Title: Dre and Cube
Post by: No Compute on December 17, 2005, 10:26:23 AM
I've always wondered how these two hooked back up, how did Cube end up being in the Let Me Ride video after Dre dissing him on The Chronic on Dre Day, Let Me Ride & "G" Thang (the disses on Let Me Ride & "G" Thang are arguable - "Some niggaz like lynchin but I just watch them hang","Mobbin like a muh'fucker, but I ain't lynchin")?

My guess is that sometime within that 10 month gap between the The Chronic being released and Cube appearing in the Let Me Ride video, they patched things up. Didn't they have an advertisement for a Dre\Cube album in the Doggystyle booklet? Helter Skelter I believe.

I actually never interpreted "Let Me Ride" or "Nuthin But A G Thang" as diss tracks to Cube.  In "Dre Day", Dre aims a subtle diss at Cube when he says, "Got my chrome to the side of his White Sox hat", but that song was recorded and released as a single WAY before the rest of "The Chronic" was completed, so it's easily possible they ended their feud before then.

When he says "some niggaz like lynchin, but I just watch em hang" on "Let Me Ride", he may be referring to Da Lench Mob, but I think it's mostly just to lay out the apolitical nature of his music compared to theirs - earlier in the song, he also says, "No medallions, dreadlocks, or black fists it's just that gangsta glare, with gangsta raps, that gangsta shit, that makes a gang of snaps", acknowledging that he's just about straightforward gangsta rapping, not engaging in revolution or anything like that (which is what Da Lench Mob promoted on their album).  I know some people that also claim he admits selling out in that line - he's saying he makes gangsta records because they make him money, but I digress.

i wonder how the atmosphere was like in the studio, cube and dre recording helta skelta, cubes people and deathrow people, bet u they couldnt get along, something had to have came between these two why they never finished it (because we've heard of Gimme 50 Feet), or maybe it coulda been jus label politics.

I heard rumors that California Love was originally booked to be a Dre\Cube collabo, then changed to a Dre solo before eventually ending up as 2Pac & Dre...also, that "Can't C Me" was to be for the Dre\Cube project. When that fizzled out, it was for the Dogg Pound, before Dre gave it to 2Pac.

they patched it up when Dre realized that Cube was the smart one to bounce from Ruthless & Eazy...

Dre was in the really doe video.

I think that was him when he appears in a flash when cube raps 'Seen one of my peers, "What the fuck you doin in here?"
He said, "One-eighty-seven on the enemy'

Dre n Cube were clowning about in a conference at that time and were kidding about froming NWE 'niggaz without Eazy'

That Helter Skelter album would of been a classic during that era, they were gonna get Ren on a few songs and the likes of a young Snoop etc would of all proably featured. Wow what an album that would of been no thanks to fat suge.

it was clearly a diss to cube.  what about "puffin' on blunts & drankin' tanqueray" where kurupt rhymes:
"death row ain't lenchin' and the pound ain't mobbin'
we all don't give a fuck, went in your crib and start robbin'"

they were clearly dissing cube.  nwa never responded to no vaseline, so it was like cube had taken the last shot at dre.  and dre and the boys got back at cube and got the last laugh, several times, before it was squashed.

California Love originally had Ice Cube recorded on it, they (Deathrow) erased him and put Pac on the track.

What about the Ren diss on the Chronic, "What up Ren? Dropping chronic flakes on your ass, beeyatch!" lol
