Since Ice Cube is dropping his new album “I Am The West” on September 28th, it’s only right that he connected with the West Coast News Network, dubcnn, for an exclusive interview to discuss the project. We met with Cube on the set of his video shoot to “Too West Coast” with WC and Young Maylay and he tells us about the making of the album, differences to his last one “Raw Footage” and his expectations.
We also speak about the artist-fan relationship, which has completely changed with the digital age where artists are in direct contact with their audience.
Cube tells us about the planned Dr. Dre tracks that didn’t make the album, the E-A Ski and DJ Quik collaborations and why sometimes things do not go as originally planned when recording an album.
He also tells us why he never tried to stop his sons Doughboy and OMG (who are also featured on two songs on the album) from rapping, and what made him want to feature Young Maylay on the album.
Check out all that and much more in our exclusive video interview with Ice Cube:
