I liked Cubes content when he was more political than gangsta. Same with 2Pac. Everybody always say All Eyez on Me was PAC’s best album but I disagree… Me Against the World was his best album.
So we're still playing dumb? There are Neighborhood affiliates. It's not rocket science. Cube is a family man that stayed out of the news (trouble with the law) and got his bread. What good has being a "real gangster" done for anyone anyway? He raised his family, that's what's important here
See someone woke up the real ones ...over here ..most the people act like they don't know what "affiliated " means that's why the police , government -real opps, thrive on us because of ignorance, affiliated means socialize with, do business with, partnership with, but still remaining your own entity, or business, and doesn't take away from learning street knowledge or ability to perform sed tactics , you can sell dope. You can pimp. You can scam , etc...and positive things without claiming a color , let that die

I don't think what Cube did was a REAL C - walk, more like a gangsta boogie. To me, it ain't real C-walkin if it ain't done like Ghost and S Bone(R.I.P).
Eazy-E and MC Ren were both Locs (KCCP). Mob James would not know if Ren ran with Locs back in the day. Ren also joined the United States Army later on, but his enlistment did not last long. BTW, we need a MC Ren+MC Eiht album.
Cube stated on his song "Projects" I don't bang I rock the good rhyme". Cube just gave a view of what was going on in his surrounding. Just like a reporter would do in any major city.
Mc Ren was the real muscle u knew that when u listened to his album & my favorite song SAME OLD 💩 CLASSIC MC REN ONE OF THE DOPEST MC EVER NOT ENOUGH FLOWERS
Eazy and Ren were the real gangsters on the group. Ice Cube had hardcore/gangsta lyrics but also socially conscious lyrics as well that represented the west coast.
I grew up on a farm in Ohio and I never felt like NWA were even trying to be gangsters or promote gangbanging. I knew they were just rapping about their neighborhoods. I will never figure out why people looked at NWA as dudes who were gangsters lol. They were a product of their environment, so their lyrics reflected that. They never even wore colors that were popular with gangs in those communities. They were young black men that used music to better their lives...Sorry if you had crappy parents that didn't instill values in you and you were badly influenced by a rap group. Or you weren't intelligent enough to just be entertained by it lol. People that blame NWA for this and that are the same people who can't accept accountability.
Same ones that blame Video Games & Movies for their Monster Kid burning the house down with his little sister in it when really It's a mix of dog shit parenting and their kid having deeper issues, neither of which they want to take responsibility for or deal with when it's easier to point the finger at something else.
As someone from the Midwest, I always looked at Cube as the West Coast’s Chuck D… The voice, the knowledge, the rebellion… just my pov from the outside
Ice Cube is a song and movie writer entertainer that grew up in 111 NH. He was a spoke person for his section and South Central. The same with Ice T. He ran with the Rollin 30's 40's and 60'. He wasn't a banger but told their stories like a narrator. LA loved him for that.
Ice cube wrote NWA whole straight outta Compton album so that means the story was always from a south central LA perspective because ice cube not from Compton but LA where the crips & bloods originated from south central LA , I don’t understand why MC ren can be a gangsta because he from Compton but ice cube being from LA couldn’t get that same recognition from MC eight , MC eight makin it all about Compton instead of giving LA it’s do respect shit south Central LA king 👑 of Los Angeles county gang culture to be politically correct 💯💯💯
This is what Kendrick Lamar was talking about. He said he never really claimed a gang but he's still from Compton so whether you bang or not, you still gotta stay prepared for whatever & keep that banger on you because of the environment. Just because you may not be in a gang dont mean you still cant put in work when necessary. Same thing for Ice Cube, he grew up in the neighborhood so he still had to be 10 toes down & ready for whatever because of the environment he's from. People always like to run with this narrative that just because you ain't claiming a set dont mean you still cant put in work because I know a lot of people from LA that Im tight with & they never claim a set but they definitely still down because once you in LA & you get approached by a gang member, they dont ask you if you bang or not, the first question they ask you is where you from? And thats the nature of LA. & if you from LA, you can't be no punk, thats just what it is
Rather it be LA Atlanta or Africa! You can't be no punk in no hood not just LA. Y'all can't even go to other cities without getting whooped on knock it off with the LA so tough crap
And sometimes it don’t matter if you bang or not. If you saw u don’t bang, they gonna ask where you live. Example I got banged on by some jungles told em I don’t bang next thing u know they say where u live, so I told em I lived in the VNG and they was like oh ok
@@geeknsneaks Yeah they did. Ren didn't actually get initiated in the KPCCS. He was an affiliate though.

