It’s crazy cus Cube really isn’t all that old yet he’s been in the game since practically the beginning of hiphop. He’s literally one of the forefathers of this shit
Not quite since the very beginning but very close. Remember Hip Hop started in New York City then eventually World Wide😁 When Ice Cube got into the Rap game it was just becoming big in West Coast. Ice-T was one of the first rappers from the West Coast and Ice-T had heard about rap when he traveled to the East Coast and bought it over to West Coast😁 N.W.A had put Gangsta Rap on the map. The first rappers to put hip hop on the map were The Sugar Hill Gang with Rappers Delight back in '78😁 The you started to hear about many,many other rappers😁Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Cold Crush Brothers, The Funky Four plus one more(the first rappers to have a female mc) just to name a few in rap's infancy stage.
@@henewcom50 N.W.A was big when hip hop was roughly a decade old. Groups like Grandmaster Flash, U.T.F.O, Rappers like Kurtis Blow, then Beastie Boys, RUN DMC, Not to mention LL Cool J all had huge albums and success long before N.W.A or even Public Enemy were even around. And yea, 99% of the artists I mentioned were from NY!
Disrespectful at 9:45 when he opens up like that remembering a passing friend and you don't give himself space and a few seconds to recompose, you just jump straight to the next question like he was talking about the weather. He got some feelings there, man.
Agreed! I was thinking the same thing. And a minute earlier talking about how he got a hotel to be close to easy on his death bed and they're making jokes about pagers? Ice cube is a great story teller. These hosts are not...
His retention for exactly what happened and when.... his ability to come up with great movies and music... This guy doesn't get enough credit for just how smart he is. He might be a genius.
I was born March 2nd and listen too rap in 2013 I'm 14 now tho Soo not that late too rap game I'm learning too rap now I have some songs in review mostly singles probably on my bday once i turn 15 ima work on my album real quick
Can confirm: Juan Ep is, in fact, life. Don't y'all ever stop this show again!! And keep dropping this classic shit! Between y'all's original show, and Combat Jack (R.I.P.), I'm pretty sure at least one fire, legendary interview has been done wit every legend in the game. So keep blessin us with this classic shit, and keep coming up wit the new, will be classic in the future content too.
Eazy E reach was pretty incredible, I remember my cousin playing it when we was deep in the Hollers of West Virginia, back when they would hide it behind the record counter and you had to be 18 to buy there stuff, that was how they censored content before the Explicit lyric sticker...
I grew up listening to NWA.. a lot of friends I went to school with and hung with were really into NWA. And I got into it and they were the shit !! And when the movie Straight Outta Compton came out… I called my friends and was like, dude.. we got to go see this movie. Holy Fuk balls. That was such a well depicted film, very well put together to tell the story of the up coming. I am a huge fan of cube and would really love to meet him in person! That would be a huge dream come true.
I remember Dre saying one of his favourite albums is Nirvana's Nevermind. Punk rock & hip hop are closely related if you regard it as street music & the disenfranchised
@@plathandpinter Dre said on The Defiant Ones documentary that Nirvana was his favorite band of all time. When you’re a real artist, music is music, all those barriers don’t matter. Everyone in N.W.A. Was a fucking genius.
What are the fucking odds? Seriously. A few brothers from Compton decide they want to make harder edge Hip Hop. And in one group you have Cube: writer extraordinaire. He may not have ever been about that life, but his ability to chronicle it in a poetic manner might be second to none. Eazy, the reluctant rapper that had to be cajoled into being MC. Never wanted to rap but had that signature voice that you just can't replicate. A voice that is synonymous with gangster rap. And Dr. Dre. Hip Hop's first Billionaire. Dre was dissatisfied with the grainy sound of early rap and wanted the records to have a high fidelity. In his quest for perfection he made excellent album after excellent album. Ren and Yella ain't nothing to sneeze at either.
They literally made a movie about this man's and others real life story. It's a documentary! And now he's telling the story and it's 💯 accurate...Hollywood didn't fk this one up. Thank God!!
1994 Los Angeles Lowrider Super Car Show u got Eazy-E with 1 dude and Ice Cube with all his crew. Anyone that was there I’m sure feel’s the same way. Classic
Man , Boys N the hood song was the shit back then, especially if you had two 12's in the back, the bass hit so hard on that track, know every word to the song til this day. Straight classic
I know riiiight!! I always said that 2, because I was in the 6th grade when BOYZ N THE HOOD and DOPE MAN came out, and that shit was craaaaazy 2 hear something that was actually going on around in the hood U feel me....
Imagine being in HBO, leaving the studio because of how Boyz-n-the-Hood was written, only for it to later become one of the most iconic songs in rap history.
When John Singleton made Boyz N The Hood it was supposed to be about a day in the life of N.W.A. but unfortunately the group was already broken up before then. So then John Singleton asked Ice Cube to be in it and he said yes. The rest is history. Ice Cube then started to become an actor/rapper after Boyz N The Hood. He got so much into acting that he eventually started his own production company CubeVision.😁
Wrong. He wrote "Boys in the Hood" while in college. Cube almost didn't get the part because he didn't study the script the first time. Singleton gave em one more chance. That's how he got the part. That's straight from Cube
8:40 Actually cell phones were much more common. I had a Motorola Ultra classic in the early 1990s ,and a Dyna Tac.. While the phones weren't cheap ,the airtime was 25 cents a minute.
I would argue ‘Friday’ is just as great a film as ‘Boyz In Da Hood’. Just as impactful but for different reasons. I mean everybody knows ‘Bye Felicia!’
Cube always gonna be known as one of the goat lyricists ever. Its a damn shame that jerry ruined the group by causing a divide with cube and nwa. Imagine what could have been if they had stayed together. At lease we got straight out of compton.
@@Dave2one6 and? HES TALKING TO ICE CUBE! That whole video the fat dude is interrupting him and asking him stupid shit and then they just totally change the subject from boyz n the hood to “PRIMO, ITS PRIMO” just unnecessary
the time cube left to the time of eazy's demise had to be what, 6 years? 1989 -1995 what a hell of a time. let alone the year right after with tupac smh biggie right after that year. rip Eazy Big n Pac
Noone ever questioned jerry for easy's death. You gotta think every thinks it was shug but if easy really confronted and wanted rid of jerry, jerry could have easily contacted people and payed them. Just a theory haha
At 5:01 Ice Cube speaks about the second album by NWA. I think NWA second album was gritty and pushed the envelope which made it a better album. The same thing these comedians say on record and at their show.
It’s crazy cus Cube really isn’t all that old yet he’s been in the game since practically the beginning of hiphop. He’s literally one of the forefathers of this shit

