What up Fam,
This ya homie Ice Cube and this is my first blog on my website. We had to change website companies a few months back, and now I think we've worked out most of the kinks. You'll be able to see and hear about what's going on with me, my career and life "straight from the horse's mouth." I don't and will never have anyone blogging for me on this page.
I want to start off by saying, "Thank You!" for all your support over the years. I'm still here fighting the good fight. I don't plan on stopping no time soon. I always trip off artist who say they're going to retire. Retire? And do what? Go fishing? Fuck that. Right now I'm working on my next record, or CD if you 90's or download if you're 2010. I haven't decided on a title yet, but you'll be the first to know if you keep checkin' in on me. "Laugh Now, Cry Later" was my return record. "Raw Footage" was my street knowledge record and this new one is just a banger. I did a song the other day called "Drink the Kool-Aid"...sick lyrics if I do say so myself. Leaking songs all year, droppin' this summer.
Also working on a ESPN 30 for 30 documentary called "Straight Outta L.A." It's about how the Raiders influenced West Coast hip-hop and how West Coast hip-hop influenced the Raiders. The Raiders called L.A. home from 1982 to 1994 and the world would never be the same. Air date is sometimes in May.
Alot of ya'll wanna know why "The Janky Promoters" went straight to video. Dimension Films didn't have the money to promote the movie right and they didn't give me the chance to promote it myself. They just threw it out there "unfinished" for a quick advancement from Blockbuster Video. Hollywood is as janky as Russell Redds and Jellyroll sometimes. Me and Mike Epps took our own money and finished the movie...and you can see and buy our version, with the soundtrack and a t-shirt.
Anything you need to ask me regarding me, my career or this crazy world we living in. This is the place to do it. Hit me up anytime. Working on my next blog as we speak.
Stay up,
Ice Cube

The Voice of Cube
Sun, Jan 31, 2010 at 8:43 AM By: Ice Cube
What up fam, this is the voice of Cube...
I talked to my team yesterday about the release of my new record. We're trying to drop it around June or July. Don't worry, I'm leaking at lease 5 songs before the record comes out. So you'll be able to hear the progress right here on icecube.com. I'm looking for real feed back from true fans...not internet haters. I'm going in the studio next week to mix a few songs. I'll take a camera wit me and post the session up sometime next week. Keep checking back wit me when you get a chance. This site is a real oppurtunity to connect the World Wide Westside in a major way.
I wanna say what's up to some of my family around the world...Russia, Iraq, Canada, Dublin, England and Kenya. Keep it gangsta. As far as touring, I'm doing Japan in May but nothing major until after the new record drops. I am going worldwide when I do go on the road. If I'm near your city, you gotta see an Ice Cube show. Hardcord hip-hop at it's finest. No band. 2 turntables and a microphone. Droppin' 20 years of hits.
Will you see me at the Grammy's? Fuck no, I'll be kick back watching Lakers vs. Celtics tomorrow. Go Lakers!
New movie? Lottery ticket Drop date? Fall 2010
WC new record? still working on it...he will sell no rhymes before it's time.
What keeps me grounded? Don't sweat the small stuff. Don't worry about what you can't control...and mind your own business, you live longer.
Keep it 100,
Ice Cube

