Ice Cube's long tenure with Priority Records ended when his Greatest Hits hit stores Tuesday, but he hopes that another venerable relationship still has life. Cube says that he still plans to reunite with Dr. Dre, MC Ren, DJ Yella and Snoop Dogg for an N.W.A reunion album, but that if they're going to do it, it has to be done right. "It's easier said than done," Cube said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "There are a lot of expectations with that record, and if we don't have time to meet those expectations, it's better not to do it than to go in and half-ass it." Cube first talked publicly of a reunion in October 1999, and the group made it official a month later when they announced that they recorded a track for the "Next Friday" soundtrack and had plans to release an album titled Not These N----- Again by Christmas 2000. Since then, there's been a steady timeline of events and delays: The group performed live together for the first time in over a decade in March 2000; a second single was released on Cube's War & Peace Vol. 2 in April 2000; all members of the new N.W.A were included in the lineup of Dre's "Up In Smoke" tour that summer; DJ Yella announced that he had joined the effort in July 2000; Dre announced that the reunion was on hold in December 2000; and Rakim joined the Aftermath lineup in January, adding to speculation that the N.W.A project was indefinitely on hold and was dangerously close to going the route of Dr. Dre and Ice Cube's Helter Skelter. Maybe at the very least they can all get together and record another track for the "Friday After Next" soundtrack, since that flick is currently in production and Cube cited it as at least part of the reason for his lack of participation in the N.W.A project. "Friday After Next" is slated for a Thanksgiving 2002 release, which means they've got almost a year to get a song together. As for his future as a solo artist, Cube is thinking big. "It's time for me to go with a bigger label and do the kinds of things my career deserves," Cube said in an interview with Billboard. "When you've been with an indie and see the money that goes into an Interscope or a Def Jam, you realize there's no way to compete in terms of spending those kinds of dollars."

disscuses not diss , lol , that mean he talk about nwa ;D

Prediction, Cube and M.C. Ren join Aftermath. I think that's why he mentioned Interscope, because they do own 50% of Aftermath.

It was rumored Ren was gonna do his next album on Aftermath, but Dre is strong on signing artists that he's never worked with.

I think that he will find his right space in a label like Universal or Sony.
I know he will wait after someone everywhere he gone,but in labels like Universal or Elektra there are big name of the music industry,and he can understand this.
