I had the opportunity to interview a true Hip Hop legend yesterday, Mr. Ice Cube himself. We talked about the upcoming Westside Connection album "Terrorist Threats", the "Bow Down" album, his feelings about Shorty & Da Lench Mob, the N.W.A. reunion, the situation with Dre & Aftermath and more. Time was limited therefore we couldnt ask all our questions! Feedback is welcome.

Good. I hope he doesn't sign with 'em. I want the album to actually come out. Anyway, tight interview....I'mma be at the record store the day it drops. ;D
-
Great interview. Mad props.
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.
I totally agree with Cube.

Nice interview Big Jay.

Props again Jizzle, tight interview homie 8)

We all read the articles on MTV and they said Cube was on the Aftermath ... It's crazy ... :-\
-
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.
word up Ice Cube.
good interview, hope cube is right about the new album.
-
thats awesome u got the interview with Cube!
Dope interview man!
We did an interview with WC at Raptism.Com a few weeks ago that came out nice too...
but i think both Raptism.Com and Dubcnn.Com got rolled interviewing Mack 10 - he was very ummm, difficult to talk to.
-
^ i think he was sedated or some shit.. seriously.. :/
this ice cube shits good tho lil jizzay!
-
Tight interview man, props!
-
yeaa, good interview!
i didnt think he would be so harsh against da lench mob...
"makin business with them wouldnt make no sense, and they cant Rap no more anyway. They're done"
but i guess Cube is a dude that likes to leave things behind.. he even left NWA :P
-
Dope interview man, thanks!!! I would've liked it to be longer, but I'm happy with what I got. Dopeness! Props man.

-
Thanks peeps ;)

Yeah I know it was a bit short. But hey, its Ice Cube, dudes prolly busy all the time, and time was limited anyway :(
And it was kinda funny when he said the following about the NWA reunion:
You dealin with people who used to make all that money and you talkin about finding a way with people who might not be as large as you are. That dont work well you know?
Sounds realistic, I guess the big names of the group dont wanna work with the small ones, even if they started on the same level. I can imagine that Dre is not interested in workin with some1 like Yella anymore cause he feels that he's too big
egos and money fuck up too many groups in hip hop...its a trip
-
Very good read.
Thanks. :)
-
That NWA album wasn't and isn't going to happend cause everyone couldn't get on the same page.
The way I see it:
Ice Cube is busy doing movies (I don't see a solo from him anytime before 2005).
Snoop Dogg is busy doing songs with the Neptunes & B2K, and running from Tray Deee.
MC Ren is willing to do it anytime.
Dr. Dre is busy making albums that won't come out.
and DJ Yella is probably in the same boat as Ren but I don't much of what he's doing.
But didn't they record some material while on the Up In Smoke Tour?

Yella got volumes of Porn out. He's got a whole series going on. He don't need no N.W.A., he's surrounded by hoes all day.
