Dis is Dope to hear about the origins of the West rise in HipHop , growing up on the East coast ... I appreciate this whole heartedly. I can say NWA was so Powerful , I can remember growing up in the Projects in NYC , nd seeing Marked up walls in the hallways , Tagged -up NWA .. NWA's movement was felt all over the U.S Their music resonated in every hood from City2City , State2State.
I play all three of them every week keeps my blood pressure down. Cube is my favorite of all times with the 3 back to back classics amerikkkas most wanted, kill at will and death certificate. His story telling is our of this world.
Love that 40 brought up "Mr. Flamboyant"! That was on The Click's Down and Dirty album, I still have the original release of that one. "Let's Get Drunk" was the first E-40 song I ever heard in the summer of '93
First heard 40 on the Click Down and Dirty album. My big brother had just got in trouble and was in his room slapping "Tired of Being Stepped On"...lol. I think it was 1993.
I was at that concert with Cube and Too Short. Uncle Luke was there and introduced NWA. That's when I found out that one of my classmates was actually Terrible T from 357. I saw her coming out the side door from the back stage entrance. That was a dope ass concert!!!!
Man how in the WORLD did Cube say the first time he heard 40 was “Sprinkle Me” which was on like his 3rd album??? I mean I understand that L.A. and the Bay ain’t right up the street from each other but I’m way in Dallas and I saw the “Practice Looking Hard” video off his first major album on The Box. My older cousin had us jammin’ that whole “The Mail Man” album in like ‘93-94. “Sprinkle Me” was like 2 years later on “In A Major Way”…
I'm from L.A., and honestly at the time, we didn't hear much Bay Area music. We had that "this is L.A. fuck the world" mentality on a lot of things unfortunately. L.A. and The Bay back then, were two completely different worlds, and there wasn't much interaction then, like there is today. We did our thing, and they did their thing. The ONLY reason I heard Bay Area music back in the late 80's was because we'd visit my cousins in Richmond a few times a year. And they were bumpin all of those Bay Area rappers at the time. And I started listening to them from that connection, and in turn, a few of the homies from L.A. began listening to them. And back then, most of the Bay Area infiltration of their music to L.A., was done this way. And of course you'd see some cats from The Bay selling tapes out of the trunk, but there were tons of people doing that back then. But I first heard Too Short, and probably most other people did, in '88 when 'Life Is Too Short' dropped. And I first heard 40 on some mix tape my cousins from Richmond had around '89 or '90. So I knew who he was when he first started pushing out studio albums.
They mainly focused on who they were affiliated with and the styles they came from. Short knew Cube through performances and Cube wasn’t close to the Bay style though he wouldn’t put down performances with Bay cats but overall he was with the LA style of rap.
Summer 1982. My Homegirl Selona would be back and forth from Oakland to San Diego all the time and I had been living in Illinois. We just finished the 9th Grade and she's telling me "Greg.. You never listen to Too Short?" Of course I'd never heard of him. She said "Yeah! He'll just come out on stage and say "Beeach!!! Beeach!!!" I was in shock! LOL because I was used to Spoony Gee, GMF/F5, Count Coolout etc etc. Wild, that was 40 years ago.
"Sprinkle Me" the 1st time Cube heard Forty Water?? That's kinda late to hear imo....I'm from Alaska and the 1st time I heard 40 was Captain Save a Hoe single....waaaay before Sprinkle Me.
I am from Phoenix AZ And I Seen Cube As He Was Becoming Famous In NWA. HE lived Right Next Too My Sec 8 Apartments in "Sunset" Apts while Attending A School Of Electronics. I Went To the Eazy E , NWA , and Too $hort Concert in 89. I Met $hort And Eric And D.O.C. !
Ironically my first time (or one of the first times) I heard Ice Cube it’s on camera that I was just watching on this past Thanksgiving and I was 5 years old in the video in 1993 rapping “fxcK the poIice” while living in Inglewood on the same block as Mac 10 and Tyra Banks. Then 3 years later my mom and I moved back to Philly (I was born there and my mom moved to Cali when I was 8 months old) so I remember moving back when I was now 8 years old and kids my age were into Biggie & Method Man but I came thru on my Ice Cube and Eazy-E shit with Tupac as well (Tupac was the one we all agreed on together) but basically we put each other on to our respective rap artist and became fans of each other’s music except for me (not) caring for Biggie too much bkuz in my eyes I was born and raised in LA and had to ride with Pac 100% • as far as Too Short & E-40 ngl we all agreed [at the time as little kids] that those two were both 🌽🦵🏾…. only until I got older I learned to respect their craft especially E-40’s with his wordplay and slang and as far as Short Dawg goes I learned to respect his hustle but as a jit I remember telling my Philly homeboys that “40 and Short they not from LA like me so we don’t claim them all like that” but I can admit now that it was just my ignorance and not really understanding too much on how they were coming lol • but today I know that they are Hip Hop Legends and not just West Coast Rap Legends
