I remember in 89 when Ice-Cube left NWA that shit was crazy, i was a youngsta and NWA was my favorite group and Ice Cube was my favorite emcee. I remember niggas was dissing Ice-Cube, it was either you rode with NWA or you rode with Cube, i was like im supporting them both but when it was said that Cube got a album coming out the whole left was eager. I remember after Easter Vacation in 1990 i saved some money up and went to the mall and copped that album some young dude at the register didn't even trip off my age and it was cool that i lived a block away from the mall. I ran to my boy house, like yeah boy look at here Cube new album, his mouth dropped and asked your mother brought it for you and i was nope got it at the mall and we was discussing rather it will be a NWA album and can cube do it, and we was young niggas having deep hip-hop conversations, we closed the door all sneaky and shit because we know it was some cuss words. We didn't say a peep through out the whole album and after it was done mouths dropped and mind BLOWN. we grapped the boombox radio put the tape in and was walking around the neighborhood blasting AMW all the other kids our age was in awe because we had that album. Older teenagers was coming up to us trying to take my tape, i was like get your own.


this song had Chuck D shook, he thought Cube should change the lyrics when he said "kick the bitch in the tummy"
=relmfu

BUT 1990 wasn't all Sweet for Ice cube because in August that year of 1990, THE WORLD MOST DANGEROUS CREW N.W.A. came back to show hip-hop that THE NIGGAZ IN BLACK aint went nowhere and still is the Kings of Hip-hop and dropped The Now classic EP 100 MILEZ and runnin. Yeah Cube suprised the shit out of everybody but now NWA is have to answer the question. Can MC Ren hold down NWA as the lead vocalist, will Dre step up on the mic to take some of the load. Those questions was answered Dre was now co-leading emcee of the group with Ren, Ren is more vicious on the mic, D.O.C. making Dre sound great and Eazy-E. But the shocker, Dr. Dre came out with a new sound, his production sounds nothing like STOC, Eazy DUZ It or Nobody Can Do It better. NWA was getting at everybody this wasnt the CUBE NWA social politcal this NWA was more aggressive, violent and didnt give a fuck.

oh yeah they was dissing Cube left and right on 3 of the 5 tracks.




100 Miles and Runnin' was the first N.W.A album after Ice Cube had left the group in December 1989, and the group makes numerous sardonic references to its former member. On the title track, Dre states:

"It started with five but yo, one couldn't take it / So now there's four 'cause the fifth couldn't make it".

Therefore dismissing Ice Cube as a coward, and on the song "Real Niggaz" MC Ren states "Only reason niggaz pick up your record is cause they thought it was us", referring to the success of Ice Cube's first solo album AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted which had been released earlier that year. Ice Cube would respond to these attacks on his 1991 album Death Certificate

and NWA 100 MILEZ EP WENT PLAT with out Cube [b]Although the album was released as an EP, it nevertheless hit the charts and sold over 500,000 copies, reaching gold status on November 16, 1990 before reaching platinum certification on September 16, 1992 for over 1 million copies sold.

but the drama didn't stop RUTHLESS RECORDS ABOVE THE LAW wanted some of Cube and the lynch mob

In September 1990, members of hip hop act Above the Law clashed with Ice Cube and his posse Da Lench Mob during the annual New Music Seminar conference, forcing the latter to flee the premises of Times Square's Marriott Marquis, the venue of the event.

I was a big Eazy fan and a friend of mine was a big Ice Cube fan. I thought they had got Cube with Real Niggaz and I was clowning the shit out of him until he lent me Death Certificate and I heard No Vaseline. It was a fuckin wrap. After the first two verses I was like good he ain't really go at Eazy until I heard that third verse. That shit hurt my heart.

Ha, Niggas thought Ether and Hit em up caused a stir, when No Vaseline dropped the whole hip hop community was like Damn, ain't no comin back from that. CUBE really won the purist hearts on the east coast with that diss.

I remember that era. I agree with what you said, but it wasn't like Cube fell off lyrically. He just needed better production. If he stayed tight with Dr Dre in those years (91-94) He could have been the undisputed GOAT. His production was slightly above average and he picked the right singles but having Dre's beats would have made him a monster.

Yeah, he literally ended NWA's career. There was no way to come back from No Vaseline thus making it the all time greatest diss record.
