Don’t hate, just do your thing to see if he can be knocked off the block is basically the talk from Ice Cube’s way. Honestly, Ice Cube can’t be knocked off because he is grounded and rooted in the rap game as well as getting ends off of the movie game. There are some that do believe that Ice Cube needs to step aside because they consider him played and too old for the industry now.
On that note, this is what Ice Cube has to say back to those who, as he calls it from his blog, “disrespects” him. Trust that he didn’t hold his tongue. Look out for I Am The West, his next album due for drop in July.
What’s up with these local MC’s in L.A. who keep disrespecting me? They’re just mad cause I don’t f*ck with they wack-*ss. They ain’t on my level, why should I waste my time. I don’t even remember ever meeting these clowns or even being in the same room with any of ‘em. They can’t make a name for themselves so they need help from the O/G’s. I refuse the throw’em a life line. F*ck’em. It ain’t my job to make nobody famous. And for the record, I ain’t scared of no n*^ga. Especially, no rappers….seriously people.
Age-ism in rap? Age-ism is everywhere folks. In the work place, in sports and of course in hip-hop. We are a out with the OLD in with the NEW world. But as we go through life we realize NEWER ain’t always better. We find ourselves saying, “Back in the day, bah, bah, bah….” All young MC’s should route for old MC’s to have long careers. If you play us out, what kind of future do you have in hip-hop when you get 40?
Advice for young rappers: You gotta be hot on your block first, then your city, then your state, then your country, then the world. If you can’t make your block notice you. The world is a tall task.
True that. True that.