Dope Story ... You have ties to two of the more legendary cities in the world , Reppin' both coast. You had your own smaller , Reverse version of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air type thing as a Lad. Do you still go back west ???
I love how the East and West Coast was doing shows together way back in the early 80's. If these guys didn't tell you or there wasn't pictures you wouldn't believe it 🫡
Lmao one time my mom saw too short in a bar like he straight up asked her out and the funny thing was he kept asking if she knew who he was and it took her like a hour to realize 😂
Wow... being born in 96, ppl in mid to late 20s is hit or miss if they hard these legends . Let alone ppl in they early 20s. Kanye, The Game , Meek Mill are there legends
I know man.. I hope he went home and listened to Mr. Flamboyant after this interview. Shit is too crazy of a song to not hear at least once as a fan of hip-hop
My patna from Vallejo had Mr. Flamboyant on tape and everybody in Oakland hated E-40 at first when that came out like he rap too fast and don’t be on beat but after a month or 2 we was like 40 the shit! 😂😂😂 Ice Cube it was definitely from the NWA days but “Dopeman” and “I Ain’t The One” put him on Too Short my mom had his album from when he was on 75 Girls label. The song was “GirlsShe used to write the lyrics down to his songs so her and her friends could rap along with it. As kids we used to be juiced to say “I don’t eat Ice Cream or Cherry Pie …” and my Uncle had a couple of Special Requests back in the day
Ice Cube could read all the lyrics he wrote for everybody else and it would be a classic collectors item...better yet he could get the best fools who make classroom desk beats and beat box and it would still be a must have.
5 Star OG's🤟😎👌I love you Niggas Dogg 💯 I like how Cube can keep it gangsta & professional at the same time PIRU‼️ OG TooShort a foolie 😜 I fuckin love it
When Short brought up E-40 " Mr. Flamboyant " song... I lost my shit... Man my 2 Kicker 15's in that 83 Buick Regal Limited used to have my quarter panels breathing in and out... 🤣 Man I miss those day's....
Too Short was selling dope and selling his tapes out of the trunk from his car...I remember seeing E-40 and The Click in the crowds like everyone else at KMEL Summer Jam concerts
I was at my big sister's house in like 90...my baller big bro in law came back to from a "road trip" and put the Click tape in the Impala deck and had the block QUAKIN! RIP J-Goode
I heard all three on the radio in the Bay when I would be getting ready for school in the mid 2000s. E40 with the song Tell Me When to Go. Too $hort with Blow The Whistle and Cube with Check Ya Self. I was in 3rd grade lol
When I heard the Death Certificate album by Cube I foreal fully locked in as a true fan to him from the production of that album man's writing skills was unmatched during that time in the West Coast as it still is now True MC. Snoop first song I ever heard was Tha Shiznit on a radio station and bro caught my attention more than any rapper of all time the way snoop rapped was just different than anyone else Doggystyle top 5 album of all time in my opinion. Too short when I first saw the music video to the song ima player I thought it was dope asf and just stayed in tune for the longest with this dude's rhymes still to this day. I actually wasn't a big e40 fan when first hearing him but his music definitely grew on me over the years probably me not being use to his different flow but that Tha Hall Of Game album was fire and by that time 40 was in his bag in the music industry and just got better each year with his lyricism 🔥
Ice Cube: Express Yourself (with NWA) Too Short: Life is Too Short E-40: Sprinkle Me To this day, my favorite Too Short/Ice Cube Collab is the legendary, "ain't nothing but a word". Heard that song waaaayyyy before I was supposed to. First Too Short song I learned verbatim. Once I got a lil older....started bumping their music on the regular. Lethal Injection still my favorite Ice Cube album. Album number 10 still my favorite Too Short album and In a Major Way still my favorite E-40 album. All of em legends