Facts. He was ghost writing at like 17
If you search up “CIA MY POSSE” his early stuff sounds like the beastie boys/run dmc

Yup I said the same thing. Maybe they didn't mean it but he sure in hell was feeling it. You could feel it sitting here. Man this shit still hurts.
The awkward grin
That part pissed me tf off they're just laughing it off to a man remembering his friend.. shit interviewer, just here for ice.
Ice Cube One Of The Greatest Ever To Touch The Mic 🎤 RIP 🙏😢 EAZY E
Is the greatest....
Agree Dr Dre ice cube 2pac biggie eazy e scarface
It’s in his tone & his delivery of a single word; “cruisin!”
His retention for exactly what happened and when.... his ability to come up with great movies and music... This guy doesn't get enough credit for just how smart he is. He might be a genius.
Ice Cube is the voice of reason, and the voice of hip-hop.
Definitely one of the best rappers of all time. I would put Cube in the top 5.
Absolutely!!!!
There still has never been a better battle record than no Vaseline
No Vaseline and Hit em up way above anything else
@@patrickkirkham real muthaphukkin gz
@@patrickkirkham nah hit Em up isn't that great, people just hype it because it's Pac's song. No Vaseline is head and shoulders above it.
Nah easy e dissed them in a lot more songs than real mf gs
Real mf gs and it’s on are the best disses of all time
I feel that if eazy e was alive he'd be in movies and shows and video games
And making more super groups and NWA coming back
Yea it wouldve been cool to see him on movies and see him live sadly he died 10years before i was born
I watched SOC and l told my friend if thats the way Easy actually was then I’m kinda messed up that hes dead.
I was born March 2nd and listen too rap in 2013 I'm 14 now tho
Soo not that late too rap game
I'm learning too rap now I have some songs in review mostly singles probably on my bday once i turn 15 ima work on my album real quick
@@72rigged yea
@@jdb3160 yea
Ice Cube is SO talented that he even passed that talent on to his son!
I love Boyz in the Hood but I still watch Friday on the regular
I'm a 64 year old white dude, and I love Friday, SOOC, and no vaseline
You dont use vaseline on your cornhole?@@mister3566
Can confirm: Juan Ep is, in fact, life.

