Ice Cube says "YES" to Nas/Scarface collabo album

[Lunatic]

^ you're crazy for what you said about Scarface and Ice Cube there

especially about letting Cube pick the beats

u didn't like those 2 songs?
nas has a better ear for beats than cube? lol
nas has great lyrics but always bad beats

let scarface pick em then..anyone but nas lol

[penenstamp]

I didn't play that Scarface album much, so there ya go. Nas is not my favorite (type of) rapper, so I'm not judging him. Ice Cube proved to me with his last two albums (especially his awful last album) he does not have a good ear for beats.

Cube got a better ear than Nas

[soopadoopaflykid]

the only thing i can see that would be stoppin this project is Def Jam wit Nas allowin him to do a group project like this but face & cube could do this easily cuz their indies and can do w/e

[Lunatic]

drop it on Lench Mob/Rap-A-Lot! lol

[pootypooty]

How about some Mike Dean production? 

[R1ZE]

This would be cool but... kinda out of left field.

gimme a geto boys album
gimme an nwa album
gimme a nas/jay or nas/az or nas/primo album

or the firm? ....nahhh

It would be a dope album but the biggest piece as far as label politics goes is not in yet. Once he signs on, it comes down to Def Jam signing off on him. I'm sure the artists will be willing but the labels gotta agree too. I think that's a dope collabo album as far as East/West/South goes. There might be better rappers from each region ("might") but I can't think of three who would sound as dope together on one album. This could be interesting but as we've learned with other great preposed projects, it ain't worth getting hyped about until it hits the store shelves.

You should go back and check out Made again. One of the best albums to drop last year

The 3 Kings of their region (ok, maybe not now, but when you think of the crowns, these are the 3 that first enter your mind after the 2 legends.). It would be unbelievable. I always just wanted a song from these 3, and add in Common. But an album would be more than I can ask.

Ok, Ice Cube did say yes, but what about the 2 others? 

[Laconic]

Love for this to happen but it seems like there would be far too many people trying to get a piece of the pie.  That's the funky part Cube is talking about.  I think Nas (and his label situation) is the biggest obstacle, no doubt.  Otherwise, I could see this happening.

Well, Face was actually the one who planted the seed in the first place. He mentioned in an interview that he was done doing solo albums but if a special situation existed like a group album with Nas-Cube, he'd do more records. I think Face would be onboard in a heartbeat. Like I said, I think Nas would be open to do the album but then it's Def Jam. It would be some hot shit but music is still business and the more closer it comes to a reality, the more close people's fingers get to fucking with the project. I hope to see it but just because Cube says he'd like to do it, there is still going to be a time when people start asking about money and that is when the album either happens or falls apart. Thing is the people woofing about the cash probably won't even be the guys who actually go in the booth. Who knows though. I think this album would be awesome for hip-hop if it were to be realized but the industry is political as fuck.

[T-Dogg]

If they make that happen    3 legends from east, south & west. what more can we ask?

dre as exec...

Music wise, that would probably be true. The product would more likely reach its true potential.

However, messing with Dre means messing with big business. With major labels getting involved in projects like this the money's spread around too much, the artists don't get what they feel they deserve out of it and the record never gets made. Indie is the only way. But with Nas at Def Jam... don't know. Maybe they'd let him do it, maybe not. They'd surely want a piece of the pie though.

If they did it, undoubtedly should be indie.  Fuck Dr. Dre his dick is way to far up Jimmy Iovine's ass to be associated w/ some shit like this.  It would do nothing but completely fuck it up.  Assemble a production team to do the bulk of the beats.  And everybody MUST be in the studio together producers and rappers- no emailing verses / beats.  Shit will not come off right if they're not in the studio creating together.

And that right there would be the kicker along w/ label politics.  Getting everyone together at the same time.
