It was interesting seeing Cube on Bob Costas a few years back, and was asked about these race records in particular. Cube waved it off as being young and stated that he doesn't feel that way anymore.

It's crazy how we went from addressing racism head on and putting white folks on front street to jay-z caping for Barney's (white corporate america) and throwing Black folks under the bus. Times sure have changed.


Cube hocking Coors light. Nas co signing the closeted racists at Rapgenius.com.

Cube gets a pass for Coors Light because when he was getting at white folks in his prime he was also promoting St Ides heavy.


Nas on teh other hand lost me when he put the cape on for Gwenth Pawltrow giving her a pass for her "N*gga" comment on twitter, refering to her as a 'real n*gga" and saying he'd slap someone for her. It was like he spat in the face of everything he said on the Untitled album

em went at x clan? I missed that ish..

He brought them up in the song Yellow Brick Road...an XXl interview and Rolling Stones.....Thats 3 times he mentions X Clan but never mentions Cube who was bigger. This was intertwined with his excuse as to why he had those racist tapes.... I say Em was full of sh*t becaue Cubes words were louder for Em to just side step and point the finger at X Clan


Here's the quote from Rolling Stones:
I loved the X-Clan’s first album [To the East, Blackwards, 1990]. Brother J was an MC that I was afraid of lyrically. His delivery was so confident. But he also made me feel like an outcast. Callin' us polar bears. Even as militant as Public Enemy were, they never made me feel like, “You’re white, you cannot do this rap, this is our music.” The X-Clan kinda made you feel like that, talking [on “Grand Verbalizer, What Time Is It?”] about “How could polar bears swing on vines of the gorillas?” It was a slap in the face. It was like, you’re loving and supporting the music, you’re buying the artist and supporting the artist, you love it and live it and breathe it, then who’s to say that you can’t do it? If you’re good at it and you wanna do it, then why are you allowed to buy the records but not allowed to do the music? That was the pro-black era — and there was that sense of pride where it was like, if you weren’t black, you shouldn’t listen to hip-hop, you shouldn’t touch the mike




now according to Em that Grand Verbalizer song was more offensive then:


Ease back white bytch

Soon as daddy found out you a jigaboo
He'll kill like he did Emmitt Till

white bytches have no butt and no chest

yo ass too flat
I need a butt big enough that can clap

I'd rather phuck an albino
Atleast I know, she's comin' from the Nubian
And not the Ku Klux Klan that you be in
And I don't give a fukk if your family is rich
You're still a little cave bytch

I was :ohhh: and wondered how the f*ck did Ice Cube get away with this song while no white folks in music industry tried to shut him down? but at the same time I wasn't surprised cause he did on Horny Lil' Devil, etc. I wonder if Elizabeth Hurley felt uncomfortable around Ice Cube in the movie scenes?

The holy trinity of hip hop consciousness in my crib late 80's early 90's......Cube, KRS, Chuck. Them cats could do no wrong in my house.

LI was a 1st day $7.99 copp at Musicland. Me and my brother played the intro to Cave bytch for pops KNOWIN that was Khalid with that ether. Pops couldn't hold it before Cube even spit a verse, was fukkin dyin.He went and played the intro for my mama.

She hit us all with the :salute:

Personally, this hip hop shyt was a family affair at the time......real spit.

I wonder what some white posters thought when they first heard "Cave B*tch."

Didn't think much of it honestly because anyone with half a brain should've been able to separate Ice Cube the man from what he was saying on wax. I felt like he was voicing an opinion, same as on "Black Korea" or "Us". I didn't believe he had a deep-seated hatred for white women any more than I believed he moved to Missouri to sell crack on "My Summer Vacation", or went to jail on "The Product".

Obviously he was interacting with white people in some capacity....he worked with Lyor Cohen and was close friends with Mc Serch and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Not to mention he originally wanted Sam Sever to produce "Amerikkka's Most Wanted".

So I dunno. I was 17 when that album dropped, I was too old to take everything rappers said at face value, or be :ohhh: if they said something offensive.

Fred.

When I heard it, that shyt made me go on a black power phase of my life when I saw EVERYTHING on a racist light. I love the early 90s because it was pro black and made me feel good to be black.
