But.. couldn't a nine year old child from the other side of the planet figure out how to create the letter W with a hand gesture?

Niqqas started calling my part of town East Side as a whole. Before, it was the Valley, the Grove, Such and Such Park.. but they came up with a blanket term, right?

Then they started throwing up the "E" hand gesture. Just reading what I wrote, I GUARANTEE you can make the "E" without seeing me do it first.

So how does one claim credit for such a thing?

Thank you.

:mjlol: at Cube lying his ass off. Damn shame.

Fred.

I don't know if Cube runs & replies to his own IG or Twitter or whatever. But he's still telling the truth, I don't remember Pac ever acknowledging that the W came from Watts. Cube started using it in 94/95? Westside Slaughterhouse is 95 I think and I don't remember Pac using it until 95/96 so?? not that fit really matters

The problem with this logic is:

1. Pac never said he got it from Cube.

2. Cube is lying about people in his neighborhood doing it.

3. We knew Cube took it from Kam when "Whoop Whoop" dropped in 1997.

So if other people on the West Coast were doing it before Cube....it makes no sense for him to claim credit for it. But he's the same guy that signed off on that bogus ass "Straight Outta Compton" movie so this is par for the course with him. :yeshrug:

That’s what Kam said in a diss song. It’s not gospel. Plus Cube’s hood is on the Westside. He’s been shouting out the Westside since Lethal Injection.

Look man, Cube is a legend and his run up to "The Predator" is incredible.

Having said that, several people accused him of biting/stealing shyt in the late 90's.
Kam, Cypress Hill, King Sun, Volume 10, etc.

When it's that many people I tend to take the accusations more seriously.

I guess Cube could have hit it from Kam like he says but it’s prob more likely that cats in his hood were doing it so he used it. I don’t know how far back we see WC throwin up the W but he grew up around the corner from Cube :manny:

My main point is that I seriously doubt Cube does his own social media.

Cube lying. He grew up in 111 NHC hood that's not their sign
Came in here to say this.

AND...he didn't even bang 111, that's Dub-C's gang. He grew up around the corner. Not even sure he was affiliated.

Hell, Ice Cube never gang-banged at ALL.

This is the part of Cube's legacy that people forget...and I'm a diehard Cube fan.

2pac even said in his mind, when he threw it up on the AEOM cover, it stood for 'War'.