Here are the songs that sent me down the long road with these GOATS. If only Spice-1 was included then it would be complete. Too Short- Don't Fight the Feelin Ice Cube- How To Survive in South Central E-40- My Drinking Club
I first heard Too Short at our school dance. The principle ran out to our gym (that's where they held our middle school dances) to tell the DJ to shut it down. LOL We were in middle school. This was in 1986. Since then I've been listening to Todd
First time I heard Short was 1985 as a 4th Grader at Lakeview. My friend was singing "Girl" before finally bringing me the tape. First time I heard 40 was maybe 1990, because my cousin had the Federal tape. First time I heard Cube was the NWA and the Posse tape, I think...but I don't really remember. That would have been 88 at the latest...
Gratitude Ps I think that UTFO ,Roxanne Shante and Too Short concert was at The Henry J Kaiser. Pps I bought Ice Cube The Predator album after seeig the Good Day video. I bought Too Short Album number 10 after borrowing my Fams Cocktail Tape. Before that on October 27, 1996 I bought my first E-40 CD The Hall of Game. My Fam had hipped me to The Mailman, Federal and In A Major Way. The I Practice Looking Hard video with Tupac and Boots Riley was filmed in North Oakland near childhood home.
I found E-40 by just looking at a album cover.. With a old school ride on it.. Then I looked up anything else he had Federal was next.. Then became a fan of B-Legit.. Whoever did the adlibs and background I believe Young Mugsy use to go in .. I'm from California via Arizona but E-40 is my favorite Scarface a close second.
First song I ever heard from these three Legends...been a fan ever since!
E-40 - Mr. Flamboyant
Too Short - Freaky Tales
Ice Cube - Dope Man
I'm STILL rocking E-40's 'Hall of Game' album since '95. So much truth, so much laughter!
Sprinkle Me still my Joint
That shit knock
Million dollar spot
You mean '96 In A Major Way was '95
Same....2025 😂
Legendary Rappers They Pave The Way
Love how short talked about blegit on that , cause that shit was fire man blegit so underrated
B Legit went hard on What Happened To The Groupies with Too $hort
Three absolute legends in the rap game. Not just West Coast. 🙏🏽 grew up bumping all three
Heard Biggie say that even at the height of the east/west conflict, east coast always loved too $hort
I'm ice cube in every socal setting I'm in just barely talking and when I do talk I get cut off
Hate that bra 😅
2 bay legends and a L.A legend under one roof. 🔥
So good to see Too $hort getting the reverence from these giants.
Legend.
Any track he’s on, his verse is always the best.
Too Short was the first!
E-40 stay coming with the drip
Can't stop sweating 😅😅😅
Dis is Dope to hear about the origins of the West rise in HipHop , growing up on the East coast ...
I appreciate this whole heartedly.
I can say NWA was so Powerful , I can remember growing up in the Projects in NYC , nd seeing Marked up walls in the hallways , Tagged -up NWA ..
NWA's movement was felt all over the U.S
Their music resonated in every hood from City2City , State2State.
I love hearing these stories from artists, just the history of the grind.
I play all three of them every week keeps my blood pressure down. Cube is my favorite of all times with the 3 back to back classics amerikkkas most wanted, kill at will and death certificate. His story telling is our of this world.
And they all still make great music to this day
Love that 40 brought up "Mr. Flamboyant"! That was on The Click's Down and Dirty album, I still have the original release of that one. "Let's Get Drunk" was the first E-40 song I ever heard in the summer of '93
E-40 always looks the same haha ever since the 90s
First heard 40 on the Click Down and Dirty album. My big brother had just got in trouble and was in his room slapping "Tired of Being Stepped On"...lol. I think it was 1993.
Bro this is legendary 3 hiphop legends
E40 and Too Short hearing Cube for the first time- “this ngga a studio gangsta”
3 west coast legends! Not matter it’s SoCal or NorCal all three are legends. Cali love 🙏🏾
E-40 dusted and disgusted that was my stuff back in the day
Yes sir ,spice 1 pac and Mac Mall..that song straight gas...
Yup fed ex was mine
Rasheed Wallace
Absolute flames
WE STILL SAY DUSTED AND DISGUSTED TO DESCRIBE A SITUATION
I was at that concert with Cube and Too Short. Uncle Luke was there and introduced NWA. That's when I found out that one of my classmates was actually Terrible T from 357. I saw her coming out the side door from the back stage entrance. That was a dope ass concert!!!!

