New Jay Rock Interview About Cube

[thug child]

XXLMag.com: Let’s cut right to the chase; is there any beef on your end with Cube?

Jay Rock: There’s no hard feelings or beef between me and Ice Cube. I just take it personal when somebody says fuck us [the new West]. I’ve worked extra hard to get to where I am and I’ve done it with no co-sign from no one and I’m not looking for a co-sign from Cube or any other rapper. Like I said [on Twitter] all I need is my mic, my fans, my hood and this big ass gun on my side and I’m good to go.

XXLMag.com: But still, it sounded like you were calling him out?

Jay Rock: Yeah, I was calling him out. I wanted him to say who he was talking about instead of making it look like he could’ve been talking about all of us new rappers. It’s a lot of people that’s hot about what he said but I guess I was the only nigga that felt the need to speak out about it. Where I’m from in the NG’s [Nickerson Gardens housing projects] we don’t bite our tongue. We was taught by our O.G.’s to call a nigga out on whatever.

XXLMag.com: From your perspective, what’s the situation out West? Does that play a part in why you decided to speak up?

Jay Rock: From my perspective we coming for the No. 1 spot again. It’s a lot of young hot new rappers—including myself—grindin’, making a name for themselves and helping pick our coast back up. So when Ice Cube said, “Fuck these new wack ass L.A. MC’s,” he got me hot, man!

XXLMag.com: Did you get any flack from other artists for what you wrote?

Jay Rock: Since I spoke on it a lot of rappers been calling and saying they was happy I spoke on it. But I tell everybody it’s no problem or beef with me and Cube. I’m just asking that he make it clear to the world who he’s talking about, or who he’s not talking about, so the fans won’t be lost and think every new rapper on the coast is wack and need a lifeline.

XXLMag.com: Do you feel like Ice Cube was talking about you specifically?

Jay Rock: Hell, nah! I know he wasn’t talking about me but some of my fans felt like he could’ve been talking about me and I was like, “Nah, he not talking about me.” I don’t need no co-sign or lifeline from no nigga. I’m already doing my thang. I never had a convo with homie and never dissed him… But then folks from other coasts that I fuck with was like, “What’s up with that shit? Who’s he talking about?”

XXLMag.com: If you didn’t feel he was talking about you, then why did it seem like you took it so personal?

Jay Rock: I felt without him saying who he was talking about, that was a slap in the face of all the rappers in L.A. that’s been grindin’ hard and it confused a lot of fans because they don’t know who he talking about and what’s going on behind the scenes.

Besides this ain’t the first time where he said something foul. The Source asked him something like, “What did he think of myself, G. Malone, and Bishop [Lamont]?” His response was like, “They ain’t saying or doing nothing new.” This kinda been going on for a minute. So I addressed it.

XXLMag.com: A lot of people are going to say that you’re just salty or bitter. Is that the case?

Jay Rock: Let me clear this up for all the Ice Cube dick riders who feelings got hurt… I’m really a Cube fan and I know he paved the way for niggas like me. In my comments I never dissed him. I’m not looking for no attention in that way. I’m on the cover of XXL right now and I’ve been in every other magazine out. I’ve had videos on BET and MTV so attention is not what I’m looking for from this. To be real, it’s the same thing he was on when he was coming up. Shit, the name of his group was “Niggas With Attitude.” They spoke up on whatever they was feeling. So why is it so wrong when I say something? But I don’t need no verse or no co-sign because I’m already on, champ, and I got crazy bars!

XXLMag.com: How would you have liked to see Cube handle this situation to begin with?

Jay Rock: Like an O.G. would have. Pull the young homies to the side, check ’em if he have to and let them know what they doing wrong and why he don’t fuck with them. Every rapper on our coast respect what he has done for our coast and they will listen to what he has to say. He’s done what we are trying to do.

XXLMag.com: Any final message for your fans before you go?

Jay Rock: I just want my fans to know as long as I have them, I don’t need nobody else. I do respect legends in the game but if they playing while you playing you have to match up against them sometimes, like Kobe did with Jordan and Larry Holmes did with Ali. I’m sure y’all know the outcome of those match-ups. So believe me, I’m not looking for beef with nobody but I’m ready for whatever comes my way. Don’t be mad at me, that’s just how I was raised. Life in the Nickerson Gardens is rough and that makes this rap shit easy.