Yea! Emphasis on the DONT YOU EVER STOP THIS SHOW AGAIN!!!....please... I need it in my life🥹😆
He's such a gentleman
THANK YOU!!! Please release more LEGENDARY interviews FOR THE CULTURE 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
We plan on it. More to come!

Ice Cube knowing who Jesus and Mary Chain are and seeing Ministry live is hilarious.
JAMC are hard as fuck

@@cardigansarecoolI'm delighted 1 of our best Bands Ice T is into a lot of heavy Guitar stuff he's like into Metallica Groups like that.
One of the most distinct voices ever.
No vaseline still go hard the hardest song to this day
From the 1st line "Gah damn I'm glad y'all set it off" it just got better from there!!! Ain't no better diss record 30 yrs later!
Real muthafuckin g’s is the best in my opinion but no Vaseline is definitely up there
agreed
Thank you for re-uploading these interviews! They were great.
R.I.P. Eazy-E

Well said and summed up
Man...I really wish NWA could've got back together for one final album.
That album changed the planet . After knowing every hip hop artist in NY from 82'-88' It was shocking .
Cube is a very smart guy.
Yo you can see and hear the hurt in cubes voice and eyes
You see it in everyone who was close to Eazy.
They literally made a movie about this man's and others real life story. It's a documentary!
And now he's telling the story and it's 💯 accurate...Hollywood didn't fk this one up. Thank God!!
Hollywood is a hoax culture of gender inverted, fraternity-born puppets.
1994 Los Angeles Lowrider Super Car Show u got Eazy-E with 1 dude and Ice Cube with all his crew. Anyone that was there I’m sure feel’s the same way. Classic
Friday and Players club is the best
E was one of the greats
Man , Boys N the hood song was the shit back then, especially if you had two 12's in the back, the bass hit so hard on that track, know every word to the song til this day. Straight classic
Wow that’s crazy Cube never even knew that they found out about Jerry and kicked him out that’s crazy
Ice cube long interesting interview about his career it's sad what happened easy e rip peace
IceCube MADE NWA! HE IS A FATHER OF RAP! This diss was out of pain! He was trying to WAKE EZ UP!
Great interview 👏👏
That would be hard if there was an original Ice Cube reference track for Boyz n the Hood.
I know riiiight!! I always said that 2, because I was in the 6th grade when BOYZ N THE HOOD and DOPE MAN came out, and that shit was craaaaazy 2 hear something that was actually going on around in the hood U feel me....
I knew about this . I actually was lucky to have gotten a demo from my dude in Queens like 2 months before SOC dropped . This is good shit !
No more ? is one of the most underrated rap songs ever
Cube had did it ALL . Since he was 13 years old my 'whjole' lifetime. He'd still about 35 here I think total veteran .
Cube was one biggest artists in the 90s
Imagine being in HBO, leaving the studio because of how Boyz-n-the-Hood was written, only for it to later become one of the most iconic songs in rap history.
And a movie too!
and the first two barbershops are probably my fav cube films
All the Fridays movie’s and the barbershop
Even wen he was in first Sunday
Just imagine if Cube got the chance to spit on the production from Efil4zaggiN.............
fire stuff guys
Thank you
Ice cube is looking good in his 50’s! Great hair
And the only member of N.W.A. that went to Eazy E funeral was DJ Yela.
Sad shit
R.I.P EAZY E