Oscars & Grammys
Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 10:21 PM By: Ice Cube
What's up Fam, this is the voice of Cube...
I got some good news today. Al Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders agreed to do an interview for my "Straight Outta L.A." documentary. The one I'm doing for ESPN 30 for 30 series. We've been asking Al for about 6 months and he finally said, "yeah." I'm suppose to fly to Oakland after the Super Bowl and sit down with him. Everybody hates on Al Davis cause he's a hands on owner. But I like that. "My way or the fuckin' highway" you gotta respect it.
I just signed on to do the Paid Dues Festival in San Bernardino on April 3rd. It's a Saturday. It cool cause this is the first time I'm on the same bill with my cousin Del the Funky Homosapien. I remember producing his first record with D.J. Pooh called "I Wish My Brother George Was Here." I got a lot of respect for Del too. He always hated commercialized hip hop. From day one.
Did ya'll watch the Grammys? Me neither. I remember people use to be excited about the Grammys. Now you know who's gonna win before their nominated. Beyonce'? 6 Grammys? Off this record? Seriously...
The Oscars never fail to celebrate Black people's sadness, misery and ugliness. Just look at the kind of roles that get nominated... Crooked cops, Green Mile type niggas and playing Ike Turner. Thanks Hollywood for always recognizing our downfalls. Not watching that shit either.
I did check out Capitalism: A Love Story by Micheal Moore. Good information. It shows who's really pulling the strings. Check out: Sicko by Micheal Moore. Dope.
I've been trying to get MC Ren back on the mic since Up N Smoke Tour. He just dropped a record so I hope he'll spit on my shit. Stay tune for details.
The Nas, Scarface project was being spearheaded by my homie Tony Draper. These project are hard to put together because of the different record companies. We all got too busy with our own projects and personal lives to make a dope record right now.
When I do tour. I will make it to Tilburg & Vienna
Going to the studio tomorrow. Trying to get Mike Epps to come by. If he does I'll film it and post it.
Keep it gangsta,
Ice Cube

nice to hear that he's trying to get back with MC Ren 8)
MC Ren needs high quality producers

Good to hear that MC Ren might be on Cube's new album. I can't say that i'd like to hear an collabo album with Ice Cube and DJ Crazy Toones. His beats usually always have been garbage. "Let It Reign" is a classic though, "West Up" was aiight too but other than that i can't name any other dope beats from him.

How about resurrection the Microphone Mafia (Cube,Ren & Bobcat)?
-
was that even a group?

was that even a group?
There was some small talk... all they did was two tracks. (the other one is in Cube's vault :-[)

Ice Cube...in my opinion - greatest rapper of all time. Do I mean from the West Coast? Nope, I mean PERIOD.

There is more to Ice Cube then just gangsta rap. And barring a couple tracks on Raw Footage there was nothing commerical about that album. LNCL for the most part either.

but overall he could and should have been more lyrical and less commercial

Cube wasn't always about Lyrics, he was more about painting a picture, stories. Got to remember he was a West rapper, and ours were more blunt and not as complexed, but the message and meaning was way clearer. Besides he was already in 2 groups (Lynch mob, and Westside connection).
If there was a group were its nothing but political rap, Cube have to be in it just on the grounds of his first 3 albums.

4th blog below. Y'all should submit some questions to the man. He answered mine regarding Jerry Heller's book, "Ruthless." Anyway, have a look:
Superbowl Time
Sun, Feb 7, 2010 at 12:17 AM By: Ice Cube
What Up Fam, this is the voice of Cube.
Who you got in the Super Bowl? I got the Saints by 3. New Orleans needs the win more then Indiana (birthplace of the Klan). If it wasn't for the Saints and Hornets New Orleans would be left for dead. I'mma check out the Bowl at the house with the family and friends this year. Not too many people over. I've been to 5 SuperBowls. Seen one, you've seen them all. Love the game but hated the hassle. When I go somewhere as a fan, I always end up part of the show. It's cool. I knew the job was dangerous when I took it. Go Saints!
Next week, I got a few movie meetings and I'm working on my new photoshoot. My last two records where studio photoshoots. I want to go out and hit the city this time. Feel L.A. in the background. The industry continues to overlook the West Coast and it's my personal mission to keep us on the map. Most of the hip hop promotional vehicles are located in New York and Atlanta. So we always get the short end of the stick, but what else is new. No complaints.
Shot out to my folks in the Middle East, Edmonton, Detroit and Modesto,CA. I got a question the other day asking if I'd read Jerry Heller's book "Ruthless." In the book, Jerry Heller was hating on me. The answer is "No." Why? Because Jerry didn't know me outside of the studio at all. I met Jerry Heller in the fall of 1988 when we we're working on Eazy E's record, "Eazy Duz It". He walked into the studio and Eazy told us he was going to work with us. It was a done deal. No vote. Eazy's decision. I really didn't care. All I wanted to do was rip the mic. My first impression was..."why would this old white man with gray hair wanna manage our group". I didn't trust him and asked alot of questions. He didn't like me from day one because of that. He tried to get me to sign a contract without a lawyer several times. I knew he was a crook, so I left the group. BECAUSE OF HIM. JERRY HELLER BROKE UP N.W.A. I've talked to Eazy's wife Tameka Wright recently and she said Eazy was about to fire Jerry before he came up dead. I heard Jerry hooked him up with the doctor. Don't go to Cedar Sinai Medical Center if you wanna live.
Another question: Why did I pick Modesto, CA for the setting of Janky Promoters? I love giving shot outs to California city that people rarely hear from. In Next Friday we used Rancho Cucamonga. Its all love. Somebody gotta rep the West. Peace to everybody checking in on me everyweek. I'm reading everything.
Holla.

