In this clip from People's Party, Ice Cube discusses the necessity he felt in creating Westside Connection with Mack 10 and WC. He tells the story of how he felt like east coast radio and a couple of rap diss tracks were eating into the respect levels that West Coast hip-hop had gained, leading to needing to stand their ground and make it clear the West Coast was here to stay. Full episode arrives on Monday 2/3 at 9AMet/6AMpt.

But, lj should not forget about the beast boys and third base. And nick cannon needs to shut his mouth when it comes down to who is a guest. And stop having others write his raps. Because when it comes to that, he needs to stop trolling go back to Wilson's out and stick to that and stop trying to disrespect someone who is great at the craft of rhymes.

I always was a Cube fan, from the time he stepped out on Straight outta Compton, till today. I always saw him as real, like he wasn't a fake, I remember when NY'ers were snapping on the fact that NWA and a lot of the west coast was still wearing jheri curls. I remember a lot of clowning, and I was like, fuck that, I like King Tee, Parrish, Cube. I particularly liked Cube because he dealt with the reality of life, and he could get political like no one else n the west coast. Pac never had the impact when he came out, that Cube did. I do understand tho, that 2Pac was a different kind of artist when he hit the scene. It got bad in the hood when we had to pick sides on Pac and Biggie, in Bed Stuy, it was always Biggie, we loved him because wasn't nobody reppin like him. It's sad how that ended. But Cube, shit! He was that dude!

I remember when I saw Ice Cube and his entourage on 125th Street in Harlem near the Apollo a few months after he dropped Amerikka's Most Wanted. He was really proud that the people in New York were treating him as a star. He supported the local vendors at Mart 125 and bought alot of Afro Centric merchandise. Chuck D had influenced him where he was eager for knowledge but he still had that LA energy and had alot of LA dudes with him.

@Forgive me, I rarely ever have sex. I'm black BTW. you have to understand that NYC drives urban fashion and culture (or at least it used to). Yes, NYC wore jheri curls but that was very early 80s and for a very short time and mostly among the R&B pop acts. Hip hop and rap by it's very foundation was counter-culture so things like jheri curls and sappy radio R&B music was shunned for a more hip hop aesthetic which was a street aesthetic anyway. In other words, all that non hip hop shit was corny and wack to us including and especially jheri curls. You may think its stupid but those are the roots of the hip hop culture that everyone globally has embraced...its fundamentally counter-culture to the mainstream, which is why I hate this generation of rap that's all about commercialized garbage.

@Israel-nb7ip 4 жыл бұрын

@rock_boogie_spinz I can't front, being a Brooklyn dude born and bred during the golden age of NYC hip hop, I used to clown that west coast jheri curl look too...but I always loved Ice Cube. Death Certificate to this day is still one of my all time favorite albums and got heavy rotation on my Walkman from the day it dropped...and this is coming from a dude who was heavy into Rakim, Kane, EPMD, Boogie Down Productions, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Chubb Rock, Gangstarr, etc when it dropped so that tells you where my head was at. And, yes, you're right...Cube was as big as Pac ever was, if not bigger, while he was alive. Pac's current iconic status was achieved upon his death. Yes, he was on top of the game in '96 but that was as much about all the drama and beef as it was about the music. Cube was just as big a star as Pac was, and much bigger for most of the time they were both alive.

Cube and Death Row can’t say we didn’t support their records because they were able to come out here and perform sold out shows. I always felt like they would have been better off just dissing the rappers and dj’s they felt disrespected west coast music and left it at that.

I agree that's it was easier to appreciate music when you went out to buy it. You felt like you owned a piece of an artist masterpiece. Now all you have to do is type up a song on a streaming service and there it is. I miss dem days of DVDS and records. My problem with cassettes was when you had to rewind and fast forward them.

People weren’t coming at the West Coast. Dudes were coming at the garbage that certain people were spitting. Some of the music was just murder deaf kill with no bars. NYers came at Biggie when Big was spitting comercial nonsense without bars. Dudes liked Cube, Parish, Hieroglyphics, Jayo Felony, Rich Rich, Kurupt, XZ, King Tee, The Lics, NWA, Casual, Quick, Ren, The Coupe, Above The Law, Cypress, etc. But trash is trash even if it comes from your own block.

I agree with you overall, but NYC rappers didn't go at Biggie cuz of his bars. Everyone recognized Biggie had bars and dope lyricism. They just wasn't feeling the fake gangsta persona and materialism. Plus the King of NY Source magazine cover created rivalries. Nobody ever said Biggie wasn't spitting dope rhymes or dropping hot songs.

Israel Rosario Jr. ... To me and many other dudes, Big, Jay, and Nas were all making some uncreative nonsense at on point. And they got called out too. In New York, you used to get judged by what you say on the record or rap, not just on who you are.

Yo! You know what I love about this channel; you respect all areas of hip hop, even if you agree to disagree. You don’t get that from most people. I everybody has their favorite, and that’s cool. But it’s good to hear unbiased opinions. That stuff you said about NY, I’ve said it for years when it was happening, but kats tried to shoot me down. Yea, NY and the east coast were the home of the spitters and where it all began. However, this world is big enough for everybody to have their piece! For those that like one style over another, hats your personal preference and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem comes when you try to enforce that on everybody and diss people because they see it differently from Han you see it!

I fell in love with Westside Connection first album played it every single day all day as a matter of fact Ice Cube is one of my favorite rappers for several reasons and one is his storytelling when he went solo his first solo album the storytelling on that album is just nothing to be matched for me personally he introduced you to what was going on in the hood every way of life and made you realize the things he was talkin about you seeing every day and just didn't know it until he spoke on it

No one remembers Rodney O & Joe Cooley dissing NY on a whole album way before Westside Connection? The bias runs deep, a lot of wesst coast DJ's were robbed of titles that had taken place in NY in the 80's.

New York always had it's own gang culture from Decepts, Lo-Lifes, and 3 letter block crews but never no blood and crip shit. New York was always the trendsetters when it came to hip-hop, fashion, slang, hustling, dropping knowledge on wax etc etc... I don't know wtf happened.
