I keep reading snippets about it but i cant find the full story.
Can anybody break this shit down for me?

bullshit

Glasses Malone: I've always stated that I've never had personal problems with Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. Snoop Dogg is one of my favorite rappers and Ice Cube influenced my style. You can hear Ice Cube in my style. I don't think it was ever an issue of me not liking or disrespecting them but I am a competitive dude and I come up under their reign of competitive nature. The veterans are very competitive with each other. Naturally I come in to this business as a competitor, especially if that artist is not responsible for my career. I want to be as dope as Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube, damn it. I didn't get in to this business to be below anybody. That competitive nature on the microphone tends to make me an outcast.
Ice Cube, I don't know if I will ever get that collaboration because him and Mack 10 aren't seeing eye to eye anymore – and I'm Hoo-Bangin' to the motherf****in' fullest. As long as those two aren't getting along, I can't see myself ever working with Cube. Plus, Kam is my mentor – so who knows how all of that is going to work out. There is no disrespect though. A video surfaced online saying that I said Ice Cube was scared when I first met him – and he was! He was in a Watts V.I.P. Records Store and he was not comfortable. It was weird to me because he's f***in' Ice Cube the Predator! He's supposed to be the Predator. You would think he would be comfortable in any environment. In the West Coast Connection group he was the “Killa” out of the Gangsta and the Dope Dealer. It was awkward to me and that's when I first learned that making music is just music. I admit that being a kid and having all of his albums that I believed he was what he said in his music. Saying that though is not calling him out or disrespecting his name. I was speaking as a fan meeting his favorite artist – anybody would be shocked. That's like someone meeting Too $hort and him being respectful to women (laughs). You expect Too $hort to call a woman a b***h because he's Too $hort. People can get sensitive in this business but Ice Cube has to know that I don't mean no disrespect. I'm your favorite f***in' fan goddammit!

So basically, hes saying Cube is a studio gangsta?
-
haha some have said before....but that dont seem right
cube scared of g malone....altho cube been checked before right?
but damn choosin mack 10 over cube...not a good choice
-
True shit. Mack 10 is irrelevant, and heres another interview i found:
http://www.djbooth.net/index/interviews/entry/glasses-malone-interview-0129081/
DJ Booth: Okay. Ice Cube , who I’m sure you favored growing up, just released his single, “Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It.” At the end of that song, he says, “For all you who talk about gangsta rap, don’t get on TV talkin’ about it, ‘cause nine times out of ten, you don’t know what the *expletive* you’re talking about.” When Cube makes that remark, who is he talking about?
G. Malone: I hope he’s talking about people like himself, who are still makin’ records that’s gangsta, about what he would do to somebody or something, and how he’s in a position now where his whole life is changed. I hope he’s referring to himself and other people who do not live the gangsta lifestyle. I think that’s the biggest sham ever. That’s one thing I respect about rappers like Scarface , peeps who may be gangstas, but now they at a certain point in their life to where they actually release music that is wisdom-filled. I don’t think a lot of the dudes that were gangsta rappers from here, which actually aren’t living that lifestyle anymore, are releasing wisdom with their music. And I think that the wisdom Cube does portray in that song, “Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It,” I think he’s talkin’ about a lot of rappers, of his caliber, rappers who aren’t gangstas at all, things of that magnitude.

but he chose his wife over jdee????
in that whole deal

I might have to ask Cube about the G. Malone situation without trying to stir up any bullshit. We'll see.
-
It was from the Joe Buddens Intervention video......where a bunch of rappers that were on tour (Malone included) gave Budden an intervention on being an asshole. The Cube story made it on the video for some reason. It wasn't about Cube being afraid of Malone either... From Malone's story, Cube was out in Watts at the VIP Records store there for a signing and was very uncomfortable being there. According to the story, it was Malone's first meeting with Cube and from the sounds of it, it was before his rap days.
The video was up on WorldstarHipHop...

-
Niggas wit no release date dissen the don mega?? ;D......and they stay broke......while cube stay papered up.....
-
^^ I didn't take it as a diss. It was more as a fan meeting his favorite artist and being disappointed... thats not uncommon sometimes when fans meet artists and they aren't what they had imagined them to be. Glasses has stated that he still loves the dudes music.
-
word is he chose his wife....im not sayin thats bad or good
but he chose his wife over jdee????
in that whole deal
whats the story behind that?
-
i dont have the full 100 on it...but what ive heard
i cant remember everythin but bits of what i can are
some say jdeee pulled the pistol that night
some say he didnt
somethin happened to where cube had to choose between jdee n his wife
which if it were true....wouldnt be suprised since other altercations have occured where cube took his females side
word is he chose his wife....im not sayin thats bad or good
but he chose his wife over jdee????
in that whole deal
whats the story behind that?
-
Yeah G.Malone dissing cube,basically sayin u a studio g,but i think overall cube is a G,didnt have to bang to do it,let the money talk!we all know we would rather have the $ over the lil hood fame etc...i think Malone dissin cube also cuz Malone works with Kam,and u remember kam and cube didnt get along,hence Solo chin checkin cube,they still made cube took the "W" for WSCG,but u know who got the last laugh...the predator.
-
thats crazy tho that he said he prolly wont work with cube cuz of mack/cube's deal
at the end of the day....cube could get you a better album situation than mack.....
if raw footage was bad.......mack 10's album wasnt even worth usin a trash bag for

