Ice Cube says that Drake won in his feud with Meek Mill.
“Drake is winning right now,” Cube says to The Daily Beast. “But, you know, Meek could come back.”
The 46-year-old finds the back-and-forth, which has featured Tweets and diss tracks, entertaining.
“It’s funny,” Cube says. “To me it’s like going back to the essence of Hip Hop. Who can rap the best? I don’t think anybody’s going to get jumped or get their asses whooped, but it’s fun to sit back and watch.”
The N.W.A rapper has had his fair share of experience with Rap beef. He recorded 1991’s “No Vaseline” to diss his group members and explain why he went solo. He says that after getting into a physical altercation with Eazy-E‘s artists, he and the late N.W.A member realized fighting was counterproductive to their success.
“We were like, ‘We should just keep this on wax,'” Cube says. “‘No matter how mad we get and how much shit we talk. Let’s keep it on wax because once we take it to the streets it ain’t Hip Hop no more. It’s gangbanging.’ We all fought to try to get out of the gangbang lifestyle and not have to deal with that every day. Why go back?”
The fight is featured in the forthcoming N.W.A biopic, Straight Outta Compton, due out in theaters August 14.

Ice cube the Gangbanger!
I think M & M would tear the fur off Drake ass !!!!
When was Cube ever in the gangbangin’ lifestyle, lol? I love the brother’s music, but keep it 100.
Bruh!!! This sounds so stupid. Thats all I gotta say. Go do your HW before dropping comments like this.
Dumb ass , where you think he from , the suburbs ? Just because he didnt glorify it , doesnt mean he aint live it. This generation is all fucked up
Young cats these days don’t do they research. Cube from South Central LA homie. One of the roughest places in world. Niggas bein dying in them streets daily back when Cube was coming up. Crips and Bloods was born in them streets. But young ins nowadays think Drake a real hood nigga and don’t know shit.
I ain’t young. I actually bought the NWA albums when they came out, so I think you probably talking to the big homie, not the little one. Everybody around NWA said Dube ain’t never been in no fuckin’ streets. Eazy was. Ren was. Dre and Cube weren’t. But tell me some more shit “you know,” lol. I’ll wait.
I’m here to drop some knowledge on da lame who was commenting below. Cube been called out numerous times by other rappers for being a fake azz banger and for lying about smoking weed. Cypress hill called him out on it and everybody from cubes hood know he was never
Bout dat life.
Wow! I guess y’all just thought Cube went straight to Disney movies huh? Cube from Compton bruh .. There was NO CITY in the country worse than that place. I’m 42yrs old, I grew up following their careers. Them dudes really lived that lifestyle, but they had no other choice.
Cube from South Central, not Compton. But understand what you were trying to say.
Cube ain’t from Compton. Eazy was.
Cube lived in a good neighborhood and school and lived with his parents even when NWA was going on. He was a good poet though no doubt.
DRIZZY STR8 BEASTIN’ ON NICCAS! Nobody want it with Drake, even Ice Cube knows.

this drake thing remind me of this oscar’s dude, running around saying he won a statue, getting free comps, unlimited selfies, daps, but the statue was fake, he a blogger, and even when inside edition was interviewing him some lame couple came up in awe wanting a picture. bunch of face value, wanting attention followers that’ll bow down to anything looking important so u feel like u a part of it