I was in 3rd grade and knew Cube wasn't a real gangster. I could tell based on his stories that he grew up around them and that he was telling their stories. If he did half of the stuff he rapped about, he would be doing life in prison.

I don’t know any of them personally so I can not say if they were real gangsters or not… most of these cornballs in the comment section of these videos are always debating and arguing over other men they personally don’t know is kind of weird.
I was so hurt 1st time I saw Cube in DC at hotel 2001 All Star Game . We saw him come down a flight of stairs . We a bunch of athletes. We saw him at 5”7 my childhood vision of him was crushed. 😂. That’s when I realized all these rappers were small. Some really bout it though. Some just great at story telling. Cube taught us so much about Life, politics, women , dope, sex , hood sh💩t etc
Respect to MC Eiht for the way he handled that…. Everybody know Cube wasn’t out there but he was in the hood so he had to survive to… He tells hood stories!!
Cube is one the pioneers of gangsta no one can do it like he did he reped for the west coast down south we love cube easily one of my top 10 of all time
Cube don't throw up nuthin but W's. Cube has never made gang bang music. Cube always been a political gangsta rapper. O, they say he N-Hood affiliated....
They passed the eye test back then more than now. They background check the fuck out of ppl now. All these young guys crashing out to prove themselves while ppl like ice cube created there way to the top but getting questioned 30 years later.
Easy and Ren were the only real street dudes, I like Cube but don't understand the criteria, Cube never did any of the things that he says in his raps, but others get put down or said they are fake because they didn't live that life, but for some reason Cube gets a pass for not living his raps 🤔
@@bigprob8744I kinda lost some respect for Cube when he took the fade from Solo and chin checked. Or before that when Cold 187'um(Above The Law) rocked 🤜
Cube got a pass because he grew up around it and was telling his homies stories thru rap these new dudes faking it because that's what's selling and the labels making them do it
@@ceo469 Honestly, Cube was just guilty by affiliation. Though never put in any "work" and indulged in any real street activities to be officially certified. I felt him when he was down with NWA initially and even going solo with Amerikka's Most Wanted. Once the whole Westside Connection phase started with Mack 10 and WC, that's when I felt he was being disingenuous with his hood(111 Neighborhood Crip). Rapping like he was a shot caller with this "Don Mega" persona. Cube talked about the streets in his rhymes, but was never from the streets
Some of these cats with the fascination of hating on Cube is ridiculous. Cube fam from over there in 111Neighborhood My Cousins and Fam from around the corner St. Andrews - He aint gotta bang he was from there enough said NEXT TOPIC - Garr!
Yeah, but JD, Shorty(Lench Mob) and more importantly WC "certified" him when it came to Crippin'. And then Kam plugged him with certain Gs like Tha Comrades and B-Dawgs like All From Da I
@@kalipooh3388 Obviously you can't read, I said WC "certified" Cube, meaning Dub vouched for him on strength being from that set. Not saying he's down, but he's an affiliate. Not as a gang member
I think the thing that was missing out of the convo is that claiming a set with a rag doesn't make you a gangster either and you can be with all the --- without claiming a set or color claiming a color is not the beginning or end of gangster
He never claimed it but most people thought he WAS bangin because of his lyrics and how he looked. Monster Kody, I remember him having to clear shit up about Cube. He said Cube ain't no gangsta, ain't shot nobody, ain't robbed nobody, ain't been locked up, but niggas think he is because of the shit he be talkin about, which is how the real gangstas were livin. It was just an image thing. I"m glad he wasn't no gangsta because he probably wouldn't have survived long enough to see his first solo album.
Cube represents Street Knowledge, Not Gangbangin'
It's a difference
💯
You think Cube had street knowledge? He might’ve hung around guys in the hood maybe.
Why was he Crip walking then?

I was in 3rd grade and knew Cube wasn't a real gangster. I could tell based on his stories that he grew up around them and that he was telling their stories. If he did half of the stuff he rapped about, he would be doing life in prison.
