NWA "Message to BA" vs Ice Cube "No Vaseline" - A Reaction

[@jeffreyharvey9919]

For my money, the greatest dis song ever. Not only was it based on what was actually happening (Jerry and Eazy ripping the rest of the group off), it actually fit in with the larger themes of Death Certificate which talks a lot about the economic exploitation of Blacks in America with rape as a recurring metaphor. His ending words to Eazy about breaking away from Jerry match the larger message on the Life Side of the album about economic independence.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thanks for filling in those blanks, Jeffrey!

[@57kwest]

I feel you on that but I'd put Story of Adidon up there also.

[@VenomdaOne]

5 Mic album you must do when you do album reviews

[@HarryWilmington]

Also, if you want the "Hit Em Up" vibe, the REAL beef songs to do would be Dr. Dre's "Everbody F--k with Dre Day" vs Eazy-E's "Real Muthaphuckin G's." Easy-E''s song in particular goes HAAAAARD

[@ABoomerReacts]

I've been wanting to do that Eazy E song but I couldn't do a "versus" reaction video since I've already reacted to the Dre song.

[@HarryWilmington]

@@ABoomerReacts Definitely worth it, I actually think Eazy's song is better

[@bsanchez3563]

@@ABoomerReacts oh there is also the "what would you do" by snoop doggy dogg/dogg pound fro. The album titled dogg food...I consider it to be the verses of the song "DPG killa" [I wanna say that is standing for dogg pound killer but dint quote that haha] by Bg knocc out and dresta (the two brothers that are iirc the second and third verse singers featured and taken under eazy es wing so to speak on the song titled "real compton/real mf g's" and a simmilar song to in my opinion would be the other response title to dr dre dre day called "Its on" by eazy e...

@@bsanchez3563 When I reacted to real mfg g's, I got a few requests for BG Knocc and Dresta.

[@40EastTrill]

"Message to B. A" was just the intro to the actual diss song "Real Niggaz." Ice Cube responded to all of that in "No Vaseline."

[@ABoomerReacts]

Ooops. My bad.

[@lavantwooten2581]

Ice Cube said he was so mad when the beat was made, it took him about 45 minutes to write this.

[@MelquanKatz]

12:42 "When I was doing the east coast, west coast rivalry, someone was always getting F*cked in the a$$" LOL said so matter of factly. Love it!

[@ABoomerReacts]

Ha! I became immune to the image of ass-fucking after the Compton's Most Wanted song.

[@rotatopoti]

That thumbnail image with your face on the vaseline is hilarious. There have been interviews done where some people have said that Easy was a good guy and loyal. And that his loyalty to Jerry Heller really came from a good place. A lot of people forget that loyalty is a good quality when talking about Easy-E.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thank you! I have fun making the thumbnails. There's such a thing as misplaced loyalty, too. Jerry was sketchy.

[@uamini]

Ice Cube had already reacted to the first diss on a track called Jackin For Beats: "And if I jack you and you keep comin' I'll have you marks a 100 Miles and Running". What's funny is that after Dre left Death Row Records Suge Knight included No Vaseline on a Death Row Greatest Hits album. Everyone was so petty in those days. :)

[@ABoomerReacts]

Especially Suge

[@undertheaffluence280]

[@leecolfax]

Cool to see some beef tracks. You could do a lot of these. Beef tracks are kinda like battles. Here would be an interesting and fun review for you....... Rone vs Pat Stay - Compliment battle

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thanks, Lee. Why is it two artists but only one song?

[@leecolfax]

@@ABoomerReacts It is a rap battle where 2 artists battle against each other. The difference is that in this they complement each other instead of diss each other

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@leecolfax Interesting. Is it scripted or off the dome?

[@leecolfax]

@@ABoomerReacts Scripted, but throw in some frestyle during. They write memorize each round. Each person doesn't know what the other is going to say going into the battle. Usually battles are about dissing the other opponent but this battle was for fun a d about complementing the other opponent. This would be more of a fun review if you were interested in doing something like that.

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@leecolfax So they have to do off the dome lines in response to what the other guy said?

[@CallMeMrTibbs]

4:38 lol. Wtf conversation is this? A few of my fav IceCube tracks to react to: Hello with NWA (1st reunion song) Chin Check with NWA (2nd reunion song) Ghetto Vet Check Yo Self (remix) Pushin Weight

[@ABoomerReacts]

Usually there are fat dicks going into asses so I wondered why a broomstick now? It's a valid question. lol I'll add those Cube songs to my list. Thanks for the suggestions!

I remember my first reaction to this was... Do I call the cops? Because I just witnessed a murder. Like I feel like I got dissed just by listening LOL I felt bad for them! Haha!

[@ABoomerReacts]

Haha. That'll teach them to poke the bear.

[@derr3alex]

Better diss? You're right! Lol! I've read some of the comments but didn't see this. Did you know after Common's - I Used To Love H.E.R. Ice Cube dissed Common on Westside Connection - Westside Slaughterhouse, then Common dissed back with The Bitch In Yoo. Another double reaction? (Common got him pretty good)

[@ABoomerReacts]

That's a good idea!

[@michealceley6777]

[@googlemechuck4217]

You like Bizzy Bone? He's got a couple tracks addressed to people. Social Studies on Heaven's movie was addressed to some teenager who in court said bone thugs music lead him to murder a couple girls in Arkansas. Tragic And carbon monoxide, a relatively newer song addressed at the younger generation rap group who say Bone thugs have played out

I looked up the sample afterwards and I totally knew Dazz from back then but now, I never would have been able to tell you their name or the name of the song.

Ice cube went to the west coast. It was a big deal because it was a west coast artist going to the east and the bomb squad which produced for public enemy. I would really like to see you do Public Enemy - fight the power is a good one. They were everybody's favorite group at one time before NWA. Way more conscious. And a fun fact is that they were against drugs. But flavor flav was on hella drugs.

I've heard Fight the Power back in the day. What's your second choice?

Ice cube was known for having the Jheri Curl hair and/or the Afro. Soooo yeah, cutting off his hair big sign of disrespect lol
