True but it just seems like they can’t let Kendrick shine without people trying to attached themselves to it , cry about his achievements like Wayne ,Nicki mase and others. I’m sure Kendrick doesn’t care, but damn .
He's just asking about the lyric bro not the deep. People always like to get explanations for lyrics to find the meaning. Thats why programs like Genius exist. Obviously not a diss. More of a shoutout
Trust me! Real dot fans got no smoke with cube. He’s a legend! We fw cube heavy. Also ngl. What he said was true🤣. Don’t let them family friendly movies fool yall! It’s fire in that pen. Lethal Injection and Americas most wanted are west coast classics.
I mean he’s kinda right. He had some really radical takes on his first 3 albums. Obviously sonically they sound much different from each other but I think they’re coming from that same place of thought.
Lnfao it’s so funny because to anybody old enough or who just knows hip hop..this isn’t a wild statement at all. Cube’s first three were on that type of time. He invented the term Amerikkka. That tells you what he was on
Great question! I do wish Kev turned down the fandom a little bit. You can go a lot of places with Cube and I feel we could’ve gotten a significant amount more outta Cube if Kev was more analytical then excited. Still a good pod nonetheless
@@vcvortex6356 not everybody is a teenager or early 20s kid lol... theres a lot more people who are 30s+ who still bump Nas. I'm not even a Nas fan but I got a handful of his joints on my streaming playlist.
Ok. I'm an older hip hop head, so I'm gonna say it. I believe Cube was intending to be a lil "salty" with that bar. I really don't think it was necessary because the track and Cube speak for themselves. Also, KDot has already gone out of his way to pay homage to the west coast OG's. Just sayin....
Not at all. Kendrick is unique to Kendrick. Ice Cube went a whole far-right direction even with the “pimp” image thing… honestly No thanks. No comparison.
Ice Cube is honestly better in his prime than Kendrick. Pound for pound, Cube launched NWA, made a top 5 diss track against a whole group and broke them up, partnered with Public Enemy, made hit songs with PAC and Scarface, and has classic albums and tracks (Good Day). If Cube had gang affiliations, he would be considered the King of the west coast.
@@amillionbeats1 because most of these youngsters wasn't even born yet & going off of you tube & the internet! All these youngsters are internet babies! To say cube is jealous& hating of kendrick, with the money & success cube has earned is straight DUMMY shit! Cube had millions before kendrick was born GTFOH
Cube is Unsung. La didnt invent street rap, gangsta rap. New york invented it by way of Schooly D and a few others. However, Ice T and NWA put it on the map. In the early days of NWA, Cube wrote the majority of the verses, songs for the group. He is a Trailblazer. Kendrick should feeled honored to be in the same conversation with Cube.
Get what he means. But it's not the same. Kendrick does everything incredibly different than Cube did. Cube was not as positive and as much against gang violence. It's not the same. Cube was Cube. Kendrick is Kendrick. There's never been anyone like Kendrick or Cube.
IDC what the sentiment is with the line I was Kendrick before Kendrick. Aside being from the West Coast I am hard pressed to draw ✍️ any similarities between these two artists.. And if Ice Cube likens himself to Kendrick but Kendrick likens himself to Tupac then does that mean Ice Cube is akin to Tupac? Not likely ..Otherwise Kendrick would just liken himself to Ice Cube. IJS
??? Did you even watch the video? Ice Cube clearly explains he was paying homage to what Kdot has done for the hip-hop community, by comparing his own legendary career with his. If someone else does it, surely it's just a casual thing, but it means a lot to come from a rapper themself, especially Ice Cube. How many oldheads do you see showing love to much newer artists today? You gotta respect the moment and move on instead of trying to talk down shit and make no sense
Pac was Kendrick before Kendrick they don't give pic his love because they all was scared of pac because he was coming for all of them even jealous cube he was dissed by pac also
He was writing everybody lyrics and he wasn't getting paid right so he left they got mad because he left and diss him so he made it this song no Vaseline
One thing that I always hated about Cube was his Ego.. He’s stolen songs and concepts from other artists and has convenient amnesia.. He came up with Street Knowledge because he was a huge fan of Public Enemy.. So much of a fan that he came to New York,fake converted to the Nation of ISLAM and had Public Enemy’s production team The Bomb Squad produce his album That’s when KAM shaved his Jherri Curls off Notice how he didn’t mention that though
Im you and you are another me! It's we're all one in consciousness but manifesting in different bodies, it's all about versions and other people are a reflection of you, its mirroring aspects. Quote unquote l was Kendrick before Kendrick. I'm gone be Kendrick after Kendrick. Lmao
Ice cube been hating on 2pac and Kendrick cause he ain't ever reached the success they achieved he better go back to acting and making another "are we there yet movie?"lol