yea im glad they zoomed past that! But thats how a lot of LA was toward the bay. it took a second but they caught up.

Man 40 wasn’t done talking then Cube wasn’t done either !
RIGHT!! I wanted to hear what Cube was finna say about E-40
Thats jus how old heads conversate
40 from the bay, Cube from LA, and Short is technically from both. California legends
LoL that's why short is in the middle
I’m from Philly and been listening to all three of these brothas for most of my life.
Too Short “Chase the Cat” album was when Short got my full attention. That album was hard asf
We need more of this !! Dope
Westcoast kings. Westcoast hip hop would be nothing without ice cube and E40 put the bay on the map. Nothing but respect to all three of them.
You can also say yukmouth helped pave the bay as well.
2 pac

Your beats are life changing short ...mad respect
"Sprinkle Me" the 1st time Cube heard Forty Water?? That's kinda late to hear imo....I'm from Alaska and the 1st time I heard 40 was Captain Save a Hoe single....waaaay before Sprinkle Me.
Ice cube probably didn’t like e40’s style in the beginning. From the looks of it hes still hating on 40
Alotra ppl didn’t like 40’s style when he first came out.
Yea no way that was the first time Cube HEARD E 40.
Three of the legends of the coast 3 of the best that does it Man!!💯💫

I wanted to hear Cube elaborate on first hearing Sprinkle Me. Too $hort cuts in, "I was famous before the rap game". Lolol
You can tell E40 and Too Short are HOMIES. Ice Cube looks a lil left out.
They from the bay
He told you crews didnt collab back in the day. Them two were outliers.
They're from the same city... Cube is from LA. Spice 1 is missing, but then it would be 3 Oakland cats to 1 LA cat.
@@KtotheG 40 from Vallejo not oakland

Do you still go back west ???
I love how the East and West Coast was doing shows together way back in the early 80's. If these guys didn't tell you or there wasn't pictures you wouldn't believe it 🫡
My uncle used to bump E40 & the click when I was a kid, I've been liking e40 music since
These dudes are the ones that no matter how much time go by, their name on any marquee will sale out guaranteed.
All of these dudes have Louisiana roots.
LEGENDS!!!!!!!
Lmao one time my mom saw too short in a bar like he straight up asked her out and the funny thing was he kept asking if she knew who he was and it took her like a hour to realize 😂