brilliant Ice Cube giving the Jesus & Mary Chain a shout out, 1 of our finest Bands
✌️🙏🏴
Damn. I just got sad remembering the movie when Eazy was told he was gonna die.
That movie was full of bs
Haha that was awesome I like how he went from himself to Gangster as soon as the phone call happened
ive heard all of this in numerous interviews 😂😂😂😂
Man this is a throwback. You got anymore homie?
Cube always gonna be known as one of the goat lyricists ever. Its a damn shame that jerry ruined the group by causing a divide with cube and nwa. Imagine what could have been if they had stayed together. At lease we got straight out of compton.
Why these dudes so rude towards cube bro 😂😭 answering a phone call when you’re about to praise him on his role in a legendary movie, just fucked up 🤣
It was DJ Premier tho.
@@Dave2one6 and? HES TALKING TO ICE CUBE! That whole video the fat dude is interrupting him and asking him stupid shit and then they just totally change the subject from boyz n the hood to “PRIMO, ITS PRIMO” just unnecessary
These niggas corny you can tell cube ready to leave
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 right
Nwa efil4zaggin album cover, imo was the best hip-hop album cover to come out
RIP Eazy E.
Makes perfect sense why juan ep is life had to rebrand 🤣
Awesome Fro... lol
Goat
I love you and miss you!😘👋😀
the time cube left to the time of eazy's demise had to be what, 6 years? 1989 -1995 what a hell of a time. let alone the year right after with tupac smh biggie right after that year. rip Eazy Big n Pac
Ice Cube shut down a record labels
They need to hook up with lil easy e and do a reunion/tribute tour
Ice cube lookin like craig robinson here
I’m weak
This interview came out in 2006 or 2007
Squash the beef with Mack 10! Bring back the connection!!!
Dope
Noone ever questioned jerry for easy's death. You gotta think every thinks it was shug but if easy really confronted and wanted rid of jerry, jerry could have easily contacted people and payed them. Just a theory haha
Yeah Jerry had a lot of power & probably the person who told Suge about injecting someone w/ blood of a person w/ HIV
cube is so likeable
Nigga4life is the greatest sounding album i ever heard .
Ice cube is amazing
NWA will go down as the greatest group in hip hop of all time. Cube, Dre and EAZY in the same group….incredible.
Change rap 4 ever!
>Ya gotta have (((beady))) eyes
Based
RIP eazy
Cube, Tupac, Kanye, KRS1 Mt Rushmore of Hip Hop
''You know.'' - quote Ice Cube
9:55 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is this old? NWA movie came out already
Content of character not color of skin assets over statehood
💙💙💙💙💙💙
NWA's record is too far? Damn! And that too coming from the man who wrote "No Vaseline". Well i gotta agree. Who else is gonna know better?
This from years ago.
wen was this recorded tht fone is old as shit lol
This one goes out for Suge Knight 5:54
Talking about a film as powerful that he was in besides Boyz would be HIGHER LEARNING.
So that where leave it on wax came from and mean well damn
At 5:01 Ice Cube speaks about the second album by NWA. I think NWA second album was gritty and pushed the envelope which made it a better album. The same thing these comedians say on record and at their show.
I’m glad he didn’t want to get raunchy on albums and covers
BOYZ IN THE HOOD HANDZ DOWN THE BEST
what year was this?
He didn't know there were phones before cell phones?
Wonder why ever happened to HBo 👀
Ice Cube is Louis Johnson
🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Dick move to interrupt ice cube to take a phone call..
Anybody kno where HBO is today or whatever cause I know they ass was mad ass hell they walked out😭….
