Legend. OG. Don Mega. No Vaseline Extraordinaire. Its always been a gd day when O’Shae(sp) doin his thing!

All I can say is why not throw a life line. If you help start someone elses career then you might help them live a better life. Remember when you were young and trying to make it. Help a brotha out. Singleton threw you one to help you make it in the movies.

Niggas forgeting where they came from as usual. Another form of separate but equal in my book. He is from hood, wants to be hood associated and affiliated, but dont want nothing to do with the hood.

Being from New York, specifically Harlem, the birthplace of rap, I never cared much for west coast rap. Sure, they have some ill beats, but their lyrics seemed to always be about some drive-by shootings (Tupac was the only one I can remember who rapped about anything significant). I used to HATE NWA, Snoop, the whole lot of them. I met Cube in the mid 90′s and became a fan because of the man he is (not necessarily his music. Although after meeting him I did pump Lethal Injection back then).
I don’t blame him for the stance he is taking. He made it. He is challenging them to have the same drive and put in the work that he put in. Dudes are like crabs in a barrel.

I am 4ever a West Coast Ryda on the real.I have been a fan of Ice Cube since NWA yet he has even came out with some whack shit lately that sounds like the upcoming corn ball ass artisthe speaks on. Especally this last 1 “Raw Footage”.I do hope he is refering 2 the content no the actual help. There was a time when even Cube got a break and was down with this kid named Andre Young (be on the look out 4 Detox …yeah right)Who put him down with this other kid named Eric Wright, who in turn gave him a break by asking him 2 write a song 4 him 4 this group called HBO . HBO did not like the song so this kid named Eric ended up doing the song which turned out 2 b “Boyz N Tha Hood” another xxxample what if Andre Young did not help a kid from Long Beach named Snoop .My point is sometimes it’s cool 2 pull some1 in. He has done it 4 Mack 10, The Lench Mob,K-dee etc. 2days hip hop artist really don’t understand the Grind or the sacrifice these previous West Coast artist put down 4 them.NWA, Snoop Dr.Dre E40, Quik Eazy E Spice 1 M.C.Eiht all have laid the blue print 4 the West Coast 2 follow . As Cube would say Bow Down.

I been listening to Cube since back in the NWA days, I guess it depends on how you look at it. One hand, like the brothaz said above in they commends, yeah may be he trying to tell these young cats thats comin up now, that they have to put they own work in like him and many other west coast rappers. And on the other hand, like 2NA$$TEE said, some body once gave him a break back in the day! But never the less,I still fu@kz wit Cube!