@@nkosinathigasa1312 No lies. Just judging by different criteria. Yeah, he’s a better writer, understands melody and has more flows, definitely. But the game evolved. I judge by the era and what they had to work with.
I don't understand why everyone wants to compare and rank rappers. Ice Cube himself explicitly states he was paying homage to what Kendrick has done for the hip-hop community. I don't get why people on the internet need to sit down and judge these rappers when they clearly respect each other equally.
Ice cube gives himself more compliments than other well let me give him one if he was from Ny there would be 50 rappers better than him he’s 🗑️ compared to real lyricists he’s got that 1983 robotic ass flow
tf is wrong with these bot-like comments? Cube himself states he wanted to pay homage to what Kdot has been doing for the hip-hop community. Why do you guys have to hop online and hate on both of them?
@@SubRaiderhe just seems like a grumpy old man that always feels the need to say “I did this first” or demand respect, which is the case with a lot of 90s rappers. Which is even more annoying since the culture already respects him and reveres him as a legend. We already know he’s the original Kendrick Lamar, he didn’t have to come out on this show and tell everybody that. So it just comes off as hater-ish. A real legend wouldn’t feel the need to say “I came first” because they already know they came first. So it Just looks insecure on ice cubes part. I still give him the respect he deserves, Kendrick is definitely more within the lane of Cube rather than Pac
A lot of you people did not watch the video, Cube shouted out Kendrick. I'm starting to believe you people are either children or bots.
im confused too. cube definitely paved the way for kendrick and there's nothing wrong with saying that
A lot of these people are kids because the fact that trynna fight what Cube is saying…they just don’t know
@@shannonharris5173 little bad ASS kids,
@King4oe Nah they not kids, they definitely are bot
It's definitely bots
I mean, Kendrick did say in his NWA hall of speech that Cube's Death Certificate was the inspiration behind GKMC
Plus on maad city he sampled ice cube song “a bird in the hand” off of death certificate on the 2nd half of the song
@@majhislifeI thought so i remember hearing it and hearing someone say that

Salute to Kendrick man. 7 Grammy nominations without an album, headlining Superbowl LIX, and NLU breaking all kinds of records. 🫡🏆
I'd listen to a Cube Podcast
Kendrick got the industry trippin
Anyone who needed to watch the video to understand what he meant…….. happy 12th birthday to you. 😂
I see what you did lol
Lnfao it’s so funny because to anybody old enough or who just knows hip hop..this isn’t a wild statement at all. Cube’s first three were on that type of time. He invented the term Amerikkka. That tells you what he was on

This is crazy Ice Cube dropping before Snoop Dogg! Crazy!
Thanksgiving time Ice Cube dropping!
Everyone crying saying people are crying over the bar when i havent seen one person upset over it
ice cube hot a song called Not Like Them on his next album 🤔🤔 cube on my top 5🐐

Yeah the cube hate is crazy, he one of the pioneers of the game too, they need to put some respect on his name.
I wonder who that would make Drake's predecessor. Not to mention Common's style is similar enough to Cole 😅

🧐No, Ice Cube is not like Kendrick. Ice Cube was beefing with his own group. Basically battling with people from his own area.
that dissed him first so it was warranted
cube was literally minding his business til they got jealous an dissed him for zero reason
He was writing everybody lyrics and he wasn't getting paid right so he left they got mad because he left and diss him so he made it this song no Vaseline