Stop lying… you was in 3rd grade when you came to this conclusion.
Shit if he did one thing he rapped about he would be doing life 😂😂
He ain’t the only one.95 percent of the niggas rappin back then wasn’t doin albums worth of dirt and never been to jail.You can’t just single out Cube…
You're talking bout being a 3rd grader and knowing about who was a gangster and who was not?! STFU kid, you was only banging them texbooks 😂😂
He more gangsta then you I bet

Good interview. 🤙
Mr First Power Himself Eazy-E 💯
That intro “First Power” from Str8 off the Streets of Muhphuckin Compton is the most wildest intro of hip hop albums of all times 💯
@@91Definite That Outro Who Will Survive In America From My Twisted Beautiful Dark Fantasy Is The Most Wisest Outro Of Hip Hop Albums Of All Times As Well 💯
Ren was a G too he was just the little hommie in the Hood Eazy in the streets since late 70s
Cube never exploited gangsta rap, he still talked about real shit and issues on his first 3/4 albums
What was the fourth? Bow down is one of my favorite albums ever. He def kept an image.
Stop it. After 93, he was a gangsta in his raps
Yeah, after 93 was after his 4th album. But i dont think he went overboard on westside connection, he wasnt claiming crip or blood like WC or Mack 10@@ZYaKnoe249
True
@@powwow360he was claiming being a gangsta & crip walking on stage
Eazy-E Was The Real Gangsta In N.W.A
NO HE WAS JUST A HUSTLER
@@kharyvines6971You're both right! Eazy was part of the set but during that time the set was mostly hustlers.
OK INTERNET KIDS
THE GANG MEMBERS THAT WASN'T HUSTLING.NWAS BASICALLY FLUNKEYS. nobody BANGS 24/7
@@kharyvines6971you think hustlers don’t do gangsta shit 😂
I don’t know any of them personally so I can not say if they were real gangsters or not… most of these cornballs in the comment section of these videos are always debating and arguing over other men they personally don’t know is kind of weird.
Cube was the hood narrator,he represented for THE HOOD.
he painted the picture of what goes on because he from there. He never claimed no set
He wore black while Mack and Dub wore red and blue. Mack and Dub were claiming colors while Cube was promoting Black unity and the Nation of Islam
@@geeknsneaks right 💯
1st OFF, respect to MC EIHT. 2nd, Cube was bangin in Maryvale (Phoenix,AZ) when he was out here going to school. All I'm gon say bout dat. Peace
I might be wrong, but, I don't know any song by Ice Cube claiming any set. Now he would rap in third person telling the stories of others.
I was so hurt 1st time I saw Cube in DC at hotel 2001 All Star Game . We saw him come down a flight of stairs . We a bunch of athletes. We saw him at 5”7 my childhood vision of him was crushed. 😂. That’s when I realized all these rappers were small. Some really bout it though. Some just great at story telling. Cube taught us so much about Life, politics, women , dope, sex , hood sh💩t etc
Why Cuzz hating on Cube? Eight caught it though... I was trying to place the voice. That's Mob James slow ass hating on Cube.
Respect to MC Eiht for the way he handled that…. Everybody know Cube wasn’t out there but he was in the hood so he had to survive to… He tells hood stories!!
Cube dressed the part….so he faked the funk…..cube was trey in boys n the hood
Bear from 89 neighborhood east coast was in the movie colors
Ren was from Kelly Park
Cube is one the pioneers of gangsta no one can do it like he did he reped for the west coast down south we love cube easily one of my top 10 of all time
Cube has ALOT of Crip related lyrics. I can give you several easily. He's just a product of his environment when writing music.
Cube just represented his city/culture
I never seen cube throwing up a C or a B or any type of gang signs other than the W
I'm from Rhode Island, Connecticut 🤣🤣🤣
Eazy n MC Ren were really gang members the other members didn't claim a hood or street they wanted to do music.
Even though all of the members were in tough neighborhoods the real gangsters were Mc ren & Eazy e the others are hip hop gangster rap musicians
*Rhode Island Connecticut 😂😂 **#MellDuney616** 😂😂 - MELL DUNEY 616*
Passing the eye test.
Talking about that six9 cat.
