I had the opportunity to interview a true Hip Hop legend yesterday, The Don Mega aka Brainiac, Mr. Ice Cube himself. We talked about the upcoming Westside Connection album "Terrorist Threats", the "Bow Down" album, his feelings about Shorty & Da Lench Mob, the N.W.A. reunion, the situation with Dre & Aftermath & more. Read below, and CLICK HERE to hear an exclusive Ice Cube Drop For West Coast 2K in mp3. I wanna thank Christine From Capitol Records for hooking up this interview, and of course Ice Cube for takin the time out of his busy schedule to sit down and talk to us! Time was limited, therefore we couldnt ask all our questions, but your feedback is welcome. [ Listen to the Ice Cube Drop For West Coast 2K ] WC2K: Alright first off, I wanna say that this is a big honor to do this interview with the Hip Hop legend himself! Ice Cube: Oh man, I appreciate it, apppreciate it! WC2K: I like the first scene of the "Gangsta Nation" video that was dope seein you rockin the Curl again! Ice Cube: Hahaha fo sho! Thats cool, cause you know Im from the Old School! WC2K: The New Westside Connection album is coming in December. Can you just talk about it real quik and say what people can expect from it? Ice Cube: Well the name of the album is "Terrorist Threats" which is really kinda like a metaphor for what we think this music is gonna be to people in 20 years. Its just full of hardcore songs, its not that soft hip hop that we been really listening to for the last 2 to 3 years. Its just back to the hardcore with us together again. We got 13 songs on there, it has songs like "Pimp The System", "Call 911", "Potential Victims", "Get Ignit", "So Many Rappers In Love", so we got songs that Hardcore Hip Hop fans gonna love. WC2K: You mentioned the track "So Many Rappers In Love", do you think those Rappers you're talkin about are hurting the state of Hip Hop? Ice Cube: Yeah you know I think its time for a change. In Hip Hop, sometimes its about egos, sometimes its a political thing, or a street thing. I just think its enough of this Love Rap that is all over the radio. Cause we losin something. We losing some of the enegery it used to give to the youth. We losin all that so we felt it was time to talk about it, and time to try to swing the thing back where it belongs.
