Ice Cube Gives More Details On "I Am The West"

[Elano]

Emerging on the scene wearing black pants, a black hat and white sneakers, Ice Cube let us know that he'd be stomping for years to come. The years of long hair now behind him, he's been able to traverse the field with a slew of other profitable endeavors from movies to endorsements. However, it's clear that Cube has never left the music world and he continues to work on new material. This July will see yet another Ice Cube release, one that he recently promoted while headlining Murs' Paid Dues Festival. Recently, he spoke with BallerStatus about the new album and two songs that may have fans excited for its release.

"Pretty soon, the machines are going to take over. That's just real. It's happening in all of our lives," he says of "Man Vs. Machine," a new cut off the album. He explained that the album deals with human dependence on technology. But, the topical rhymes don't end there.

"Robbin' Hoods" is another track he shared, which has a theme about the rich stealing from the poor. In the interview, he explained that making this song sets him apart from various other emcees who have other topical choices.

"Big corporations is now stealing from the poor and giving to the rich...It's everything people are going through. It's real shit that ain't got nothing to do with money, cars and all the shit most rappers talk about," he noted.

Another song off the album, "Drink the Kool-Aid," got some publicity when it seemed Cube was taking shots at former group member Dr. Dre. Recently, Cube addressed the lines in the song and added that he would like to assist with Detox, noting "I'd never diss the man that got me started," perhaps omitting mentions of their previous feuds.

previous feud? Haven't Cube and Dre always been cool? He was the only member of N.W.A Cube never really dissed on No Vaseline. All he said was, yo dre stick to producing.

[Dre-Day]

the one that got dissed the least was DJ Yella, Dre definitely had more shots fired at him, check the lyrics again.

but yeah Dre & Ice Cube have been cool again since the Let me ride video

[Fonkarround]

there aint no feud, at least no official, dre can be still mad at cube inside, but they talked bout it as cube wrote on his blog... but its weird verse from cube.. it was a clear shot at dre

[RedMagic213]

looking forward to this album....Fuck a New West...Daddy's Home mutha fuckers

what? WHAT? are you sure? hmmmm guess the line dre said "we started off with too much cargo,glad we got rid of benedict arnold", and cube saying "calling me arnold but you been a dicc,easy e saw yo ass and went in it quicc"  so i guess cube basically saying dre was a faggot wasn't dissing him, my bad for not knowing that tho yell

Obviously Dre dissed him. But I always thought the first verse on No Vaseline was aimed at N.W.A. in general cause he mentions multiple names.

Also that yell shit is the lamest shit ever...-1 for that homie.

since when does mentioning another rapper qualify as a diss? Doesn't game do it in every song?

Cube - MVP


....by the way, the "new west" beef with Cube is ridiculous. Be a man, and make your own career for fuck sake.

[Dre-Day]

so basically, you don't want up and coming artists from the west to have a career?
