Wow, i'm almost stunned.  To hear Cube basically denounce the major labels is the sweetest piece of news i've heard in a while.  Child Support is a great track, and i liked chrome & paint (it grew on me, and yes it's a neptunes beat).  My anticipation for this album has def increased.  I'm glad Cube is independant, because the album will come out the way he wants it, not the way some business man thinks is marketable.  

As for him not being on the Math, of course i'd love a Cube album with Dre's beats - but truth be told it may have never seen the light of day.  I'm glad Cube is calling his own shots and showing all these cats in the game that you don't have to sell your soul to a major label.

His comment about going platinum is so true.  Who gives a fuck if you sold 3 million albums, especially if you're only seeing pennies on the dollar from it.  Record sales don't mean shit.  If you're independant, you can sell 100,000 and make as much or more as some of these artists on a major pushin platinum.  

Props to Cube, and thanks for the article.

glad to see he's got his head on straight.  if he can be successful as an independent it will change the entire dynamics of the game.

you can tell he's felt this way for a while from his comments and even records and skits on other albums

Yeah, like Tha Eastsidaz...their first album went Platinum and the second one went Gold, and all Tray Deee and Goldie Loc received were Dogghouse chains and $40,000 cash.

I'm willing to bet that most of the wealthiest thugs in the game right now are the independent cats selling a tenth what these mainstream rappers are selling.  Especially in the bay...look how well E-40 and JT have done all by themselves, even though they've been on major labels at different times.

Some high-profile producers have been making themselves available to Cube such as Lil Jon, Swizz Beatz and Scott Storch. Snoop Dogg appears on two records, Juvenile has one cameo and Cube is also in talks to have a guest spot from the Diplomats' Juelz Santana.

Meh.
Sounds like mismatches, though you never know.

At least he's finally coming out.
I was hoping for some W.C., Mack 10, MC Ren, Young Tre or Doc Dre.  :-\

That all sounds cool and great. . .but at the end of the day all that matters to me is the music. . .and Cube hasn't made anything exceptionally good since about 96. War and Peace, with the exception of a few joints sucked.

It's all lip service until we hear the music, and both Child Support and Roll Call weren't exactly bangers. But hey, that's just my opinion.