It kinda breaks my heart to find out Cube doesn't know "Mr. Flamboyant" and that fuckin "Sprinkle Me" is the FIRST 40 joint he heard. WTF? 🤔
I know man.. I hope he went home and listened to Mr. Flamboyant after this interview. Shit is too crazy of a song to not hear at least once as a fan of hip-hop
LA was big at that time, especially with NWA, they were kinda lost in the sauce. NorCal music didn’t really reach SoCal like that.
Fyah! Looking forward to Cube, Cypress Hill and Game next year NZ!
Legends! We need a Too Short docu movie!
This is awesome!
Cube not hearing 40 til Sprinkle Me threw me off. How you miss The Click debut AND Federal?
My patna from Vallejo had Mr. Flamboyant on tape and everybody in Oakland hated E-40 at first when that came out like he rap too fast and don’t be on beat but after a month or 2 we was like 40 the shit! 😂😂😂
Ice Cube it was definitely from the NWA days but “Dopeman” and “I Ain’t The One” put him on

All legends of hip hop who never slow on any hustle level, California is the cornerstone of gangsta Rap with this three headed monster 💯
ICE Cube rulez forever greetings from Hamburg Germany 👍👍👍
Two legends ice cube and too short
Rapping 4 tay should be on this West Coast tour
The first question is a awesome one
If I had to guess I’d say Cube doesn’t mess with 40’s music that much. Crazy that they’re in a group together.
Too Short was selling dope and selling his tapes out of the trunk from his car...I remember seeing E-40 and The Click in the crowds like everyone else at KMEL Summer Jam concerts
Flashin, Lieutenant Roast a Botch, Sideways and Hope I Don't Go Back are my top 40 smacks!! 🤩
When did you first hear each of these legends' music? Watch the full interview here: th-cam.com/video/WbdnWyNvJ8k/w-d-xo.html

I heard all three on the radio in the Bay when I would be getting ready for school in the mid 2000s. E40 with the song Tell Me When to Go. Too $hort with Blow The Whistle and Cube with Check Ya Self. I was in 3rd grade lol
When I heard the Death Certificate album by Cube I foreal fully locked in as a true fan to him from the production of that album man's writing skills was unmatched during that time in the West Coast as it still is now True MC.
Snoop first song I ever heard was Tha Shiznit on a radio station and bro caught my attention more than any rapper of all time the way snoop rapped was just different than anyone else Doggystyle top 5 album of all time in my opinion.

Ice Cube: Express Yourself (with NWA)
Too Short: Life is Too Short

Here are the songs that sent me down the long road with these GOATS. If only Spice-1 was included then it would be complete.
Too Short- Don't Fight the Feelin
Ice Cube- How To Survive in South Central
E-40- My Drinking Club
I first heard Too Short at our school dance. The principle ran out to our gym (that's where they held our middle school dances) to tell the DJ to shut it down. LOL We were in middle school. This was in 1986. Since then I've been listening to Todd
lol Cocktails had every school admin running for cover hahah
Ice cube was devastating in 87 too short was jus mind blowing e 40 jus slick w the federal express...all 3 Hof
Love these guys
That show had to be 🔥🔥🔥
First time I heard Short was 1985 as a 4th Grader at Lakeview. My friend was singing "Girl" before finally bringing me the tape.
First time I heard 40 was maybe 1990, because my cousin had the Federal tape.
First time I heard Cube was the NWA and the Posse tape, I think...but I don't really remember. That would have been 88 at the latest...
Vallejo, Oakland, and LA representin their homes
Too short freaky tales was mind blowing at that time
Gratitude
Ps I think that UTFO ,Roxanne Shante and Too Short concert was at The Henry J Kaiser.
Pps I bought Ice Cube The Predator album after seeig the Good Day video. I bought Too Short Album number 10 after borrowing my Fams Cocktail Tape. Before that on October 27, 1996 I bought my first E-40 CD The Hall of Game. My Fam had hipped me to The Mailman, Federal and In A Major Way. The I Practice Looking Hard video with Tupac and Boots Riley was filmed in North Oakland near childhood home.
I found E-40 by just looking at a album cover..
With a old school ride on it..
Then I looked up anything else he had Federal was next..
Then became a fan of B-Legit..
Whoever did the adlibs and background I believe Young Mugsy use to go in ..
I'm from California via Arizona but E-40 is my favorite Scarface a close second.
