Quote from: EFFeX on March 05, 2010, 11:58:25 AMI already discussed this issue too much this morning, but I'll say it again.This is the last thing the West needs right now. I understand that controversy can increase album sales, but does squashing upcoming emcees really help the West as a whole (considering that's what Cube claims this album is going to do).how would this boost his album sales? The people in question that he's supposedly gonna diss havent sold beyond what he has. People will just download this diss and talk about it on the internet....the average Ice Cube fan that doesnt heavily keep up with stuff on the internet is not gonna know about them 3 or go out and buy a Cube album just cause he mentioned them.Until these artists can accomplish something past just leaking free songs that have "thousands" of downloads....they can't even begin to claim they are next up to take Cube's place.In the past 5 years it's only been one new 'west coast' artist doing something worth noticing and thats The Game..Cube doesn't owe any new artists a single thing.

I would rather se Ice Cube work with Crooked i on a track for his new album, that would be so dope.Crooked i is right though, the west coast vets need to start supporting the talented rappers from the west.
interesting.ice cube a legend,he is the westcoast.he started gangsta rap and he the only rapper that been out since the 80's and still relavant.but crooked i a murder cube in this new day and age of rap.
