Name the most interesting Cube beef

[@PersonnetaimeGuy]

Tempting to say the NWA one because it sparked No Vaseline. But I remember the beef w/Common and I was like oh ok. This conscious dude from Chicago ain’t scared at all tho Westside Connection went hard at him

[@wildsidetv313]

The beef he had with cypress hill

[@alexanderzacarias7093]

Definitely the stolen hook beef with cypress

[@zahirbivings8023]

Definitely his beef with cypress hill I still keep watching video of it

[@Israel-nb7ip]

The most interesting was definitely the Common one for me because no one could see that one coming plus Common was known as a conscious rapper yet he singlehandedly murked a whole crew that had Cube who was a proven battle rapper. Its like if De La Soul would've responded to Pac and dismantled him completely.

[@darksharxz]

Takes a real man to admit when you wrong.

[@trublu72lewis77]

it's all that.

[@undertaker3346]

@@hiiipoweriii2211 it probably wouldn't hav been a ironic verse if cypress Hill done it

[@ianduvall869]

Right or just squash the beef for the greater good for peace sake 🫶🏾

[@deedubb777]

I'm from the West Coast, and I never felt like Common disrespected us. He proved it in his lyrics referencing the West from the jump. So It's good to finally hear Cube say that "beef" wasn't warranted. Cause boooy, that "Bitch In Yoo" by Common Sense was a monster!! Sheeesh! Lol

[@2Faded247]

Dee Dub You didn’t think that was a Westcoast diss on “I used to love her”?

[@saturncrush]

Common lit him up!!! One of the best diss tracks ever!

[@deedubb777]

@Bakers Finest .. Aye Maaan, I got Super Love for Ice Cube, WC, and Mack 10, but Brotha Com ate they asses up!! Lol. I still listen to "Westside Slaughterhouse" on Mack 10's album though. Shit was hard! It was just all for not, cause he didn't diss the West...

[@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433]

Not @ all. Common skills are WHACK. Cube can dog that nigga in his sleep. & I'm FROM the East (Philly) saying this.

[@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433]

@Bakers Finest he corny as shit. Only song I ever liked of his is "the ppl".

[@oldwalt4645]

On the sneak tip Common and Cube have incredible chemistry on the screen. Their argument in the shop about their son's gang initiation was the best scene in Barbershop 3. It was like they channeled their rap battle personas

[@davidemelia6296]

I know this was a long time ago, and he's a totally different person now, but Ice Cube going after Common was like the school bully picking on the school nerd because he thought he'd be a soft target, only to get his teeth knocked out 🤣

[@scottmiller5971]

Great analogy cuz thats exactly what happened🤣

[@I_be_e]

Teeth knocked! Stop it fool.. Nobody got their teeth knocked

[@Six_Four_InA_64]

@@I_be_elearn what an analogy is 🤡

[@twocents6951]

Common said black music is black music and it’s all good he wasn’t salty she was with the Boyz from the hood. I Used To Love H.E.R. was a track most hip hop heads could relate to. Cube and them probably thought Common would be a pushover. B!tch In Yoo definitely one of hip hop’s most underrated diss records.

[@dawb86]

@Two Cents They thought it was a diss just like NYC thought "New York, New York" by Dogg Pound was a diss. "New York, New York, big city of dreams/and everything in New York ain't always what it seems/You might get fooled if you come from out of town/but I'm down by law and I'm from the Dogg Pound." That's the ultimate respect for the Big Apple but in those early days of subliminal disses you had to be real careful and sometimes things got taken out of context, plus our favs was honestly just young at the time.

[@twocents6951]

dawb86 Well considering The Dogg Pound already had a prior incident in NY it probably had a lot to do with people opinion on the record. I never thought it was a diss personally. It wasn’t until they shot that video that I looked at it differently. Someone like Common is from Chicago and has nothing to do with any beef. He’s completely neutral and a innocent bystander lol. I guess in retrospect guys were young and they didn’t make the best decisions. That includes mostly everyone.

[@dawb86]

@Two Cents But the whole reason the video got shot like that was because Dogg Pound got shot at lol. Like Cube said, everyone's ears were kind of sensitive in that era because all of a sudden people were making underhanded comments that seemed like they were going at gangster rap, which seemed to really be a shot at west coast artists in general. Sadly a lot of artists just got caught up in it and couldn't see the bigger picture.

[@twocents6951]

dawb86 I know why the video was shot like that but again guys were young and they didn’t make the best decisions. If they were really trying to honor NY maybe they should of had a NY artist or two on that record and then shot a video for it. It would be hard to misinterpret it at that part. Cube had some nerve being sensitive because he was one of the west coast artist that actually got love out here. Like I said in a previous post. If they felt certain people were disrespectful to west coast artists just say their names and single them out. Leave NY out of it. It was just a big mess.

[@dawb86]

@Two Cents That was the original video treatment. To get cats they fucked with like Big L and Nas in the video. When they went out there to start shooting scenes, B.I.G. gets on the radio and is pissed saying "New York, stand up." He thought Pac was going to be at the set with them. That's why they got shot at. After that it felt like cats they was supposed to be cool with was on some hater shit and they changed it up. I was always shocked Snoop could still be cool with B.I.G. after that even though it was an accident but as we know, that's why Pac ended up on bad terms with Snoop when he died. Either way, there's a LOT of people to this day pretending they weren't taking subs on the low in freestyles and on record but hey, the past is the past, just learn from it I suppose...

[@walterdanielperez5622]

@@dawb86 I do not hold a grudge, a wise person who knows everything, I simply tell the truth, obviously everything is fine because Cube only liked disrespect but when he saw that it was difficult and that he was not untouchable, he calmed down and stopped insulting other artists .

It was rumor that Common ran with vice lords. That probably scare cube also.

[@ronaldjames7843]

Cube was on that 2pac wave after hearing Hit em Up. Cube album he dropped prior didn't do too well & he wasn't really talked about because 2pac was the biggest thing on the westcoast at that time & Cube saw jealousy so he decided to get Mack 10 & WC to form Westside connection group & he started taking shots at rappers for record sales & attention & he definitely made a mistake coming at Common who at the time was brand new & he wasn't even big yet & little did Ice cube know he just made Common bigger & his fan base got bigger.

[@Youngairmoney]

@@ronaldjames7843yea that’s what happened

Funny how the artists and those who had beef, but the listeners/viewers/commentors still want to bring up the details and choose sides.

What was his beef with cypress hill?

[@adamb0mb311]

BReal was supposed to be in the first Friday movie but was not able to make the movie because cypress hill manager messed up and scheduled shows in Europe during the filming. Cube got little bothered by this. So B real wanted to make it up by giving Cube a song CH just made. Cube ended up hearing couple other tracks on the album and liked a specific track which cube asked for CH said no but while CH was touring in Europe B REAL got a call in middle of the night from some homies saying they heard the track on the radio but with different lyrics but similar chorus on the track that cube wanted but CH said no. So CH felt that cube stole that track and changed the lyrics before CH was able to release that album.
