TIME, BUT HE NEEDS TO TAKE HIS “L.” STARTING DRAMA TO CREATE A BUZZ FOR THAT WACK ASS ALBUM THAT BRICKED. THAT MUST’VE BEEN A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE.
So once your Album FLOPS!!!!!! Now you want to squash shit. Man Fuck you Ice Cube. You have been lame since 99′. You thought the old heads would ride with you and support you, so you decided to do their bidding and call out the new school. But guess what the old head fans, who preach about, rap from the 90’s are all hypocrites, those losers don’t buy albums, more than likely they broke, with bills and shit.
It’s only the young ppl 16-25 that buy the majority of shit, so if you can’t cater to them then you aren’t gonna get paid.
Ice Cube is a loser, man has zero integrity, and Zero rap money, stick to movies, ya lame. Your lyrics are elementary, go read a book, you lame.
Wait a minute Muthaf_cka,Ain’t Nobody buyin sh*t Now but these white ppl & girls,but Cube has fail off since ’93 Lethal injection album,Lyrics are way under par.Need that Pro blk cube back!!!
NIIIIGGGGAAAAA SHUTTHAFUUUCKUUUP!!!!!! LOSERS??? BITCHASSKYPACKER, U THA LOSER, FYI IM A OLD HEAD AND I STILL BUY GOOD MUSIC, SEE, PROBLEM IS U NIGGAS REALLY THINK SOMEBODY IS JEALOUS OF U???????!!! COME OFF THA BOO BOO LIL NIGGA, THE BEEF IS WITH THE LEVEL OF BULLSHIT U NEW PUSSIES REPRESENT; SKINNY JEANS, AUTOTUNE, METROSEXUAL & HOMOSEXUAL RAPPERS, YALL RESPECT MUTHAFUCKAZ WITH NO SUBSTANCE WHATSOEVER!! OF COURSE WE GON’ HAVE SHIT 2 SAY! BITCHES LIKE U REALLY WISH THEY COULD SILENCE THE REAL SO U CAN RUN WILD WITH THIS GAY RAP….FUUUUUCCKKKUUUU!!!!!!I KNOW ITS SOME YOUNG NIGGAZ OUT THERE WHO KNOW WHAT THE REAL IS AND THEY RESPECT IT.BITCH, U SAY CUBE HAS NO RAP MONEY????WHEN U BARELY GOT ENOUGH TO RIDE THE BUS??? HE GET U SUM!!!!!
Jay Rock sound like a typical l.a. nigga. super gangsta Garbage. Trust me listin to a random l.a. nigga demo, then listen to him, they’ll sound alike. its 2010 nobody cares what hood u from nigga. niggas dun heard it all by now. Nipsey aint so bad. Jury still out on him>
Wow kids these days are ignorant these days. Talkin down to Cube is like talkin down to every rapper from ’88 to the present. Recognize that N.W.A. made the movement into the golden era. Now you’re all praising half assed artists, fuckin disgusts me.
Word. Niggas is dilusional nowadays. cube made more money off a flop then these nigga did in their entire careers. Hip hop has changed. cant measure success on sales, only judge contents. Not sales. Its irrevelant
So what, I have nothing but the utmost respect for everything Cube has accomplished in his career but that doesn’t give him a pass for this bullshit, trying to make a statement on the new generation and then just taking it back like that. Dude needs to think about what he says and say what he means, this just looks like begging for attention.
