Ice Cube Denies Disses On New Track

Cube retreated to his blog yesterday and said Dr. Dre agreed to contribute to his upcoming album, I Am The West. He then repudiates dissing the Doc and anyone else on his new record “Drink The Kool-Aid”.
I wanna believe Cube but them 1st two lines on verse #2 leads me to think otherwise. Food for thought, he’s calling those who see it as a diss to Dre & Em “Internet roaches.” Yet, he’s constantly using this same Internet to either dismiss a claim or voice his opinion, all the while promoting his album. *shrugs*
I think the internet bloggers wanted the song to be a diss because there hasn’t been a really good betrayal-esque diss (that people could really believe) in a long time. And I’m pretty sure that if Cube were to put out a diss record, he would have said who he was calling out himself.
didnt read like a diss to me…yes he said doctor, but the sounded more like a real doctor than dr. dre…..
He wrote two ambiguous lines for promotion. He knew what he was doing, cube isn’t stupid. Song is dope though.
This nigga bullshittin, c’mon CUBE I’ma fukn Emcee my G and even if I wasn’t its plain 2 see you CAN’T be talkn bout anybody else but DRE & EM in that 2nd verse. I know wut happen, DRE heard the track called U up asap so you didn’t fuck up his legacy & U had been sayin U wanted 2 work w/ DRE on this album so this was middle ground. You had to come out & say it wasn’t a diss 2 get that beat, I can dig it.

I swear hiphop fans have the intelligence of a rabbit. It’s like when Jay-z said “I ain’t talking about JImmy, I ain’t talking about Dame……” and the dumbasses ran with it as a diss. It’s like hiphop fans are wired for beats and have no logic. Use common sense, because someone says someone name or moniker doesn’t mean it’s a diss, it’s just word play or metaphors.
yea IMO Cube is a more hands on Nigga well most of the west coast is hands on niggas meaning that they are going to say your name a la Kurupt Calling Out Names
Like when have Snoop Dre Cube Game or any west coast artist been known to throw a subliminal shot only one i can think of is Game with the Button Up Line bacc in the G but Cube has proven he has no problem with saying a nigga Name in a Diss I mean No Vaseline King of The Hill WestCoast Slaughterhouse not to mention his stab at Oprah
Westcoast niggas dont do that “I kno you kno who” bullshit east coast and some down south rappers be getting on all this I Never heard of 5 of them niggas on that cover but Im not going to name the people I do listen to bullshit some of these rappers be on
Cube is the type of Nigga to say Fucc Eminem
and the previous stab at Glasses it shouldve already been known who he was talking about cant really consider that a subliminal
I don’t know what to make of Cube lately. First he’s throwin shots at the up and coming West Coast artists and then backtracks when he’s confronted by them and now this. I know hearing the song and reading his lyrics it sure looks like he’s taking a shot at Dre and Em, but maybe it is just a case of some random lyrics that he just didn’t think through too well of how they could be perceived. I look at it as strike two for Cube though. Next time he doesn’t stand behind what he’s saying then its a wrap…
edit
“wired for beefs”
I don’t think he dissin them but no doubt who he referencing.
–
“I ain’t the Doctor
This ain’t the patient
This ain’t that nigga always on vacation
This ain’t no white boy’s rehabilitation”
& what about
–
“This ain’t Sanatra
This ain’t the Carter
This is the chaperone nigga who brought’cha
I am the author…this is Holy water
From the Holy Father the Rock of Gibraltar”
I could c why ppl would think that he diss Dre & Em tho.
I LIKE CUBE, BUT Y DISS EMINEM WHEN SHADY SHOWS HIM NUTTIN BUT LOVE
This aint no dead rappers reincarnation…..that towards MC Ren?? His new album is Renincarnation.
Doctor = Dre
Patient = The Game
Vacation Nigga = Kanye West
White Boy = Eminem
Sinatra = Jay-Z
Carter = Lil’ Wayne
looks like Cube is goin at all the top dawgs in the industry
It proves that Legends do fall off, think about it; Rakim, LL, Cube etc all legends that have become a shell of them former selves no have to rely to diss records to get ahead.
This aint no dead rappers reincarnation? sounds like a refrence to tupac
cube is way too smart to go after em and dre; cube is one of the dopest ever but em would slaughter him, no question
It’s the truth. Everytime u saw pics of Dre in the past, he was on the beach playin frisbie and football and shit. Nigga, get to work!!! I guess all this time, it took Cube to get in these niggas’ asses to get to fuckin work and quit being prima donnas. This hip hop, not Hollywood!
