Title: Ice Cube Gives More Details On "I Am The West"
Post by: Elano on April 14, 2010, 10:35:26 PM
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.

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?

lmao , it's not that we don't want them to have a career they just suck (minus a couple of artists) , I mean come on Bishop lamont , Jay rock , G.malone will NEVER drop an album NEVER bishop been braggin about the reformation since 07? or 08? it's been 2 years and a half ... malone same  he had shit loads of videos with t-pain and wayne and all of them southern fools and still couldn't garner enough attention for his actual single to be a hit ... jay rock? jay rock is dope I REALLY want this guy to make it but if he keeps acting like a bitch because cube won't do a track with him that just ain't gonna cut it he is probably butt hurt because he had a HIT single with lil'wayne and still couldn't put an album out .... what seperates bishop lamont and jay rock from all of these "new west" dudes is they actually put out dope music ... glasses malone just sucks lol ... I didn't mention nipsey hussle because he can actually put out a record.

I heard it. "I ain't [insert rapper]. I ain't [insert rapper]."

that's not a diss. Lol...do we really live in a time where people are so used to soft lyrics that this is supposed to be a diss? "Go listen to No Vaseline before you flex again."

"I ain't the doctor" ---- that's the truth, that's not a diss.

Game mentions rappers specifically to dickride them. Cube mentions rappers to differentiate himself from them. Y'all have gone soft if you take that as a diss.

"I ain't mike jones keep my name out your mouth" ---- that wasn't a diss to mike jones just in case you thought that

dre had to ask cube cause all the retarded media outlets are looking for some kind of a story and have to make shit up. Just like the supposed "dissing" of the new west. Dre probably didn't even hear the lyrics he just heard from all these bloggers with nothing better to do

yes dre reads all the blogs... he would ask cube if hes dissin him just couse of some opinions without even checkin the lyrics.... yeah .. im pretty sure somebody told dre bout that track and dre checked the lyrics and asked cube whats goin on, i mean come on he wouldnt ask bout that if that was just a mention... u gotta find a diffrence between a typical beef tracks and just an 'allusion' to somebody with a lil diss

did I say dre reads blogs? With all these people on the internet talking about it, its clearly going to get back to him. And why the fuck would Dre hear the track when it hasn't been released yet? He heard it the way the rest of us did, word of mouth through retards who try to find disses in everything and create beef. Hell, most of actual hip hop beef is started from gossippers running their mouths and creating shit out of nothing.

allusion does not and has never equaled a diss so get it straight. Ice Cube doesn't do subliminals.

most likely not towards Dre, but he does drop subminals, listen to his music more carefully