So basically, hes saying Cube is a studio gangsta?
Is Dr Dre a studio gangster.

You can hear Ice Cube in my style. I don't think it was ever an issue of me not liking or disrespecting them but I am a competitive dude and I come up under their reign of competitive nature.

I want to be as dope as Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube, damn it. I didn't get in to this business to be below anybody. That competitive nature on the microphone tends to make me an outcast.
Ice Cube, I don't know if I will ever get that collaboration because him and Mack 10 aren't seeing eye to eye anymore – and I'm Hoo-Bangin' to the motherf****in' fullest. As long as those two aren't getting along, I can't see myself ever working with Cube. Plus, Kam is my mentor – so who knows how all of that is going to work out. There is no disrespect though. A video surfaced online saying that I said Ice Cube was scared when I first met him – and he was! He was in a Watts V.I.P. Records Store and he was not comfortable. It was weird to me because he's f***in' Ice Cube the Predator! He's supposed to be the Predator. You would think he would be comfortable in any environment. In the West Coast Connection group he was the “Killa” out of the Gangsta and the Dope Dealer. It was awkward to me and that's when I first learned that making music is just music. I admit that being a kid and having all of his albums that I believed he was what he said in his music. Saying that though is not calling him out or disrespecting his name. I was speaking as a fan meeting his favorite artist – anybody would be shocked. That's like someone meeting Too $hort and him being respectful to women (laughs). You expect Too $hort to call a woman a b***h because he's Too $hort. People can get sensitive in this business but Ice Cube has to know that I don't mean no disrespect. I'm your favorite f***in' fan goddammit!

Well everybody's scared of something. He is a family man now, lifestyles change whether you like it or not. We're in an era which is very different from the NWA days. Nowadays fools don't care who they do crime against. Respect no longer means anything. Especially in the L.A. area. He knows what happened to 2pac & biggie can happen to him. There are people who are hating on Cube because he does kid friendly movies now. Come on, man. Cube is 39 or 40 now. There are hardly gangstas his age, most of them either dead or in jail. Or retired & trying to have a family life. Gangsta movies don't sell big anymore on the big screen.

So basically, hes saying Cube is a studio gangsta?
Is Dr Dre a studio gangster.
Like most rappers Cube and Dre were always studio gangsters, but who cares? It's all about music, and very very few play in the same league as Cube or Dre.

^^^^yeah, like Eazy-E said: we didn't join no gang:

Dumb logic. The song actually is a social commentary on how media and people blame gangsta rap, urban images on the problems of the world. Scared or uncomfortable is relevant. Let's put it context, $30mil $- $40mil in the bank, studio mogul, rapper, father, husband, a true brand. Upstart, knucklehead, potential problem standing next to you. Do you risk your freedom to prove a point. "I'm tough, I'm hard!" You can't even confirm it happened like that. So it was awkward for G Malone, but cube is uncomfortable. Maybe. But awkward and uncomfortable can be synonyms. So they felt the same. WC hasn't sold many records compared to cube but he keeps dropping them and Mack 10 can't guarantee your release. I like G Malone, but he needs to be a little more thoughtful with his words because that is a simple reason to end up stifled in the rap game.

The thing that bothers me most about this story is people are seeming to overlook the fact that Ice Cube is over 40 and rich as fuck. What reason does he have to walk around trying to be a tough guy? I doubt if G.Malone would talk this shit if this was '91 Cube.

its well known that cube not only didnt grow up in compton, but his parents also bused him out of their school district so he could go to a predominately white school. pretty much the opposite of his lyrics. so basically the 91 cube was fakin it also

Ok so he's really from South Central...is that really THAT much better than Compton?
And he went to a predominately white school, fine. So do we hate him cuz his parents wanted him to have the best education available? Sounds like a smart damn decision to me, seeing as to how it paid off big time and I'm sure he's taking care of his parents with all that movie money.

yeah thats cool and everything, but its pretty hypocritical to turn around and make shit like straight outta compton and death certificate after that. not to mention wsc

Glasses and Bishop are just mad that nobody will give them props they want to be endorsed so bad and the vets ain't having it.

