Dope Interview...i had a feeling he hasnt been signed to aftermath yet
WC2K: Do you think it matters who writes the lyrics if its dope? Ice Cube: I do, because Im from the Oldschool. I think you should write your shit. If I write songs for you to rap, thats what singers do, you know? (laughs). Thats why you like Rap, cause its creative with the lyrics. Thats just part of it for me. Havin a good voice aint gonna get you far, and it goes so far.
WC2K: "Bow Down" made alot of noise for obvious reasons. How do you think people are gonna react to the new album?Ice Cube: I'm pretty sure that Ice Cube fans gonna love it, Dub C and Mack 10 fans gonna love it. You know, but I dont know about everybody else. Cause I mean, at a certain point you gettin in this music cause you love it and do records that you love, and they sell. Then you gettin to a point where there are expectations from your record company, they wanna make sure that they got records that can sell. So the artists is making sure that they do a record that can sell. But then, when you stop caring about that part, and when you get back to just doing music, worrying about your fans only, then to me you do better music. Thats the point of my career. Im makin enough money with movies. When the records dont sell thats the record companys problem. But my problem is if people dont like it, the ones that do buy it. So thats my problem, they gotta like it. But everybody that dont buy it, I cant worry what they think about it, I cant really depend on them.