I got a question:
-if he could leak "overnight blackman" and the other joint he did with Ren and Bobcat.
Overnight Blackman unreleased NWA track; (Hip Hop Connection December 1989 #11)

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3213/3084815864_c627f35bf1_b.jpg)
^^^^^^^
It looks like there's two (at least) unreleased NWA tracks; (Ren also talks about a gang off leftovers from the Niggaz4Life sessions in his thaformula.com interview)
-One Cube & Ren track
-Overnight Blackman (Ren solo?)
^^^^
would nice if DubCNN could ask Ren and/or Cube about these next time DubCNN catch up with them.
Same with the War disc leftover (unreleased) that BobCat produced;
Yash:
What happened to that track you and Cube did with Bobcat it was suppose to be on his war album?
MC Ren:
He didn't use it he had told me last time I talked to him he was gonna put that shit on somethin change the beat make it more updated put the vocals and shit on it.
I'm sure it gone come out one day if it don't come out now somebody gone put that muthafucka out in ten years from now.
Read rest of the interview here;

I wanna know what happened to that Ren/Bobcat track too. Laconic, you should ask him that.
-
Man Cube is a true OG....given people the real. Janky Promoters was a dope movie...woulda done good numbers at the box office(Much better than First Sunday). Fuck Jerry Heller....How Easy let a Jew break up his crew?? Cube kept that shit Gangsta.
And most def. fuck the Oscars...I was saying the other day Black folks only win those awards when there displayed in a negative light....yeah we gotta a black president but racism still exists....so fuck'em!!!

I got a question the other day asking if I'd read Jerry Heller's book "Ruthless." In the book, Jerry Heller was hating on me.
The answer is "No."
Why?
Because Jerry didn't know me outside of the studio at all. I met Jerry Heller in the fall of 1988 when we we're working on Eazy E's record, "Eazy Duz It".
He walked into the studio and Eazy told us he was going to work with us. It was a done deal. No vote. Eazy's decision.
I really didn't care. All I wanted to do was rip the mic.
My first impression was..."why would this old white man with gray hair wanna manage our group".
I didn't trust him and asked alot of questions. He didn't like me from day one because of that. He tried to get me to sign a contract without a lawyer several times.
I knew he was a crook, so I left the group.
BECAUSE OF HIM. JERRY HELLER BROKE UP N.W.A.
I've talked to Eazy's wife Tameka Wright recently and she said Eazy was about to fire Jerry before he came up dead.
I heard Jerry hooked him up with the doctor. Don't go to Cedar Sinai Medical Center if you wanna live.
This pretty much says it all... :-[
Y'all should submit some questions to the man. He answered mine regarding Jerry Heller's book, "Ruthless." Anyway, have a look:
Dope ;)
I got a question:
-if he could leak "overnight blackman" and the other joint he did with Ren and Bobcat.
Overnight Blackman unreleased NWA track; (Hip Hop Connection December 1989 #11)

