Why was ice cube dissing the east back in the day

[get these nets]

Correction. Cube goes directly at NYC rap media in the 2nd song posted in the OP. And u didnt ask me about the 2nd song in the OP....U asked about other shyt and now u asking about that specific WSC song.

But that specific song is aimed more at NYC rap media. The Source magazine and the radio.

Saggin as a pelle, smashin tape recorders/This is 187 on a new york reporter

Leave em bleedin in particles for them biases articles

Kickin over newstands, pouring gasoline on your magazines

fukk all the critics in the n-why-see/And your articles tryin to rate my lp


I bet you after this I get a fukkin hip-hop classic


nikka fukk that shyt
I gotta, kill it kill it, fukk a new york critic
He write about how I lived it, did it, plus I'm still with it
Puttin it down on all these djs, hate, fakin and flakin
Never once played my record on their radio station
No love for a new york critic or disc jock
Matter of fact I'm blamin all y'all for fukkin up hip-hop

U need to go listen to that song again. The entire song is aimed more at NYC rap media....then it is shytting on NYC as a whole. Let me also add....East Coast rappers were also ahytting on NYC rap media as well.

re-read my first post in this thread.
i mentioned the source and hot 97 by name

in this thread i posted lyrics and a picture of cube choking out a statue of liberty UNDER the word New York

you can keep going the Lalin from Carlito's Way route, and act like these public jabs were unrelated "it's something else, i was gonna give you a signal, it's not even turned on" or you can just admit that he was shytting on new york.

before you craft another juelz

the bow down song has multiple jabs at new york, the (then current dress code in ny) ,direct jabs at nyc artists,etc,etc BY Ice Cube.

come on man. Cube was shytting on New York in that era , no juelz, plea copping can get around that.

will ask for the final time what you think prompted him to make lines and bars shytting on nyc in so many different ways.?

Why wouldn't he want Cube on his side didn't he say in the beginning of Makevalli "The Capp in this big as war we got" Talking about Snoop when Snoop had no intentions of really getting involved.

Look like he aligned himself with the wrong MC...nikka wanted all the Glory for taking out the East on his own. But in retrospect Cube was the Don of the Westcoast and that's why Pac cancer men especially was bytching..Pac really think he was gonna take nikkas out without help.

nikkas its levels Pac got 3 straight classics along with Redman in the 96 time frame.

Cube was the first to do it understand your place.

Bout to bump N.Y.C. Critic



nikkas think L L line about in La muthafukkas gangbang but if you touch the mic yall know the rest..Yall thought that was for Pac

first time ever hearing that the LL verse on i shot ya was directed towards cube.

are you serious or joking?

 

[DANJ!]

I always thought it was ESPECIALLY strange comin' from Ice Cube, an artist that always got respect from NY. And the whole West Coast hate thing has been exaggerated forever... nikkas legit tight because a couple writers, a handful of rappers, and people in the cheap seats at award shows didn't like Cali rappers. Then it turns into "THE EAST COAST HATED ON US"

Got jerked at the source awards next year 200 nikkaz coming with swords - Ghostface

They don't play my hits, well, I don't give a shyt, so - Jay Z speaking on Hot 97s strong arm tactics of having artist perform for free at Summer Jam or be threatened with not having their songs played.


Masta Killa punching dude from Source Magazine


Ghostface saying fukk Hot 97



Like I said in post #18....NYC rappers been complaining about The Source and NYC radio not playing their shyt so

My dude.....It seems like u want me to repeat myself. I already explained that Hot 97 played whatever was hot from any coast ( Gin and Juice, Dear Momma, Never Seen A Man Cry, Cell Therapy, Thats Just My Baby Daddy ) and that NYC rappers also been complaining about The Source and NYC radio.

And u keep jumping around...First u said The 2nd song in the OP now u jumping to the song Bow Down. I already explained in post # 21 that yes Cube was taking "sideways jabs"......Do u want me to repeat myself? My dude...U do not remember that the Bow Down album was also shytting on Common and Cypress Hill? Cypress Hill got it the worst on that album. Way worse then the NYC jabs. the "Bow Down" concept wasn't just aimed at NYC.

And I already answered your question in post #11 about why he did it....Because he was disloyal. UZN held him down when he needed it and then abandoned them once he got his own juice up. UZN spoke about Cubes disloyalty in FEDS magazine. They spoke about how he left the conscious shyt once he stopped fukking with UZN and thats why Bow Down has no consciousness like Cubes prior albums. Thats why I said Cube shoulda told WC not to take shots at Q Tip. Another sign of disloyalty from Cube was that the Bow Down album didnt have 1 shout out to Eazy E who had passed a year and a half prior.

Cube was always the star of NWA after he left and got love from the East I think the East was expecting him to stay over there and keep making those albums. He didn’t Cube is California.