[J.E.]

He got a co-sign from Game though... that's how people started paying attention to him... just saying.

jay rock is confused in what he says, he seems like scared of startin a beef wit cube.. but he seems str8 for me tho, i like his positive thinkin instead of crooked i..

ppl keep sayin bout common destroyin cube like cube is nothin, but did y'all (who says that common thing) forgot bout 'no vaseline', 'all the critics in new york', 'king of the hill' and some more? cube got skills, he would kill crooked for sure, wit some othas

[MrJas]

Jay Rock sounds shook and is being very careful with what he says. I think he's slowly learning that he doesn't want it with Cube.

[YoungCrookedI]

lol at peoples who think cube has skills...comin man, common said;

Verse One:

A bitch nigga wit an attitude named Cube
Step to Com wit a feud
Now what the fuck I look like dissing a whole coast
You ain't made shit dope since AmeriKKKa's Most
Wanted to cease from the Midwest to the East
On the dick of the East for your 1st release
Your lease is up at the crib, house niggaz get evicted
And videos wit white boys talking you get Wicked
Natural Born Killa, nigga you natural born God
Look, read listen, got the nerve to say you rob
Hyprocrite, I'm filling out your Death Certificate
Slanging bean pies and St Ide's in the same sentence
Shoulda repented, on the 16th of October
Get some beats besides George Clinton to rock over
Rap career is over, better off acting
What trouble I see, you're managing WC and Wack 10
You backed in to a four corner hustla
Lying on your dick, said you was fuckin her
Use Higher Learning, don't take my words out of text
Went from gangsta to Islam to the dick of Das EFX
It'll take the Nation of Millions to Hold Me Back
From giving you mouth shots or hit wit the pipe Ralph got
When sucker ain't around, it's your Friday, it was good
I wasn't salty, she was wit the Boyz N the Hood

Chorus:

I see the bitch in you when you don't speak your mind
The bitch in you, looking me in my eyes lyin
I see the bitch in you, simply hard, you find
The bitch in you but yo it's coming out

Verse Two:

Up on this rap shit, Cube, I'm calling out
I break in and smack niggaz that's in the Slaughterhouse
This ain't no East coast, West coast, none of the above
I'm from Chi, I went to Cali, niggaz gave me love
There's a thin line between the fake and the real
Grafted ass nigga, I see through your Glass Shield
Had skills once upon a time on this project, yo
I'm a have ta wreck a Ho'shea
I heard a ho say you her favorite rapper
(So what) so I had to slap her, ugn
And violate you, a Muslim drinking brew
Your nigga ain't no Mack 10, he's a 22
I seen you, you ain't say shit to ATL
Cube, I like that diamond charm, I might cuff it, then sell
It out, like you sold Kam and Threat
A year ago, you wasn't talking shit about the West
Guess you knew you're shit was done plus the one got you cable
Hoo Bangin, you ain't banging shit but the table
And the Circle Madd, ain't got no choice but to fight
Ain't none of y'all muthafukas got a chance on the mic
Anytime you come out, yo, I'm a talk about you
Until you let that bitch in you, walk up out you
Any last words before I hit the switch
From the immortal words of one, a bitch is a bitch


damn still aktual...

You doт't believe that you speak. Think better that Cube has made for hip-hop, when he was youngster, and what did your crooked I(how old him?25-27).Cube was everywere,when he was 25.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

yeah jay rock sounds shook and he got a big ego....if game aint a major artist then....lol....as many have and will say game put him on....so maybe thats why they aint talkin when game put him on years before...lol

[Get It Off Ya Chest]

Jay Rock sounds shook and is being very careful with what he says. I think he's slowly learning that he doesn't want it with Cube.

man i understand your statement - cube dont want to help whack ass new west rappers which u are a fan of, and since that u are mad at cube now.. but look - crooked has been in the game for long time, and what has he done? even if cube was couple of years longer, crooked hasnt done shit actually, no album, no hype, no nothing for that long time, and look at cube he got couple of classic albums, hes famous and respected.. without any help (only NWA, but whats the diffrence)

oh and why did u copied those lyrics? dont really get ya..