@jesse…
PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP…Cube gets MAJOR HONORS & props for N.W.A, his first few lp’s & his whole impact on Hip-Hop…but that doesnt’ mean that we have to KEEP giving him a LATE-PASS when he drops straight duds (except 3 songz) & names his lp, “I Am The West”…naw dawg…if Cube is going to talk unprovoked shit on ‘The New West’ & name his LP what he named it…dude needs to come up with HEAT…I don’t care if you’re an O.G. or a new bootie…just bring HEAT to the table. If you’re an verteran rapper & you still making music & you want to be still considered relevant…just do you & bring HEAT. Dudes like me will gladly go out to one of few record stores in existence & buy a physical of your material & gladly shell out money for your shows & merch…but if don’t bring us no heat…I’m not about to go in SELF-DENIAL that your new shit is bunk…just because you brought HEAT 15-20 years ago
yes, twoholla, yes. perfectly on point mothafucka, thats exactly it. btw i have every cube album on physical cd. even the kill at will ep. same for every member of n.w.a and the d.o.c. same for a lot of hip hop actually i spend g’s on this. music is worth breaking the bank to me. i dont want these guys to ever stop, it would kill me, so i do what i can.
i even bought i am the west. opening week so at least it was only 10.00, but damn even that was too much. i followed you into the dirt cube with the war and peace shitholes. and back into the semi-light with your last couple. but dman cube, after what you put me through with i am the west, i am done supporting and rewarding you for making bad music, you on your own unless you genuinely impress.
and remember i can talk whatever shit i want about cube, this a straight o.g. you talking to. like cube said, “google me bitch”-gross
Ha yea Cube’s “willing” now that his album’s a dud.
Love his old shit, I DO respect the shit outta Cube but cmon yall I Am the West was wack as shit
summed up perfectly, i agree 100%
@Boom
DAMN homie…I gotta co-sign with you 200%. The worst part of Cube’s dud LP is that he named it, “I Am The West” He should’ve named it…”ICE CUBE’S WAY ‘HELLA’ ARROGANT RAMBLINGS” Well fuck it…i’mma smoke a fat one & listen to some Jay Rock, Nippsey Hussle, & WC’s ‘Guilt by Affiliation’ CD
Cube fell the fuck off.
People put him in top 10s and top 20s, but lets face it, lyrically, he would be ripped to shreds by dozens upon dozens of MCs.
who exactly is cube quoting when he says the whole “it ain’t no beef” thing. i’ll quote cube on who this came from: ‘niggas’ lol. shits a bunch of crap he probably trying to pave the way for OMG. make sure no artists beef and destroy his career before he can sell 50k over a ten year career. cube ain’t on shit with this whole issue, it makes him look like a mess. he ain’t talk to anybody.
write another shitty movie. all his movies have been some simple bland shit
Cube should stand by his original words and not care what a few no name bum rappers thought about being called out. Cube is too succesful to be mincing words and sitting on the middle of the fence. Either stand behind what you say or don’t say it.
Pussy move!
That’s all I can say, how you gonna change your word like that? He knew he could never battle all these new dudes by himself so he joined them! LOL!
This dude got you fooled just like pac did WHACK-ASS WEST COAST
who cares?
This shit is crazy! I’mma keep it real…..I’m a big Cube fan, and I ain’t cop Cube’s new cd yet. from what i heard, ain’t make me wanna haul ass out to the store or download it off iTunes. Squashing the beef IS a good move. Why? ‘Cause it was dumb to start with….but I think it was taken the wrong way…..as the OG’s are fading out, they want someone who’s going to carry the torch (Baby ain’t gotta rap again…..he KNOWS Lil Wayne reps the south and Cash Money….and the rap game.) If all the west coast OG’s stop making music, who would reps and run the west coast? (Tyga? Cali Swagg Distric? Nipsey? Jay Rock? I’m not dissing, I’m asking a question…..I’m from the east coast….don’t know who’s popping locally, but who, on a national level, is the man out west?) I feel that Cube, Snoop, Dre, JT The Bigga Figga, E-40, Yukmouth, DJ Quik, etc. should help the TALENTED new west niggas. I’m from DC, and was raised on west coast music….I wanna see the west win again.
so true! Im from the west n the biggest thing the west got so far is Game when he came out after that it die out!
lol niggas took offence
do you like titties? big bootys? drugs? jackass pranks?