I don’t see it as a diss. However if this song IS a diss it’s not a very good one.
C’mon Cube. Who ya foolin’?!? As Cannon broke it down earlier, it is so obvious he is taking shots at niggas.
Anybody else start to feel the comeback of the x/E$tC0A$t? Dre, Cube, Snoop, GAME, Nipsey Hustle, E-40, Crooked I – All expected to or have already dropped this year…
It’s there time now. Let’s see what they do with it. x/E$t$iDE is the BE$t SiDE!
Oh, and he’s not dissing them. He’s referencing them, but he’s not dissing. “Sensitive thugs, y’all need hugs!”
So by him saying he is not eminem dre game jay z kanye or wayne means he is dissing them????????????? every single person who says this is a diss is retarded.. literally.. Jerry’s kids.. this whole post is full of them.. He is saying this is an Ice Cube album.. Maybe he is saying he has no ghost writers.. But its much better than anything jay rock or any other artist from the west in the past years whose not named game or nip hussle
Cube a smart dude he sublimingly takin’ shots at Jigga,Dre,Em and Weezy!.
But he aint gonna say he dissin dre because we would lose respect for tha homie.
jus like when game dissed 50 we all lost respect for game he bit the hand that fed him!.
But you don’t wanna publicly start beefin’ with Eminem tha niggas crazzy! and even if someone more lyrical dissed Em they would lose cos the millions of stans!
@flawda co-sign.. but no doubt Cube wanted stir up shit by sayin it but seriously theres no diss
Its not a diss but even if it was subliminal shots,its shouldnt be a problem because Cube is a MC. He understands competition.
Aim between the eyes Cube!!
Man tha muthafukn WEST is bak so all u fake ass wanna be gangsta rappers get cho pen nd notebook ready cuz da REAL GANGSTAS IS BOUTA SHUT DA GAME DOWN!!
WESTSIDE IS THA BEST SIDE!!!!
“gangstas make tha world go round”-Westside Connection
I told ya he wasn’t dissing anybody. He said it like ”I’m not Dre, 50, Eminem jayz z wayne and whoever, I’m ICE CUBE, the one and only”. Of course he knew these days it’s all about just putting a tiny reference to anyone in a song and there they go crazy screaming it’s a beef.
I want to see a good beef too, I think since early 50 VS Game, there hasn’t been a proper beef around, song for song, not video blogs and shit. So a good beef I’d like, but Ice and Dre have been there, done that and moved on in ’93. Plus Ice Cube is an old school rapper, no subliminals, he’d say it like this ”wayne you a bitch, jay you a lynch” etc. Listen to his true diss records and you’ll understand.
Plus he’s on Detox, Dre’s polishing his new shit and west west is coming back, fuck drak’s shit, this year we’ll hopefully have Dre, Em, Cube, J Cole and more rappers and MC’s, not R’nB (rhymes ‘n bitches) who claim rap game as their own with nothing to back it up.
I dunno…with Cube, off the strength of No Vaseline & Westside Slaughterhouse…those are blatant disses with names, or at least you know who he was going at. I’m gonna go with that..hes not dissin. Cube calls out names. Either way I hope his new album does well, Cube is a vet & stays pretty consistent.
CUBE HAS BECOME IRRELEVANT THATS WHY HE THROWING SHOTS AT PEOPLE. HIS ALBUM AINT GOING TO SELL LIKE THEY USED TO SO HE TRYING TO GROW MORE INTEREST. RAP HAS TOO MANY BITCH TYPE NIGGAS WHO MAKING THERE CAREERS LIKE THEY WERE WRITING A FAIRYTALE AND REAL NIGGAS SUFFER.
DONT MAKE SENSE WHY CUBE WOULD GO AT THE MAN WHO MADE HIM AND THE WHITE BOY WHO HAS TOTAL RESPECT FOR HIM.
Og!
@Canon
I thought it was
Sinatra = Biggie
Carter = Jay-Z
No one actually cares about lil wayne…
he’s not a “top dawg”
What the fuck do y’al mean by DISS?
How the fuck is it a DISS??
Even if hes REFERENCING them. In no way is it a diss!!
“Nigga always on vacation”
Maybe if WACK preceded NIGGA it would be a diss.
DUMB ASS niggas. These da same bitchez that got they panties ina bunch over Jay sayin he AINT talkin bout GAME.
I guess GAME disses 600 niggas on his albums huh??
HAHA
@Jason Ex = Jay-Z “I’m the new Sinatra” off Empire State of Mind
and Lil’ Wayne dropped Tha Carter 3
@Cannon is right on point!
