No. Nobody responded because they couldn’t. Dre threw some jabs on the Chronic but him and Cube squashed it shortly after. IMO this is the greatest diss track ever. Here’s why, Cube helped form NWA, wrote a lot of material to build up arguably the greatest hip hop group of all time. He destroyed them and made them break the group up. Maybe not the best lyrically but when I think of greatest diss records, it’s what it did to its intended target. This and Ether are the best to me. Check out Ice Cube - True to the Game
No Vasaline and Ether are really great, but you should also give a listen to Paper Plates by GZA (50Cent diss). In my opinion, that is the greatest diss track ever ✌
He wasn't calling any of them gay per se, it's more so 'this dude (the manager) is screwing y'all over'. You saw in the movie, Ice Cube refused to sign the contract because he knew it was something shady about it....
yep, it's all just a metaphor for how they're all getting 'screwed' in a business sense. "with no vaseline" meaning they're doing it to you in the worst way.
Im a bit sad that you haven't noticed how hard were Ice Cube's bars. About the Arnold bar, Dre called Cube "Benedict Arnold" (the american traitor) and how Cube reversed it like "Calling me Arnold but you been-a-dick" (benedict)
theres like 3 different meanings to that line too. Been a dick, like he's calling dre an asshole. Benedict like benedict arnold, and bent-a-dick cus he's calling dre gay.
Before NWA, there was "World Class Wreckin Crew" that's what Cube meant by Dre and Yella wearing lip gloss and stuff. They had the legendary track with Michel Le called "Turn Off The Lights" It was a TOTALLY different time period back then. Cube was basically saying that everybody in NWA was getting screwed/sodomized financially/creatively by their manager/record label owner.....with NO vaseline, lol.
The greatest Hip Hop diss EVER. Cube was the ONLY MC to take out an entire crew at the height of their popularity. Not 2mention nobody, I mean NOBODY wanted any smoke wit N.W.A. who was thought of as raps most dangerous group.
Necro of the century but have a listen to mf grimm’s book of Daniel, he goes HARD on mf doom and it’s probably the most personal and painful diss track I’ve ever heard. That might just be the doom fan bias tho 💀
Dre did wear makeup on an album cover back when he was with World Class Wrecking Cru. Had his hair slicked back too. Oh and Yella did an interview with DJ Vlad and said they all knew they lost to Cube.
Yella said that when he heard this he knew Cube won the beef. There was no responding to this. There's actually really funny scene in the movie Straight Outta Compton where NWA and Jerry Heller listen to this song for the first time.
Steady Mobbin is a good one. So is my summer vacation. I’m biased though because death certificate is my favorite album lol. There’s also givin up the nappy dugout
What he meant by the lipstick and lace comment was Dre got his start in a Dance Rap band called The World Class Wreckin Crew. You can find their videos on here.
The song is a metaphor. He basically saying the whole group got screwed by Jerry Heller and Eazy E. Cube was the only one who didn’t sign a contract. The rest of them signed while Cube had his lawyer look at it. Contract was shady so he didn’t sign. When he approached Jerry and Eazy about it and asking for his money, he got denied so he left the group. When he left, NWA dissed him on a interlude called B.A. (Benedict Arnold)….which is why Cube said in No Vaseline “Calling me Arnold but you been a d!ck…” and they dissed him on a song called Real Niggaz. So Cube basically said “look niggas, y’all talking greasy about me for leaving but check your contracts, y’all goofy mofos is getting screwed, with no vaseline!” The song was scathing enough to make Dre actually look into his contract. He found that Cube was telling the truth so he and Eazy fell out and Dre left and started Deathrow. Ren stayed. Yella left and became a porn director. And NWA was finished.
Despite what the onscreen lyrics say, the real lyric is "bent-a-dick"... Was slang for getting forcefully f'd in the ass with no lube, so much so that the d bends.
Also, Dre and Yella were in a group before NWA called “World Class Wreckin Crew” they made a lot of funk and ballad records. They wasn’t rapping. They used to wear lacy, feminine clothing, kinda looking like some Prince knock-offs.
Great reaction. This is the gold standard for a diss track. Many would put Tupac's Hit Em Up above No Vaseline, and I can't hate on that, but I think this is a better diss while Hit Em Up is a better song.
New subscriber here. Loved your reaction. This ish is a classic!! Cube is rough! Frfr! 😳🤣 Ice Cube’s single-> “Everythang’s Corrupt” off that album is dope. ✌🏼
Its so much better when you understand the lyrics so N.W.A.’s album was 100 miles and running so Ice cube said you run 100 miles but you still get one to go with the LENCHMOB because Cube new crew was the Lench mob, Then he said now I got to do the silence of the lambs well that was a movie about a serial killer who was also a cannibal, So cute was basically saying I’m a murder them, Then he was talking about an old TV mini series in the 70s Rooots, about skavery , called him kunta Kintay and then said he got a whip for you Toby because they was whipping Kunta Kintay until he said that his name was Toby, Then he said and she ran I remember when you drove B210, That was a Datsun B210 car just an old cheap ass car from early 80s
For some more Cube/NWA you should check out "The D.O.C. - The Grand Finale feat. N.W.A." all of NWA is on it, back before things got bad enough for Cube to write this diss lmao.
True indeed. They started it. He refrained from even mentioning them in his whole first album. Then they got the bright idea to dis Cube. That’s why the opening line is, “Got damn I’m glad y’all set it off!” Check out #aquick10withcoachandcals Top 10 Dis Songs!
Well Dr dre threw a couple Jabs at him on the chronic the song nuthin but a good thang he said mobbing like a mother****** but I ain't lynching and dre day on the third verse when him and snoop dogg said then we gonna go to creep through South central on a street knowledge mission as I step in the temple spot him shot him pull my strap on his white Sox hat try to check my homie you must check yourself because if you diss dre you dissed yourself
If you want more jabs check out his 1st ep going solo called Jackin' for Beats. Here a challenge for you. There are 9 samples on this song how many people know the sample beats he used on this song
The reason why NWA didn’t respond is because the group was already falling apart. NWA’s manager’s name was Jerry Heller. This song was sampled from the song “Dazz” (disco jazz) from a group named “Brick”. Cuba Gooding jr’s father was in that group.
The hardest reference was when he called eazy-e kunta kinte,(from roots) and said, "I gotta whip for ya toby!" (Which was kuntas' slave name from roots)
Ice cube wrote every word for every emcee in NWA except Mc wren , and he was not paid for it! He made easy a star with his lyrics and teaching him how to rap, jerry heller was the manager .. it gets deeper .. they gave yella writing credits and not ice cube! Yella was a DJ not a producer or rapper he was more a close friend to Dre, they thought that Mc wren could take over the writing for Easy E and he did but he didn’t have ice cube flare for writing and hooks on songs! At the time it was a bold move for ice cube but he became super successful leaving the group !
He was basically letting them know that their contracts were bogus. That's why he left. Dre said that this woke him up and shortly after he was gone from Ruthless records.
It was a double shot message....the initial thing is he was calling them gay....but he was saying Eazy and Jerry (the manager) was f'ing them out of their money, for the work they were doing. Cube left because Jerry want him to sign a contract without reading it, when Cube was already feeling like he wasn't getting what he deserved. As tough of a diss track as this is, it was still a club banger- fun song. I was living in Long Beach at the time, and no matter what club you went to, Compton, Long Beach, SC, etc etc...this song was in heavy rotation, and the dance floor would be packed.
The thing about subliminal is the person u talking about knows u talking about them it’s a bait move to get them to show their hand it’s just used as the first jab
After Cube left NWA,(over financial disputes), the whole beef started with a line Dre dropped, aimed at Cube, on the title track of NWA’s EP, 100 Miles And Runnin’; “It s tarted with five and, yo, one couldn't take it. So now there's four 'cause the fifth couldn't make it” After that Cube responded with a line aimed back at them at the end of a song called Jackin’ For Beats. On their follow up album, EFIL4ZAGGIN(Niggaz 4 Life spelled backwards), they came with Alwayz Into Somethin’, a skit called Message To B.A., and the track Real Niggaz(which was previously on released on 100 Miles And Runnin’), all of which led up to Cube coming out with a diss track that in my opinion upped the ante for diss records.
You have listen to 100 Miles and Running (which is a hard ass song / video) as that started NWA’s diss to Ice Cube. Dre said something along the lines of “We started with 5 and 1 couldn’t take it. Now it’s 4 cuz the 5th didn’t make it “ And then Always Into Something and Message to B.A on NWA last album Niggaz4Life. No Vaseline was the answer to all of that.
Cube wasn't playing games when he released this. Must have been crazy to listen to on the 90s.
Cube was ruthless in the 90's especially after he went solo and formed da Lynch Mob.
No. Nobody responded because they couldn’t. Dre threw some jabs on the Chronic but him and Cube squashed it shortly after. IMO this is the greatest diss track ever. Here’s why, Cube helped form NWA, wrote a lot of material to build up arguably the greatest hip hop group of all time. He destroyed them and made them break the group up.