People get gangbanger and gangster mixed up. Cube is most definitely a gangster
Ice Cube not a gangster. Ren & Eazy were the real gangsters
Aight now, in CT in Hartford or Bridgeport or New Haven or Stamford they shooting for real
I’m from south bentral on the east side and ice cube yella and dre were civilians but eazy and ren was cc
Dre from the east side with his sister that went to Fremont..facts
Eazy and Ren was KPCC
Cube don't throw up nuthin but W's. Cube has never made gang bang music. Cube always been a political gangsta rapper. O, they say he N-Hood affiliated....
Eazy!!
"I don't bang, I rock the good rhymes."
Ice Cube
Snoop Dogg is a real crip
" I don't bang I rock a good rhyme."
They passed the eye test back then more than now. They background check the fuck out of ppl now. All these young guys crashing out to prove themselves while ppl like ice cube created there way to the top but getting questioned 30 years later.
Where exactly is Rhode Island Connecticut?
Cube has never thrown up a "C" in any movie he's been in. Not even Boyz n the Hood. The hell is homie talking about?
I'm from Rhode Island, Connecticut LMAO! 🤣😭😭😭
Easy and Ren were the only real street dudes, I like Cube but don't understand the criteria, Cube never did any of the things that he says in his raps, but others get put down or said they are fake because they didn't live that life, but for some reason Cube gets a pass for not living his raps 🤔
You think rappers do what they say in there raps? It's entertainment, cube painted the picture and told us them story's like a street reporter.
@@bigprob8744I kinda lost some respect for Cube when he took the fade from Solo and chin checked. Or before that when Cold 187'um(Above The Law) rocked 🤜
Cube got a pass because he grew up around it and was telling his homies stories thru rap these new dudes faking it because that's what's selling and the labels making them do it
@@elijahstraight402he took Ls from dudes twice his size. He should get the w just 4 taking the fair ones...
@@ceo469 Honestly, Cube was just guilty by affiliation. Though never put in any "work" and indulged in any real street activities to be officially certified. I felt him when he was down with NWA initially and even going solo with Amerikka's Most Wanted. Once the whole Westside Connection phase started with Mack 10 and WC, that's when I felt he was being disingenuous with his hood(111 Neighborhood Crip). Rapping like he was a shot caller with this "Don Mega" persona. Cube talked about the streets in his rhymes, but was never from the streets
❤ great explanation 👍
You don't have to be a "Gangbanger" or blood/crip member to be a Gangster in Los Angeles!
" I don't bang, I rock the good ryhmes..the scenery reminded me of good times " ...ICE CUBE...nuff said 😎🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Once upon a time in the projects... 1990
Cube was a gang banger in one movie
Eiht explains it perfectly!
Some of these cats with the fascination of hating on Cube is ridiculous. Cube fam from over there in 111Neighborhood My Cousins and Fam from around the corner St. Andrews - He aint gotta bang he was from there enough said NEXT TOPIC - Garr!
Thank you!
I’m from Connecticut and that “Rhode Island Connecticut” comment got me crying 😂😂😂😂😂
I never saw cube throw up C
Come on now ? Rhode Island Connecticut? 😀😀😀 fam!!!
Ice cube is definitely from NEIGHBORHOOD 111
Yeah, but JD, Shorty(Lench Mob) and more importantly WC "certified" him when it came to Crippin'. And then Kam plugged him with certain Gs like Tha Comrades and B-Dawgs like All From Da I
Cube got family members who gang bangs so that makes him an affiliate not a member
@@elijahstraight402wtf you talking about mane ! Cube not from nowhere..stop it
@@kalipooh3388 Obviously you can't read, I said WC "certified" Cube, meaning Dub vouched for him on strength being from that set. Not saying he's down, but he's an affiliate. Not as a gang member
I think the thing that was missing out of the convo is that claiming a set with a rag doesn't make you a gangster either and you can be with all the --- without claiming a set or color claiming a color is not the beginning or end of gangster
Eiht has a point there. Cube never really claimed to be a banger
He never claimed it but most people thought he WAS bangin because of his lyrics and how he looked. Monster Kody, I remember him having to clear shit up about Cube. He said Cube ain't no gangsta, ain't shot nobody, ain't robbed nobody, ain't been locked up, but niggas think he is because of the shit he be talkin about, which is how the real gangstas were livin. It was just an image thing. I"m glad he wasn't no gangsta because he probably wouldn't have survived long enough to see his first solo album.
