Ice Cube, Mack 10 and W.C. formed the Westside Connection supergroup in 1994 and appeared together on Mack’s single “Westside Slaughterhouse” from his 1995 self-titled debut. But after two group albums albums, the trio disbanded in 2005 due to a conflict between Cube and Mack.
The rumor was Cube’s brother-in-law wound up getting a beatdown. During a recent interview with VladTV, Mack partially explained what happened, noting there was a lot more that went down behind-the-scenes before things got physical.
When asked about the incident, Mack said, “It was an unfortunate situation as far as what came out of all of that. The stories you heard, most of em …what did you hear?
Vlad responds he heard Cube’s brother-in-law got “beat up,” to which Mack says, “What else did you hear? It ain’t like that just happened. There was conflict, yeah. But I went to Cube about four or five times before the conflict jumped off and told him to correct the situation. So that’s the part that everybody leave out, I think. Nobody didn’t intend on starting nothing or nothing even escalating to that level. If you go to somebody five time before it escalate, then you was trying to be diplomatic about the situation.”
As Mack has stated in previous interviews, he didn’t think the conflict was worth splitting up the group.
“It depends on how weird you wanna be ’cause if was my wife’s brother, I would’ve told him can’t fuck my money up and he can’t be out of line with nobody I’m getting down with, and if you got that big of a problem with him, stay at home,” he continued. “It depends on how you handled it. My wife’s brother wouldn’t have stopped shit for me. Me and Cube didn’t have no fight or no nothing like that. We had an argument. I thought that was it.”
Mack added W.C. wasn’t involved in the situation.
In a 2010 interview with AllHipHop, which has since been taken down, Mack maintained Cube’s brother-in-law was ill-mannered at the time. But the number of times Mack tried to squash things with Cube has grown over the years.
“Basically, I didn’t do anything to him and he didn’t do anything to me,” he said. “We had an argument and I guess it was taken the wrong way because his wife was present. If she wasn’t there, we would probably still be doing records. His brother-in-law was disrespectful in a certain way. I don’t know what kind of dude he is now, but back then he was disrespectful. It was brought to Cube about three or four times before the bullshit happened.
“If I bring something to you three or four times and you don’t do anything about it – I mean just because a kid is your kid doesn’t mean he has the right to go spitting about anybody. The argument and the brother-in-law wasn’t worth throwing away The Westside Connection over in my opinion. When I heard the ‘kiss the ring’ comment I just had to laugh because that’s comedy. That’s where I’m at with it. I don’t know what he’s tripping off of.”

Your always better off keeping your family and your business as far away from each other as possible.
Side note, Mack 10 is either hitting the gym hard or has some form of cancer because last time I seen this dude he had to have been about 150lbs heavier at least.
Stopped eating when the money stopped
Westside Slaughterhouse was a song not the album title check yo facts
Foe life
I once heard Biggie say, “money and blood don’t mix.” From what I’ve heard so far, this may be the case for Cube. There’s a lot that can go wrong in the industry so whilst it’s good surround yourself with people with your best interests at heart, there’s also a need to safeguard your relationships with them and between them and the other company you keep by not getting them too involved. Cube has had complicated relationships with Dre,the former NWA members but to name a few over his approach. This may be another prime example of why his system may be flawed. In the end, it’s too late for any of them to turn back now. Another opportunity missed.
Your brother in law ain’t blood.
Yeah he’s a crip.
No Mack a blood and Cube not affilated
The group colours was red, blue and black.
Mack and Cube are cousins dummy
No they AINT!!!
No they AINT
He’s not, but his wife would certainly get involved, and she’s definitely going to front for her brother.
The facts speak for themselves. Clearly an in-law is blood to Cube if he or she is reason enough for you to refuse to mediate in times of conflict, break-up a legendary hip-hop group and sever ties some of those you came up with.
Unfortunately for Mack 10 he needs Ice Cube not vice versa
nah mack 10 is a real one, cube is the one who needs street credibility… i can see the shift in his music after the split, he def calmed that g shit down… peace
No one needs street crediblity anymore. It’s 2020 my guy, everyone gets a pass for everything now. You’re living in the past dude.
Street credibility for what lol? Cube got bigger things to worry about. You think he’s thinking about the streets. Open up your minds people!
Dat aint no muuufukin Mack 10 dat nicca skinny as fuk who this nicca fo real
I love both WSCG albums. I hope they will work together in the future.
Everybody wants to question Cube’s career decisions and business acumen. Meanwhile Cube is 35 years strong in the game, rich, healthy, happy, and positive. What’s the problem?
Fuck my brother-in-law! Dude lives in my house, and I want to beat his ass too. That would cause more problems with my wife tho, and such is the dilemma.
Set up a boxing match and have your wife as the official (referee). Have to win though (obviously) or your in law will bring that shit up forever lmao.
I love when irrelevant rappers come out of the wood work with a random story from 20 years ago that no one was even thinking about. Like what was the point of this story again? Obviously Westside Connection is done that was like some mid 90’s stuff. Did he just come to this conclusion recently? He woke up was like what happemd to that group I actually sold records with…oh yeah I punched Cunes cousin my bad lol
PUSSY U DON’T KNOW SHIT KEEP BUMPIN THAT SUCKA SHIT YOU THINK IS HIP HOP OR RAP BUBBLE GUM PUNK
You sound RETARDED. Mack didn’t bring shit up…he was being INTERVIEWED, and the INTERVIEWER ASKED him a question. All he did was answer it.

Dude aint had it hit sinve like ’99 so your dusty muffin top azz can just stfu plus Cube already said this never happend. See what happens when your old fav wrappers get on that dust? They never come off of it old sucked up lookin woman beatin crack head! But thats your boy tho! O.K lol

Lol at all the white people commenting on black culture. Your white culture is so pathetic that u even have to talk/spell black online just to look cool. But we can tell all you white pretenders out, shits laughable.
Nice to see that you still play this white vs black nonsense ? when will you stop acting like a victim and grow up? I mean there there are much greater enemy’s out there like the media that spin this whole white vs black bullshit, but I’m glad you are to stupid to figure it out. There is one race dummy, the human race
Shits laughable like your ignorant comment saying you can tell someones race by what they write well you must be white because you spelled everything correctly and didnt use any ebonics
Obvious white troll is obvious

Ice Cube aint no gang banger anyway, Monster Kody said it( R.I.P Monster Kody) but cube is not no tough guy he perpertrates like he is tho
bout to elect the real 1: yale/harvard educated race soldier & fools still fighting in the playground. the made in south africa 1 is equally a threat. there are more blacks in prison then there ever were in slavery. there’s a war on black history and hbcu’s are the next target… and you’re more concerned about street cred than your credit rating. this ain’t about women, the kids, the whites, the so-called allies… this is about YOU. Cube understands that:
