LOL it does. Yall so fake on this site. If this was about Lil Wayne we d be calling him a fake Blood. But now it has nothing to do with being gangster? Stop it you out of town clowns. LOL.
I always thought of Cube as being just like his character Craig from Friday..just a regular, working class cat from a decent family who tries to avoid drama but will handle his shit when needed.
Cube from the hood he talk bout shit that went on in his hood they respected cube and he showed them that he wasn't a punk just because you from the hood don't mean u have to be a gangsta
MEXICAN INVASION that’s what he is saying though, cube showed that you can grow up tuff but not be what everybody else considered “gangsta”. He showed that you can grow up in a ruff place but still keep your head on straight and not look like a bitch as a black man.
UKnoIKillMyBioHazIt but he grew up in 80s south central LA, literally right next to crenshaw. I’m sorry but it’s bullshit to think his neighborhood wasn’t effected by 1980s LA. Ask his deceased half sister.
Dan EL yeah but you don’t hear stories on Ice Cube putting in ANY kind of work , i mean he was in college while he was in NWA , and anytime someone question his “gangsta” ppl either don’t answer , or always say he was a good kid who didn’t get in trouble , he’s a hell of an ACTOR i like his movies , always keep that in mind.
Her brother walked in he's into gangbangin cause he walked up and said "what set you claimin" I don't bang I write the good rhymes "Once Upon a Time in the Projects" 1990
@Khalid Garvey X Mack10 was with the shit tho, apparently Common almost lost his life over that Cube beef when Mack10 showed up. Based on that comment i can tell you never been around some real Samoans in the hood 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was so hyped about this interview but Vlad didn't ask Mack 10 nothing about Mack 10 so disappointed... wasted Mack 10's time....Mack is a LEGEND give this man some SOME RESPECT INTERVIEW HIM AND ASK ABOUT HIM AND WHATS GOIN ON WITH HIM
And that's Gangsta! Kuzz all in all even though their not on speaking terms , if Cube kept it solid with Mack 10 then it isn't no reason for Mack to hate. And Katz need to stop thinking that if you didn't gang bang then you're not a real one.
Craig Smith facts he did 60’s to be in fact but they are right he never banged he put on for his hood similar to snoop but snoop got lost in it at some point and thought he was tripple Og
Lamar Shakur that part. Cube never said he banged. Alonzo sounds like a bitter hater to me. He mad everyone broke out and made it big. They didn't have to wear those fruity ass vests lol.
Right. Cube did grow up in that environment, and rapped about what he saw first hand. That's why everybody from that environment bought his music. He knew what he was talking about.
Yeah it's all well and good until you have to prove your gangsta. Pac wasn't a gang member, but he wasn't afraid to fuck you up or shoot you either. To each is own, but if you talk that shit you better be able to defend yourself if need be. A lot of these new rappers are safe bangers. Only bang in the studio
@@crazyxvatox562 I use to think being creative was off brand,till I realized whose box,we were living in...our stupidity filling up there prisons and coffins ..guess we they brand ... think outside the box....
If you really listen to his music you understand that he never misrepresented himself as something he was not. He was always very consistent when he said he was telling stories about his and the cities environment. Cube is a legend and rightly so.
Discredit him? Hes telling the truth. Cube has been living in Hollywood for years writing about being a Don😂😂😂 Eazy said he wasnt a gangster, Cypress Hill said he wasnt a gangster...the guy never had a parking ticket.
Just for the record, you can be gangsta, and not be "in a gang''...🙄. I know plenty of street dudes who put in work, and never claimed affiliation to anything or one, but themselves.
Corporal Turner yeah facts dude was just quiet never claimed to be crip or blood just a dude who live in south central LA tryna to make it out with music and willing to protect him self at all cost
Very true. New Jack, Big Herc, etc. All did gang-LIKE activity...but were never in an actual gang. In fact, Big Herc wasn't affiliated with anyone even in all his years in prison. Anyway, not defending that "worK' they did...but just saying they weren't gangbangers.
reggie3604 in all actuality ...it’s been both claims ..that he was just affiliated then it’s been some who say he was ...just like the Tupac MoB shit some say he was ..Some say he wasn’t

Nobody did music like that back then so I get where Vlad is coming from. But as a grown man it's obvious cube was just rapping about things in the neighborhood and putting a little extra on it! Entertainment sells.
Ice Cube had to have turned Vlad down for an interview year's ago because Vlad has continued to ask this question for a while where now it's an obsession. He doesn't ask about everyone else. Even the rapper's who claim to be more gangsta than Ice Cube

People have to get out of this mindset that being in a gang automatically makes u tuff and not being in one doesn't mean you can't kill , Logic is lost in perspective. gangsta is a mindset , not necessarily a color or a set..being in one means you have certain level of recognition , not being in one doesn't mean u are incapable of killing or defending yourself lethally

Im from South Central LA...I never gangbanged, went to college, BUT dont get it twisted I know killas/goons and can move around my neighborhood without issue. Cube has clout in the hood, he was speaking for the voiceless.
Did Cube ever claim a set? Don't ever remember him saying anything. Even in WC albums he'd always have a black rag. Never red or blue. He's definitely from the streets though.
Exactly Cube always wore a black rag not red or blue and I'm Cube fan i never heard him claim anything I mean I've gave a shout out to the b's and c's but never claimed
Bottom line is this: You don’t have to be from a “ Set” to be from the hood... if U grew up on the block but didn’t get “ put on” that’s ok, You we’re still in the hood.
Ice cube was basically a street reporter. Just spoke facts & told stories about the hood on his records He just happened to use his own name while dropping that street knowledge…. You could say it’s similar to an actor playing a “gangster” or whatever role they got
Ice Cube never claimed to gangbang. He never claimed to have gone to the pen either. He's said that in different songs. He just write's stories extremely well! Dude is a lyricist and a great story teller, that's it... And shoutout to Mack 10 for not throwing Cube under the bus despite everything! Mack 10 a real one!!
I wouldn’t assume he writes stories really well, you would have to live in the scene to understand it and be able to write and portray the picture so simply & well like Ice Cube does- so I wouldn’t say he’s just a lyricist. I’d say he lived the life and made it out taking the proper steps to be a productive member of society, and didn’t fall for the bs on the streets and what the gang life really brings.
@@TheBuddahLoc now you are talking about being a gang member, and we can all agree Cube wasn't one. What Vlad was referencing, was Cube portrayal of a gangsta image through all of his career, impersonating a high rolling shot caller, talking about using AK's, being always strapped, selling dope, slapping bitches, wearing khaki suits, rolling around in a low rider and being respected by everyone. THAT'S what Vlad was pointing at, and Cube might not claimed a hood, but he very much did claimed he was a gangsta. That's why your original comments just sounds wrong to me.
Robert James Taylor Cube rapped what he saw. He rapped about what he grew up in. He was a story teller. Just like Nas, and all them other niccas. Everybody knows Nas wasn’t no street dude, even though he rapped about dope dealin and shit he never did. He was a story teller, rappin about what he saw. So vlad is wrong.
Vlad is one of those guys that u tolerate for certain reasons, to a certain extent, and when he says or does goofy shit you dont take him serious. You just shrug it off, cause you understand that he is a square. But you tax him in a way. Vlad is the guy that would have to pay the homies for acceptance. Dont be like Vlad.
I like how he answers the question. All these other cats need to take note. Vlad asked him a leading question and he still didn’t throw dirt on ice cubes name.
B-Eazy then vlad tried to exclude him and WC from that list which would imply that ice cube fall in category of fake rapper and he still came out flawless.
slightly disagree, yes to this particular ice cube question but freeway ricky ross, kevin childs , big try dee and other gangsters talked about their lives and statue of limitations and to teach folks not to follow that path.
What vlad doesn't understand is that when you come from the hood, you don't have to be a gang member or a gangster to have experienced or been through some of the same shit!
It's funny how Vlad is so fixated on proving Cube isn't a gangster when he isn't either and is just trying to mix in with everybody else. He'll probably say he isn't trying to be one but yet he still glorifies everything and will just use the excuse of ''I'm trying to teach kids this is wrong.''...yeah right. It's all for views and his pockets.
Cube is a studio gangsta. He knows what sells and played that roll. To deny he wasn’t trying to make ppl think he was a gangsta is ignorant. Cube=studio gangsta . Get over it
michael stewart he capitalized on gang culture portraying to be gangsta. He’s not in any gang. That’s the definition of a studio gangsta. You just find this out?? You need a tissue? Here’s a banana 🍌 drink some milk with it lil kid 🤣🤣🤣
It’s sad that this is actually what people got out of Ice Cube’s music. That he was perpetrating a roll. Cube was merely trying to articulate his surroundings through third and first person perspectives.
truthtdp really? Or was he capitalizing on his surroundings? I can literally quote several times him talking about being a gangsta. The whole westside connection album was faulty. He saw beef between East and west coast and capitalized on that shit
@@michaelstewart4280 ofc the only cornball whos vouching for him is a pussy who censors the word ''fuck'' on the internet, chill the cops wont arrest you for it
Cube a gangster on his business. I respect him for being smart in business. Not a dumb fool gangster getting shot and prison. Cube a gangster just not a ignorant one
Eminem rapped about killing his wife and raping lesbians. Doesn’t mean he actually does what he raps about. Rap is just painting pictures with words. Which is why they are labeled “hip hop ARTISTS”
Doesn't mean cube wasn't affiliated with bangers,and sometimes that can be worse because of cubes talent with words and acting he can manipulate others to do work or dirt for him if need be. It's clear cube grew up around scc and bangers, but was smart enough to stick to the scrip of rap and the music.
Mack 10 And WC were actually gangsters according to there resume while Cube was not but he was affiliated with them even from very early on before his career took off yeah.
I never took ice cube as a gangsta. I just took him as a no non sense type of guy.
I agree
@CStarz I bet you never lost a fight in your life.
CStarz If that did happened, no nonsense don’t mean he can’t get beat up. 🤷🏾♂️

Im from South Central LA...I never gangbanged, went to college, BUT dont get it twisted I know killas/goons and can move around my neighborhood without issue. Cube has clout in the hood, he was speaking for the voiceless.
PREACH💯
Thank you for your perspective Mr Lawson!
@GuildBankLooter This. He wasn't speaking for anybody but himself and making an image haha
And that's the real. The REAL gangstas don't pull the trigger they got goons for that.
@GuildBankLooter How could you call Cube a bitch? He was never punked by anyone.
Alonzo Williams @ 0:25 looks like "Big Smoke" from GTA San Andreas 🔍🧐🤔
We all knew that Vlad. Everybody knew Cube wasn't a gangsta. Easy and Ren were the real gangstas.
@yOGlo brraappp!!! I believed mc ren the most.
MC Ren was a gangster. Yella was in the same shoes as Cube.
Did Cube ever claim a set? Don't ever remember him saying anything. Even in WC albums he'd always have a black rag. Never red or blue. He's definitely from the streets though.
Exactly Cube always wore a black rag not red or blue and I'm Cube fan i never heard him claim anything I mean I've gave a shout out to the b's and c's but never claimed
Black is a blood color. Cube brought up Neighborhood 111 in the bootleg and B sides album but that was pretty much it.
Fat Vegan black is a neutral color that’s like saying white is a blood color.
santanas block crips in compton and hat gang crips in watts both wear black rags
Cube grew up in the area of Crips but he never joined.
Its friends and its respect. Shoutout to Mack for being solid💯
He admitted it too in a round about way so what u mean ? Lol
Don't give vlad no more than he can chew if you no what I mean
They not even homies anymore foo
Even the NWA film portrayed him as a normal guy he was never banging. Swear he would even admit that
Bottom line is this: You don’t have to be from a “ Set” to be from the hood... if U grew up on the block but didn’t get “ put on” that’s ok, You we’re still in the hood.
Ice cube was basically a street reporter. Just spoke facts & told stories about the hood on his records
He just happened to use his own name while dropping that street knowledge…. You could say it’s similar to an actor playing a “gangster” or whatever role they got
That’s exactly what wack said
Mack 10 should be a regular guest
Nah just like Warren Sapp, he knows not to fall for Vlads clickbait and shit.
Ice Cube never claimed to gangbang. He never claimed to have gone to the pen either. He's said that in different songs. He just write's stories extremely well! Dude is a lyricist and a great story teller, that's it... And shoutout to Mack 10 for not throwing Cube under the bus despite everything! Mack 10 a real one!!
Yep people forget that he says "I don't bang, I write the good rhymes" in once upon a time in the project's
I wouldn’t assume he writes stories really well, you would have to live in the scene to understand it and be able to write and portray the picture so simply & well like Ice Cube does- so I wouldn’t say he’s just a lyricist. I’d say he lived the life and made it out taking the proper steps to be a productive member of society, and didn’t fall for the bs on the streets and what the gang life really brings.
Exactly and besides he's more gang affiliated than 99% of the world he grew up around Crips and bloods
Except for the fact he c walks all over the place at his concerts
Why are non-gangstas so obsessed with other men being gangsta or not
GldStandrd Exactly especially police ass Vlad 🤦🏽♂️
Mack 10 A Friend We All Need In Life Cuz .. Real Talk
Is it me or does Alonzo look like a real life Big Smoke from gta?? 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mack answers questions like he’s in a deposition
You don't even know what that is, SU
Isidro salas hA, You have no idea what I’ve been through in my life. But carry-on
Fa sho! He slips a lot of questions!
Got to 😼
Nikki St. Clair ..As He/You/Me/EVERYONE should during a VLAD Interview 🤣😂🤣😂
Cube always struck me as a street politician..the way he talked about the system
Mack does respond to Vlad's question. He just didn't respond the way Vlad the Instigator would've liked!
Bet you wouldn't test his "Gangster" though.
Cube wouldn't do shit. He's an actor and you fell for his act. 🤣🤣
@@nmor30 you wouldn’t test his gangsta tho. And if you would I’m pretty sure you would be upset at the result.
That was wise of Mack10 to put it that way, if he has even the slightest hope of a reunion with Cube.
Growing up in a infested gang culture and surviving you’re more Gangsta than the average
Man hell naw
And the obsession continues
Mack 10 is what you called a “Real One”
Saint Michael The Sin-Ful bro Super Solid!
"Especially since I own the rights." Yeeeeaah 🔥
Cube never claimed to be a gangsta. So vlad is trippin again.
Exactly! He told the story of the hood and voiced the frustration of many angry black men in America dealing with systematic racism
were you even listening to his songs or are you deaf by any chance?
Robert James Taylor he never claimed no Hood in his songs you dummy.
@@TheBuddahLoc now you are talking about being a gang member, and we can all agree Cube wasn't one. What Vlad was referencing, was Cube portrayal of a gangsta image through all of his career, impersonating a high rolling shot caller, talking about using AK's, being always strapped, selling dope, slapping bitches, wearing khaki suits, rolling around in a low rider and being respected by everyone. THAT'S what Vlad was pointing at, and Cube might not claimed a hood, but he very much did claimed he was a gangsta. That's why your original comments just sounds wrong to me.
Robert James Taylor Cube rapped what he saw. He rapped about what he grew up in. He was a story teller. Just like Nas, and all them other niccas. Everybody knows Nas wasn’t no street dude, even though he rapped about dope dealin and shit he never did. He was a story teller, rappin about what he saw. So vlad is wrong.
Vlad is one of those guys that u tolerate for certain reasons, to a certain extent, and when he says or does goofy shit you dont take him serious. You just shrug it off, cause you understand that he is a square. But you tax him in a way. Vlad is the guy that would have to pay the homies for acceptance. Dont be like Vlad.
💯💯💯
😂 U ain't neva lied homie 💯
100
He’s the definition of a wannabe chump . At his age he’s still confused on who he is and is still trying to fit in to be cool .
Vlad is so square you posting comments on his youtube video. Real L-7 weenie that guy. 360°
RIP FRED THE GODSON
Facts🙏🏾
C- SHARP Majorly. One of the rawest rappers and coolest dudes. Never be forgotten in my book
He passed?
What the fuck?!
Kings County hes gone yo sad shit
Ice cube never said he banged. He talked about what went on in his hood
Like gangsta gangsta?
@@TemporaryInsane he's not a banger he's not from any blood or crip set he jus lived in the hood and even went to skool wit the rich kids😂
Nines u can be gangster and not be in a gang
You feel me
He never ever said he was gangster but a reporter of what’s happening in his hood
Fucked ME UP!!! 😂😂😂😂 I was weak wen he said that shit lol
Mack 10 too smart to be snitching on himself 😂 on Vlad
I like how he answers the question. All these other cats need to take note. Vlad asked him a leading question and he still didn’t throw dirt on ice cubes name.
B-Eazy then vlad tried to exclude him and WC from that list which would imply that ice cube fall in category of fake rapper and he still came out flawless.
slightly disagree, yes to this particular ice cube question but freeway ricky ross, kevin childs , big try dee and other gangsters talked about their lives and statue of limitations and to teach folks not to follow that path.
wapminnin99 what are you disagreeing with? I’m confused
Facts
Cube is a underground reporter eazy even said they were.
Lac Jones Eazy was trappin
@@Johndoe-kw5zr i wasn't there so I'm not gonnw sit here n act like i knew what they ass
Ice cube probably like me … head on straight , but angry and full of that ghetto rage just waiting to be unleashed on a fool
Just cuz you dint get cought up putting in work don’t mean you gangster . The object is to not get cought
Lonzo mad that Cube made “Pinky” on Next Friday after Lonzo!
He walked into Priority records with a bat and busted a bunch of shit up cause they owed him money so that sounds pretty gangsta to me.
But to be fair, it was probably some white execs. When Above The Law got in his ass he didnt do shit tho
@@Betoven81 and when cypress hill beef popped off he peace treaty it
I knew it was a matter of time for Vlad to ask this question, he was salivating for this....
We often confuse being "gangsta" with being "hood"lum... when you experience enough life, you realize the real gangstas wear suits and not rags.
Ice cube was never a gangsta or gangbanged before,but he has good acting skills
What vlad doesn't understand is that when you come from the hood, you don't have to be a gang member or a gangster to have experienced or been through some of the same shit!
I remember specifically on Cube's first album he SAID I don't bang I write the good rhyme. So whats the hate 4?
Paul Applies Pressure ✅
Cube said he was West Side Rollin in a song...
Dominic C false
@lordjoyous You OBVIOUSLY have access to the internet, so look it up for yourself before you say silly shit...
🗣Mack10🙌🏽Solid 🙌🏽
LOL there is no Ice Cube gangster background. He's a studio gangster.
Gotta remember ice cube came up in the ghetto so he’s got gangster in him u can’t say he’s not gangster at all
VLAD always does this 🤦🏾♂️
This is a Mack 10 interview stop asking questions about Cube
It's funny how Vlad is so fixated on proving Cube isn't a gangster when he isn't either and is just trying to mix in with everybody else. He'll probably say he isn't trying to be one but yet he still glorifies everything and will just use the excuse of ''I'm trying to teach kids this is wrong.''...yeah right. It's all for views and his pockets.