How is that hypocritical? that was Ice Cube not O'Shea Jackson.. People forget this is music. Its not real life. He never said, I did this in real life. He's a rapper. Who cares if he's real or not. Every single gangsta rapper says he'll kill somebody in theyre raps, but nobody ever has.
He was the best at painting visual pictures with his rhymes, and it showed the harsh life of the ghetto. If he went to a mostly white school, that makes his lyrics even more impressive to me. If u guys think he's talking about stuff he has no idea about, even though he grew up in South Central during the hieght of gang culture, then thats your opinion... But from the late 80's to the early 90's he was the best gangsta rapper out. Note I said Gangsta Rapper not Gangsta!
I mean if you guys want to see a really good gangster movie, do you want real gangters acting in it? Or do you want really good actors who can portray the role good? Imagine the movie Scarface, with some real gangster.. That shit would suck ass! lol
If u guys care about who's the hardest man in real life.. Stop listening to rap, and go take a trip to the hood and talk to your local gangbanger! This is fucking music, its an art!
Ice Cube is over 40 years old now, he's making really good money as an actor. He has no business acting hard every where he goes anymore. He's more of a consious/political rapper now, but his music is still street. If your under 20 years old, all you probably know him for is his comedy movies.

Glasses and Bishop are just mad that nobody will give them props they want to be endorsed so bad and the vets ain't having it.
Glasses is rollin with Mack and Bishop had Dre behind him. They've both been endorsed by vets. What more do they want? Do they want Snoop Dogg to hold their hands and walk them out onto the red carpet? Shit, just make good music and stop worrying about other niggas.

Preach

I mean if you guys want to see a really good gangster movie, do you want real gangters acting in it?
absolutley - if the gangsters recieves training in acting - the gagnster outweighs any actor, for a role as a criminal in any movie. there' a reason why former criminals like Danny Trejo's been in almost 200 movies.
-
real talk
so if someone portarys somethin they arent...thats wrong right?
if someone makes muzik that they dont believe in or not what they feel as to be what they like, thats wrong right?

i think every1 prefers the real deal over some imposter. not sayin dat rappers who never banged, can't do good gangsta-music. not sayin dat actors, dat never did criminal shit, can't portray criminlas in movies.
just sayin, the real deal is always the best deal..
dat's why, so many of us like Scarface, Beanie Sigel, 2pac etc.. for example
-
yeah real talk
but why people accept cube when he started gangsta and then went and became a family man? lol
he was once a gansta right, or at least potrayed to be one?
-
Seriously doubt cube would b scared of gmalone. I thought the og story wasthere was a bunch of goons outside the store n cube was a lil nervous
-
that aint dre...thats nick cannon
So basically, hes saying Cube is a studio gangsta?
Is Dr Dre a studio gangster.
this dre?

Ice Cube is over 40 years old now, he's making really good money as an actor. He has no business acting hard every where he goes anymore. He's more of a consious/political rapper now, but his music is still street. If your under 20 years old, all you probably know him for is his comedy movies.
yeah but most of the kids who were listening to straight outta compton and all that didnt realize this, to them he was as real as it gets so for someone to perpetrate that kind of shit is weak to me. still a great rapper, im not saying i dont like his shit but hes definitely a studio gangsta
-
Who cares about who is gangsta or not...just make some fucking music i can bump!!!

How is that hypocritical? that was Ice Cube not O'Shea Jackson.. People forget this is music. Its not real life. He never said, I did this in real life. He's a rapper. Who cares if he's real or not. Every single gangsta rapper says he'll kill somebody in theyre raps, but nobody ever has.
He was the best at painting visual pictures with his rhymes, and it showed the harsh life of the ghetto. If he went to a mostly white school, that makes his lyrics even more impressive to me. If u guys think he's talking about stuff he has no idea about, even though he grew up in South Central during the hieght of gang culture, then thats your opinion... But from the late 80's to the early 90's he was the best gangsta rapper out. Note I said Gangsta Rapper not Gangsta!

There is no age limit in making music..

