Seems as if Ice Cube has been keeping an ear to the streets. He's hearing the whispers that he doesn't want the up and coming rappers from the west to shine.
He also must have heard about Watts rapper Jay Rock taking the baton for the "New West" with his recent comments. Jay took offense to Cube saying it wasn't his job to make any new rappers famous calling a few unnamed West Coast MC's clowns.
Jay responded by saying he wanted Cube to name names and didn't need his co-sign. Further adding "all I need is my mic, my fans, my hood and this big ass gun"
In his latest blog, Don Mega addresses those issues.
"I understand my last few blogs have been talked about in the streets and all over the internet. I want to make myself clear to all my fans who think I turned my back on the young rappers out here. No. I wish every young MC nothing but success, especially the ones from the New West. BUT, I have a major problem with any mothaf**ka from ANY COAST dissing the Old West...especially me. I'M SERVING YOU!"
Cube doesn't feel the need to name specific rappers just yet. Although It's starting to become clear who he's talking about.
"Now, alot of people want me to name names. Buy the record. In stores July 13th. I ain't naming names at this time, but I'm adding names. You let me know if you wanna be on the list"