Hip hop is art, though. It's based on reality. A lot of people get confused because these artists tell stories in the first person perspective.
HipHopR&BLover Jon please don’t say that ever again!
Cube is a studio gangsta. He knows what sells and played that roll. To deny he wasn’t trying to make ppl think he was a gangsta is ignorant. Cube=studio gangsta . Get over it
michael stewart he capitalized on gang culture portraying to be gangsta. He’s not in any gang. That’s the definition of a studio gangsta. You just find this out?? You need a tissue? Here’s a banana 🍌 drink some milk with it lil kid 🤣🤣🤣
It’s sad that this is actually what people got out of Ice Cube’s music. That he was perpetrating a roll. Cube was merely trying to articulate his surroundings through third and first person perspectives.
truthtdp really? Or was he capitalizing on his surroundings? I can literally quote several times him talking about being a gangsta. The whole westside connection album was faulty. He saw beef between East and west coast and capitalized on that shit
michael stewart oh yeah! Did you finish your banana and milk? 🤣🤣🤣
@@michaelstewart4280 ofc the only cornball whos vouching for him is a pussy who censors the word ''fuck'' on the internet, chill the cops wont arrest you for it
Cube a gangster on his business. I respect him for being smart in business. Not a dumb fool gangster getting shot and prison. Cube a gangster just not a ignorant one
Mack hasnt responded much to any of your questions.
Real Talk
@C Hardin Word
Every episode this interview gets more cringe 😂
Vlad tried to justify the question by throwing in Alonzo's early involvement.
What about “AK-47 is the mfing tool.” “I got a sawed off, bodies get hauled off.” He was talking gangsta thats 4 sure
Eminem rapped about killing his wife and raping lesbians. Doesn’t mean he actually does what he raps about. Rap is just painting pictures with words. Which is why they are labeled “hip hop ARTISTS”
@@lyricalstyles yeah but Eminem actually pistol whipped people and would fight ice kinda seems like a poser
Cube is just a stand up dude. You don't have to be a gangsta to be a real one 💯
He even said it once upon a time “ I don’t bang I write the good rhymes “ if I’m not mistaken
Rock the good rhymes
Jared Sam I knew it was one of the two
But he also claims in his lyrics that hes not a "faker" and kills hoes and caps people. Ala "N***a you love to hate"
Lmao he was Crip walking on stage a few years back tho
Ice Cube will tell you he never been a gangster so stop trying to start something
Ice Cube specifically said he was Westside Rollin in a song a few years back. Cube also used to claim he was affiliated in interviews in the 90s.
It's funny to me because I never thought of Cube being this gangster even as a little kid listening to NWA. I just liked what he said
"I DON'T BANG I KICK THE GOOD RHYMES"-ICE CUBE
START LISTENING TO THE MUSIC 🤦🏾♂️
Doesn't mean cube wasn't affiliated with bangers,and sometimes that can be worse because of cubes talent with words and acting he can manipulate others to do work or dirt for him if need be. It's clear cube grew up around scc and bangers, but was smart enough to stick to the scrip of rap and the music.
video starts:
vlad: dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue
mack 10: umm
vlad: dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue
mack 10: umm, yeah, uh huh.
vlad: dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue
video ends :
😂😂😂
you just described every vlad interview with the only accuracy hahaha
who told you the video ended ? - mack 10
Half of this clip is a flash back. The whole Mack 10 interview gonna be 30 minutes total.
I’ve never heard anybody pronounce it “dub you C”
Jose Rios lame ass Lmao
Jose Rios It was pronounced “double u c” in his days with his first group Low Profile and the Maad Circle. He became ’Dub C’ later.
I was like tf?
Double you C was his name at first. He started going by Dub C later
Huh... I've almost only heard him pronounced dub c
Mack 10 And WC were actually gangsters according to there resume while Cube was not but he was affiliated with them even from very early on before his career took off yeah.
Vlad you know damn well Cube said that he was reporting what he was seeing in L.A......
