Ice Cube has been causing alot of controversy lately, ever since he announced a new album titled "I Am The West." Over the weekend Cube decided he would debut his new single "I Rep The West", and address the controversy regarding his comments over Los Angeles newcomers.
As previously reported, on his website (IceCube.com), Cube was asked why doesn't he work with new artist. He replied by saying it's not his responsibility and doesn't plan to any time soon. Then he went on to give the title of his new album "I Am The West." He has struck a cord with some artists, especially the "new" acts he may, or may not, be referring to.
Whether or not Cube is calling out anyone directly isn't clear. But, at Paid Dues, he used the stage to further address the situation.
"It's been a gang of motherf***as talking sh** about your boy Ice Cube. I love it though ..." Cube told the crowd. "I got a message to all the new MCs in the house right now. I got love for all the MCs in the house right now, but if you diss the old west I got a problem with you if you diss the old west. You can't diss Dr. Dre. You can't diss Eazy-E. You can't diss Ice-T. You can't diss King Tee. No, you cannot diss Ice Cube," he added. "No, I ain't going for it. And any of you young motherf***ers that do f***in' diss, I got one thing to say before you do it. You better check yourself before you wreck yourself."
I Am The West is scheduled to drop July 13. For more info and to keep updated on Cube, visit IceCube.com.
