Ice Cube Speaks On Forthcoming 9th Studio Album..."I Am The West."

[Dre-Day]

I think Cube just put some uneeded pressure on himself naming the album that, as critics will shred it to bits if it even has anything other than a westcoast sound on it. But if anyone can pull this off, it is Cube. I am amped for this.

i would buy it if he managed to pull it off, but he won't

[kuruptDPG]

great stuff, i hpe its just westcoast vibe to it and hopfully there will be collabos on this too

[BiggBoogaBiff]

great stuff, i hpe its just westcoast vibe to it and hopfully there will be collabos on this too

a str8 WestCoast only vibe would be pretty wack bcuz once again Cube would put himself in a box and more people than ever would come out tha woodwork bitching (with good reason too).  keep that shit original, get some gumbo shit on tha beats and keep that shit rockin.  WestCoast only sounding albums in 2010 is  foreal foreal

YAYYAYAYAYA

Cube it sounds great bro ive been a fan since day 1 but did you get a inspiration from MC Eiht's Which Way Iz West title ?   just wondering

His last 2 albums were tight as hell even with this southern influence. And for anybody trying to say Snoop wouldn't try to keep the west alive, hell get your facts right and do some reasearch of what he has done over last 10 years (not only solo records).

I don't know how to feel about this title of Cube's new record... When he names it "I Am The West" he has to do some west coast sounding music. Something like "Stand Tall" off RF or "Spittin Pollaseeds" off LNCL. But I have the feelings that the title won't say too much about the music, unfortunately. But I think even with a misleading title I will enjoy his new album as much as his last two.

I sometimes imagine what would happen if he sticks to what the title says, imagine such a tracklist:

*dream mode on*
01 Bringin It Back (Intro) ft. DJ Crazy Toones
02 Coastin ft. WC & Young Maylay [Prod. by DJ Crazy Toones]
03 South Central [Prod. by Teek Da Beatsmith and Dee Underdue]

15 Veteran's Play ft. E-40, MC Eiht & Spice 1 [Prod. by Teek Da Beatsmith and Dee Underdue]
*dream mode off*

well, sorry for dreamin... but this would be something like a tracklist from heaven...

Hell yeah that trackllist is sooooooooooooooo dope bro

[GangstaBoogy]

Cube still has the ability to drop some dope verses


but if you want to be the west YOU HAVE TO FEATURE NEW WEST ARTISTS

For what? Most of these New West niggas suck. I'd like to see Cube work with G.Malone but thats Mack 10's boy so don't see that happening. And Bishop? Lol I'd rather barf in a bag then eat it for lunch the next day.

If anything he needs to reach out to the vets, just not the usual. Him and Snoop can't make a good record together, its been proven. And him and WC collabin is almost boring now. I wanna see him reach out to Yukmouth, Too Short, Daz, Crooked I, B-Real, etc.

And for anybody trying to say Snoop wouldn't try to keep the west alive, hell get your facts right and do some reasearch of what he has done over last 10 years (not only solo records).

Like what? Game has done more for the West in the last 6 years than Snoop has in the last 10.

Wow this nigga just made up a whole album. I've always wondered who does that.

[ironmike]

Snoop ain't made a West Coast album since Tha Last Meal. 

real talk. snoop is the biggest sellout, and warren g is a big sellout too.

So yeah Cube is spittin' truth and it's good that he admits he guilty of following the South. If he stays true to his word and makes a West Coast album then I'll cop no matter what.

yeh i'll definately cop that aswell if he sticks to his words.

[doggfather]

And what about that Cube & WC collabo, what mentioned a few YEARS ago? 

[Dre-Day]

06 Killer In The White House ft. Paris [Prod. by Paris]

it doesn't make sense that they've never collaborated before, as Paris was influenced by Cube's oldest work

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

dont know bout that but wouldnt be suprised
and the daz/wc tape

that shit would be corny ass fuck bcuz you would have way too many vrr-vrr-vmuuhvs with the wobbly standard westcoast bass.  


now i couldn't say specifically on who to produce it (hopefully a duel new and old producer combos on the songs - Sir Jinx w/Best Kept Secret or 9th Wonder & Terrace Martin) bcuz it's gotta come from Cube & the people who aren't yes-mens and bitches around him.  it's gotta be something raw but slightly inspirational, something not always too uptempo or too slow but something to make your brain react like "not dyin" from Sticky Fingaz, and maybe a deadsoul track or two, the music kinda has to be bipolar in a sense.  and lyrically just make the music sound good with some real effort into how the flow sounds and not just that standard old talk-yell rap, some real cadence and fire and not not that half ass'd shit.  i brought LNCL, i wasn't mad i brought it really, and Raw Footage was cool but those albums weren't tha Cube that everybody wanted hear.  i be all for artist growth but you have to always stick to what works and what the people wanna hear, just hopefully original than tha songs b4 it.  

nah bro, you corny