Common - The Bitch in Yoo was a devastating Ice Cube diss, and very overlooked
@@MatadorShifter
Exactly, no one expected Common Sense to fire back and that hard!
No Doubt Lord. Peace!

its a good ass diss but id say hit em up is the best diss in hip hop in my opinion
@@cianvmr2828 agree to disagree.. 1v4 vs 4v1 and this was way more personal

It's number 1, no contest.
It's gotta be #1, there really hasn't been something so ruthless since.
@@primary2630 hit em up and ether are close , I have them at #2 & 3 behind this song. No Vaseline is easily the best diss track of all time

His name was Jerry Heller
Ice Cube - True To The Game
Jerry Heller was Eazy’s manager.
He was the group’s manager.
What he meant by the lipstick and lace comment was Dre got his start in a Dance Rap band called The World Class Wreckin Crew. You can find their videos on here.
NWA dissed him for leaving the group and going solo and this was his response.
Exactly
Right when you thought the album was over this song came on. It wasn't on the track list so it surprised everyone.
The song is a metaphor. He basically saying the whole group got screwed by Jerry Heller and Eazy E. Cube was the only one who didn’t sign a contract. The rest of them signed while Cube had his lawyer look at it. Contract was shady so he didn’t sign. When he approached Jerry and Eazy about it and asking for his money, he got denied so he left the group.

The song was scathing enough to make Dre actually look into his contract. He found that Cube was telling the truth so he and Eazy fell out and Dre left and started Deathrow. Ren stayed. Yella left and became a porn director. And NWA was finished.
Couldn’t have said it any better
Despite what the onscreen lyrics say, the real lyric is "bent-a-dick"... Was slang for getting forcefully f'd in the ass with no lube, so much so that the d bends.
Joint was cold. Cube was a beast in the 90s. Check out "you know how we do it" by ice cube..
200 years later and this sht is still 🔥🔥
Also, Dre and Yella were in a group before NWA called “World Class Wreckin Crew” they made a lot of funk and ballad records. They wasn’t rapping. They used to wear lacy, feminine clothing, kinda looking like some Prince knock-offs.

This is one of the top 5 diss records ever. Cube went HARD
Ice Cube is the best lyrically, he wrote there rhymes!
The reason why NWA didn’t respond is because the group was already falling apart. NWA’s manager’s name was Jerry Heller.