I think some of u guys forget, this whole thing is entertainment. U guys are crazy if u think real gangstas are gonna be better in movies than good actors. U brought up a good point with Danny Trejo, yeah he's a decent actor and been in many movies.. But he always plays the same role, a tough guy. Thats fine, he's good at what he does, maybe cuz he lived it. But he gets small roles in mostly not so good movies. U can't have a good movie with him as the main actor. The reason he's been in over 200 movies is becasue he does like 7-10 movies a year, because he has such small roles.
And since u brought him up, do u think he's still running the streets acting hard now? He's trying to be an actor now.. Doing kiddy movies like all those Spy kids movies, bubble boy and stuff like that. Trust me, I'm not knocking the man at all, I think its good he's changed his life and is trying hard to be an actor.
Which is why he's a good comparison to ice cube. Ice Cube is a grown man now, not the same man that wrote NWA thru Predator. Hes more an actor now than a rapper. So I dunno why people, especially Glasses Malone would expect him to be the same hard ass muthafucka that he was 20 years ago. I grew up listening to all Amerikkka's most wanted and Death Certificate. maybe, I thought he was one of the hardest people out when I was a kid, but as I grew older, U start to realize these are all stories. ITS ENTERTAINMENT! If I wanna listen to music, I'd much rather listen to someone who's talented on the mic, showing his social commentary on various topics involved in the hood, than some Real Gangsta who's really killed 3 people and can't put 5 words together without cussing and sounding like he's never taken an english class!
I mean for real, listen to the Death Certificate.. The Life Side, The Deah Side.. Thats a concept. Storytelling at its finest like Alive on Arrival, talking about how bad the hospital system is for poor people in the hood. I wanna Kill Sam, My Summer Vacation,Black Korea, Us, Giving up the nappy duggout.. These are perfectly written stories w/ messages behind them. Arguably one of the best disses of all time, NO VASELINE. Then if u want just straight jams to ride to u got Steady Mobbin or True to the game.
But would you rather listen to some idiot who raps like, "I fuck bitches, I hit switches, I'm a killa, and a drug dealer. I do this for real"! I don't give a fuck if u do this for real or not, Shit is garbage! Because he does it for real, does that make it more pleasing to my ears?
Studio Gangsta is the most played out term. It describes every single rapper. Yeah, some are more street than others, but NOBODY does or will do all the stuff they say on the mic. NOBODY! Not Scarface, not G. Malone, not some underground gangster rapper, not nobody! I mean, who in real life commits all these violent crimes and goes and then describes in vivid details all about it to anyone who would listen?? lol

One reason that hip hop does not get proper respect in the mainstream media , even after about 30 years of existence is cause younger dudes like Malone don't pay proper respect to the vets like Cube. A couple of dudes have said it just right...IT'S ENTERTAINMENT. Some rappers are more street than others but none are real gangsters....Let's take T.I. for example..Lil dude is a dope gangsta rapper and is to the young South what Cube is to the older Westt I remember a few rhymes where dude is talkin about what would happen if anyone ever ran up on him in and his crew.....Guess what?? It happened...Read the story about the situation/show in Ohio, the confrontation in the VIP area after the show and how dudes chased T.I. and his crew and eventually shot up and killed his best friend. These dudes were not rappers, they was real street gangsters livin the life and at the end of the gunfire, T.I. and his crew were practically "Beggin for Mercy"....That is some real shit there. Even after he served time and is now on house arrest, dudes is still fuckin with T.I. threating his life and shit. Why? Cause you have RAP but then there is real STREET GANGSTAS. Lil T.I. will probably be lookin over his shoulder for the rest of his life cause he forgot that he is not in the streets like that anymore and probably never was..T.I. , Cube, Dre and even Snoop are only gangstas in Music/Entertainment. Don't get it twisted cause Cube and Dre know the deal to but T.I. found out the hard way.
-
exactly t.i. aint no gangsta even tho he rappin that gangsta life....they say he aint even from the part of atl hes claimin hes from...lol sides the point tho
when you roll with the fbi, security, etc.....you aint go do shit
jus like everyone has said t.i, and others rap about the life and moves real gangstas make and move
-
So basically, hes saying Cube is a studio gangsta?
Is Dr Dre a studio gangster.
Like most rappers Cube and Dre were always studio gangsters, but who cares? It's all about music, and very very few play in the same league as Cube or Dre.
Snoop,Daz,Kurupt,Mac 10,Glass,Bishop,2 Pac,Big... damn list go's on and on...Thats just a image for sales...If music is good im lisiting,i dont giva fuck who's "reel" and who's "not"...

The thing that bothers me most about this story is people are seeming to overlook the fact that Ice Cube is over 40 and rich as fuck. What reason does he have to walk around trying to be a tough guy? I doubt if G.Malone would talk this shit if this was '91 Cube.
its well known that cube not only didnt grow up in compton, but his parents also bused him out of their school district so he could go to a predominately white school. pretty much the opposite of his lyrics. so basically the 91 cube was fakin it also
Bigest G in the world was a ballerina ;D ;D