^^^^ I posted a better scan of this a couple of pages back ^^^^

^^^^^^^
It looks like there's two (at least) unreleased NWA tracks; (Ren also talks about a gang off leftovers from the Niggaz4Life sessions in his thaformula.com interview)
-One Cube & Ren track
-Overnight Blackman (Ren solo?)
^^^^
would nice if DubCNN could ask Ren and/or Cube about these next time DubCNN catch up with them.
Same with the War disc leftover (unreleased) that BobCat produced;
Yash:
What happened to that track you and Cube did with Bobcat it was suppose to be on his war album?
MC Ren:
He didn't use it he had told me last time I talked to him he was gonna put that shit on somethin change the beat make it more updated put the vocals and shit on it.
I'm sure it gone come out one day if it don't come out now somebody gone put that muthafucka out in ten years from now.

What' up Fam, this is the voice of Cube
As you know, the Super Bowl went my way. Congrats to New Orleans and the Saints. But we don't have a team in L.A. and the Raiders aren't in it, so my happiness wore off pretty quick. Went to see the Lakers beat the Spurs last week without Kobe. I also heard he wasn't playing in the All-Star game...Is it worth watching now? Maybe. Depends on what I'm doing Sunday. Taking my wife away for the weekend. This week coming up is a busy one for ya' boy. 2 movie premieres, son's basketball game and my daughter's sweet 16 party. I got DJ Crazy Toones on the wheels of steel for her. She wants a 80's theme party. Right up our alley. The Golden Age of Hip-Hop, Prince, MJ & Vanity 6. Time to school the new school.
Speaking of MJ, MC Kalmron asked me how did I feel about Michael Jackson's death. I was in NY when I saw it come across the ticker; that he was rushed to the hospital. I was concerned but thought Mike needs to just take it easy. But when I heard he died, I kinda went numb. In shock. It was like a piece of my childhood died. As the facts came out, I was pissed off at his doctor for letting him pass away right under his nose. Didn't he know he was dealing with a man that was precious to this world? Dumb fuck! Then after a few days went by, I started realizing that Dr. Conrad Murray didn't kill Michael Jackson...we did. With all the jokes and stories, the laughing and pointing. Our criticism was the reason Mike was getting high on all that shit. He wanted our love and acceptance. We loved the music he produced but threw the man away. That's wack...
I'm just now trying to embrace the internet as a way to connect directly to my fam. Any ideas you have to make this site better is welcomed by me and my staff. We want to give you first dibs on everything new with me and my career. Make you a part of it. The worldwide Westside must come together to preserve the music we love. Gangsta Rap aka Street Knowledge has been under attack since the late 80's. In 1993, our major hip-hop outlets (MTV & BET) decided not to play hip-hop with a message anymore but to broadcast "escapizm." Hip-hop with no clear message. Just drinking, smoking, fucking and partying...and now we're stuck right here.
I was also asked by ya'll about my old group, DA LENCHMOB. We see each other from time to time at different events. The music business is not what it's cracked up to be, and if you don't have true love for it...you will quickly grow sour. I think the politics and pressures of the business was too much for everybody to stay together. Far as I know, I'm the only one still in the business. We all grew up and grew apart but there's no love lost. J-Dee writes me all the time. I was also asked about Hutch and ATL. When I first left N.W.A., Hutch took it real personal. But we got nothing but respect for each other today. We laugh about it when we see each other. Mack-10? He was way out of line a few years ago (family business). I don't fuck with dude no more. After 20 years in the game, nothing surprises me. Day by day the game gets dumber. I just focus on my fans nowadays. At the end of the day, that's all an artist has. His work and the people who appreciate it.
Answering more questions. Why don't I do more gangsta movies and dramas? I'm a victim of my own success. My comedies make money and that's what Hollywood comes at me with. Those are the movies I seem to get made before my dramatic scripts. I have them. I'd rather do dramas.
My old CD's on Priority Records? Buy them. Yes, I still get paid from those old records.
ESPN "Straight Outta L.A." doc.? Air date is sometimes in May. No NWA doc. on the schedule.
NWA movie? Trying to put it together with Tameka Wright's company. Trying to get a script together.
Shots out to: Slovakia & Boston...
Keep It Gangsta,
Cube
