Peep Game w/ Ice Cube by Davey D The Don Mega Ice Cube is currently on a West Coast Club Tour. We got a chance to catch up with him in San Francisco and have a more in-depth conversation with him since our last encounter which was about a month ago in LA. Here we got Cube’s thoughts on the current immigration debate and Black-Brown unity. This was an important question because in the past Cube has kicked lyrics on this topic on a number of songs. Most recently he addresses this in the song ‘Get You Down’ featuring B-Real and Warren G. We also talked about Cube’s recent television project ‘Black and White’ and whether or not he intends to expand the concept to include other ethnic groups. We talked to Cube about his upcoming album ‘Laugh Now Cry later’ and what sort of messages he hoped to convey. His new song ‘Why We Thugs’ is overtly political and we wanted to know if he was going to have more songs in the same vein. We also talked to Cube about his new label called Lench Mob records and whether or not he would get back together with the original Lench Mob and Kam. Currently there’s a lot of buzz in the streets that may happen. Cube smiled when I asked the question, and said there were no immediate plans. We also asked Cube to talk about his emcee skillz and how he maintains consistency over the years.. As for the show at San Francisco’s historic Fillmore, Cube along with WC and Crazy Toons wrecked shop from start to finish. The show which sold out within an hour of tickets going on sale, started out with the Clipse opening up and doing their thing. Next the Dogg Pound came through and got busy. Joining DPG on stage was JT the Bigga Figga. That caught a lot of people by surprise because it was just a year ago that Daz and JT were beefing with one another and publicly challenging each other to a boxing match. Cube hit the stage with WC as his hype man and Crazy Toons on the turntables. There were no stage props except a big balloon with the westside hand sign. The first song Cube hit folks with was ‘Natural Born Killer with WC doing Dre’s part. He followed it up with ‘Hello’ which was originally done by NWA. The pace of the show picked up from there with the crowd getting cracked over the dome with hit after hit after hit. It’s really refreshing to watch a cat just put on a good show. Less
