[MR.CJ]

so will i am sold out???

 

[musicology1985]

yeah it's been like this for a while in socal. hopefully it changes sometime this decade. thanks for posting that early bep and cube's right about the overlooked diversity and how it's always been like that, but I can't understand why he refers to LA as "they" instead of "we," because he helped make the region famous and he's definitely included.

Will I Am started out on Ruthless records way back in the day...

he was known as will 1x back then, smh @ some of yall not knowing this

 

[blackrain]

so will i am sold out???

i would say most would agree that BEP fits up there with certain people who sold out

 

[J-GUTTA]

Ya'll suppose to be students of Hip Hop and don't know ya'll history..smh.

Will.I.Am (and the Black Eyed Peas as a group) was on Ruthless Record waaaay before the commercialized shit you know them for now.

I believe their 1st name was Atban clan too.

 

[I'm THAT guy...]

[blackgotty]

guess when the white girl joined it all went downhill

Nobody was supporting their music and they decided to change their style , i dont blame them

They didnt copy anyone,they went to the lab and came out new

That white girl came for a reason

 

[jonlakadeadmic]

[Trollio]

[lamontbdc]

Ice Cube wasn't dumb and didn't back down to white men, so more power to him and a lot of white people were fearing of him. When he found out what Jerry Heller and Eazy-E did to him and NWA but Ice Cube wasn't dumb. No Vaseline have spoken for itself.

NWA - Chin Check feat: Snoop Dogg

Cube - "So fuck Jerry Heller and the white superpowers".

I am sure a lot of white people are fearing of him.

Ice Cube is that nigga.

 

[darkrain]

Never mind..double post

 

[ChuckieInDaMurderAve]

Jerry got totally no vaseline'd with that song. Ice Cube went all out against the powers that be and that's why he's a top 3 legend.

 

[soul rattler]

I applaud this thread because there are those that would deny the racial and ethnic influence in the industry. It is an absolutely unexplainable phenomenon that Ice Cube still has a comfortable career. Need I mention "Cave Bitch"? Kanye was temporarily blackballed for so much less.

Ice Cube is definitely a legend in every sense of the word.

 

[MC The Rapper]

the only rapper to never sell out and did whatever the fuck he wanted regardless greatest rapper ever in my book. did his thing on the business and art side.

 

[Calii Comfort]

no vaseline one of the best diss exposed the hell out of NWA
