Mack 10 has been in the news quite a bit as of late. Unfortunately for the west coast rapper, he has been sued for unpaid studio time, as well as having to be hospitalized for emergency stomach surgery.
On the other hand, the ever-enterprising rapper recently released the album Money Music with Glasses Malone as Mack & Malone. But what of his past as a member of Cali super group Westside Connection, which consisted of Mack 10, Ice Cube and WC?
In a recent interview with VIBE, the rapper revealed that he has no intention of reuniting with Ice Cube – even on a personal level. “I haven’t spoken to Cube in a long time…like years,” explained Mack. “I don’t know if we will ever speak again. I haven’t given it much thought. It’s all about Hoo Bangin’ now. Outside of that, I can’t really think about it. That’s the way you have to approach this business right now. This is not 1995 anymore.”
Additionally, Mack 10 spoke about signing Xzibit to his Hoo Bangin’ label. “He does his acting thing, but he can still rap his ass off,” said Mack of the veteran west coast emcee. “He’s a real emcee…that’s why I signed him. He’s been working on his record. It’s probably going to come out in August.”
that shit spoiled my day.
oh come on folks dont b throwig all this hatred @ MACK 10 honestly i really do rate him he’s gud,its unfortuate WESTSIDE CONECTION’s no more.I kida agree wit Leaf i mean they should focus on signing fresh talet.
McRen in Westsideconnection!!!
Hell yeah Ren was always my fav NWA member
fuk em then…young maylay would fit right in as the 3rd member…id like to see that happen…
why is xzibit signed to mack 10? really? mack 10 was always gargabe to me
EXACTLY
Is anyone asking for Westside Connection to reunite? The first album was good but if you asked me Ice Cube has never recovered from it. Ever since that album his style completely changed into that “Yaa-aaay” Don Mega shit.
i agree except for laugh now, cry later and parts or raw footage
Yeah, I don’t want Westside Connection to reunite.
Bow Down was great, but Terrorist Threats sucked. There were maybe three, four good songs. And even those were worse than everything on Bow Down.
It didn’t sound like a West Coast album – it sounded like it was chasing all the stupid trends of the ’00’s.
Also, Mack 10 was the weak link in Westside Connection. Ice Cube was Ice Cube, WC had that crazy unique flow….Mack 10 just kind of filled in the blanks.
It’s sad they won’t work out their issues, though. 40-year-old people shouldn’t hold grudges like that. Leave beef to the young and dumb.
Props to Mack for signing Xzibit, though. That’s a pretty huge get.
u suck… both them albums waz great, cmon mack put da b.s a side get bak best rap group on da west, least 1 of dem.
he gets props for signin the homie mitchy slick too but i hope he doesnt keep his ass on the shelf.
haha even if westside connect reunited they wouldn’t want mack10. Truth was right, he was just there to fill in the blanks.
And wtf with the 40year olds still beefin’ with one another, nigga should grow the fuck up thinkin’ he still gangsta and talkin’ all that bullshit.
Better be releasing albums from all these other niggas he’s signed.
how the fuck is westside connection a supe group Dre snoop and tupac wouldve been a super group… X is hot tho very underrated
New Westside Connection- Cube, WC, And Kurupt… That would be dope…
I don’t think rappers should sign rappers. Like, what Young Buck said, the Boss don’t wanna be outshined. 50 KNEW Buck and Game was gonna come up and surpass him. He couldn’t have that happen, so he got rid of them. Ball & G sign to TI….look what happened. Mack 10 signed MC Eiht…look what happened. BG signed to TI….ain’t nothin really pop off for him. Drake and Nikki got the potential to surpass Wayne. We gotta wait and see.
Xzibit, start ya own label and drop ya own shit.
I agree. That’s one of the industry rules. Also Xzibit is a household name and bigger than Mack 10. It should be the other way around.
Xzibit had some big time money problems he shoulda stayed with Strong Arm Steady if he wanted to stay relevant. Now he needs to pimp his career.
Man all yall old ass niggas need to give it up and go learn some new shit. your rap days are over Go open some youth centers or sign some new fresh talent. No one wants to hear yall old ass niggas no more, selfish asses dont wanna bring in or find any new talent, ya bitch asses would be jealous. yall niggas is dam near 50 years old still trying to rap and be in the business. You cant get your own distribution so just use the money to help people instead of wasting it on dead projects with old ass rappers.
Man u r dumb. Why is not wanting to retire selfish. And what music for beyond rap are you over the hill after 40? Look @ The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, U2, ect. They all have fans that continue to support them and they continue to put out quality music, and go on tours selling tickets like they did in their prime! But it would be horrible for a Big Daddy Kane, KRS-1, PE, or Rakim still had major label support and put of music available to the masses and tours on the scale if their rock n roll counterparts. And why is it there job to find new artist. Labels have A&R departments for that. And if having older artists stil making music stops new talent from coming out, then they were not ready to come out to start with.
Leaf you are a fucking idiot fuck boy
I agree with Leaf primarily because of the juvenile subject matter of hip-hop.
West Side Connection need to straighten out the bullshit and get back together.
I thought by now these guys would have everything figured out… They’re getting on up there in age I hope they get it together before it’s too late. (see Dr. Dre and Eazy E)
homie its game time! ni99a here i come!
after RED album GAME going to join westside connection with WC and ICE CUBE!
now thats a SUPER GROUP!!!
KURUPT should get up awnit 2!!
Somebody hit Mack 10 up on Twitter and let him know that Cube is too busy making moves in Hollywood to waste time reuniting with this Hoo bangin homo.
