your opinion on ice cube\common beef ?

[caff]

Common's Verse
Now periodically I would see
ol girl at the clubs, and at the house parties
She didn't have a body but she started gettin thick quick
DId a couple of videos and became afrocentric
Out goes the weave, in goes the braids beads medallions
She was on that tip about, stoppin the violence
About my people she was teachin me
By not preachin to me but speakin to me
in a method that was leisurely, so easily I approached
She dug my rap, that's how we got close
But then she broke to the West coast, and that was cool
Cause around the same time, I went away to school
And I'm a man of expandin, so why should I stand in her way
She probably get her money in L.A.
And she did stud, she got big pub but what was foul
She said that the pro-black, was goin out of style
She said, afrocentricity, was of the past
So she got into R&B hip-house bass and jazz
Now black music is black music and it's all good
I wasn't salty, she was with the boys in the hood
Cause that was good for her, she was becomin well rounded
I thought it was dope how she was on that freestyle shit
Just havin fun, not worried about anyone
And you could tell, by how her titties hung

Ice cube's verse
It's the dog breathen through the smog
I'm a hog of this gangster shit
Don of the click
All you suckas want to dis the pacific
But you buster niggas never get specific
Used to love her mad cause we fucked
Her pussy whipped bitch with no common sense
Hip Hop started in the west
Ice Cube bailin' through the east without a vest

Common's on Ice Cube


(Yeah, for your nation...
for your nation...)

Verse One:

A bitch nigga wit an attitude named Cube
Step to Com wit a feud
Now what the fuck I look like dissing a whole coast
You ain't made shit dope since AmeriKKKa's Most
Wanted to cease from the Midwest to the East
On the dick of the East for your 1st release
Your lease is up at the crib, house niggaz get evicted
And videos wit white boys talking you get Wicked
Natural Born Killa, nigga you natural born God
Look, read listen, got the nerve to say you rob
Hyprocrite, I'm filling out your Death Certificate
Slanging bean pies and St Ide's in the same sentence
Shoulda repented, on the 16th of October
Get some beats besides George Clinton to rock over
Rap career is over, better off acting
What trouble I see, you're managing WC and Wack 10
You backed in to a four corner hustla
Lying on your dick, said you was fuckin her
Use Higher Learning, don't take my words out of text
Went from gangsta to Islam to the dick of Das EFX
It'll take the Nation of Millions to Hold Me Back
From giving you mouth shots or hit wit the pipe Ralph got
When sucker ain't around, it's your Friday, it was good
I wasn't salty, she was wit the Boyz N the Hood

Chorus:

I see the bitch in you when you don't speak your mind
The bitch in you, looking me in my eyes lyin
I see the bitch in you, simply hard, you find
The bitch in you but yo it's coming out

Verse Two:

Up on this rap shit, Cube, I'm calling out
I break in and smack niggaz that's in the Slaughterhouse
This ain't no East coast, West coast, none of the above
I'm from Chi, I went to Cali, niggaz gave me love
There's a thin line between the fake and the real
Grafted ass nigga, I see through your Glass Shield
Had skills once upon a time on this project, yo
I'm a have ta wreck a Ho'shea
I heard a ho say you her favorite rapper
(So what) so I had to slap her, ugn
And violate you, a Muslim drinking brew
Your nigga ain't no Mack 10, he's a 22
I seen you, you ain't say shit to ATL
Cube, I like that diamond charm, I might cuff it, then sell
It out, like you sold Kam and Threat
A year ago, you wasn't talking shit about the West
Guess you knew you're shit was done plus the one got you cable
Hoo Bangin, you ain't banging shit but the table
And the Circle Madd, ain't got no choice but to fight
Ain't none of y'all muthafukas got a chance on the mic
Anytime you come out, yo, I'm a talk about you
Until you let that bitch in you, walk up out you
Any last words before I hit the switch
From the immortal words of one, a bitch is a bitch

Chorus

did ice cube reponse to common "bitch in you" ?

 

[sav-man]

did ice cube reponse to common "bitch in you" ?

Technically speaking, no. The closest thing to any real response was Cube's verse on the Westside Connection's "Hoo Bangin" track from BOW DOWN, and all he basically said was "I'm bombin' on Common Sense, Chicago is mine, nigga, hit the fence!"

Cube said in several interviews that he, Mack 10 and WC were going to make a song exclusively devoted to dissing Common, but Cube and Common squashed it at a hip-hop summit in Chi-town sponsored by the Nation of Islam before any such song came out (although one story I read said that one of those huge FOI dudes reportedly grabbed both of them by their arms, and said, "shake hands! NOW!!!" LMFAO!).

As far as what I thought about it, I love Cube as much as the next man, but a lot of what Common said in "I See The Bitch In You" was on point (although I don't agree w/ the line "you haven't made shit dope since AMERIKKKA'S MOST." Evidently, Common didn't hear DEATH CERTIFICATE or THE PREDATOR).

PEACE!

Nostril Queen ya faggot ass don't know shit about Cube and Common so fuck you!

 

[Sydal]

WestSide Connections song WESTSIDE SLAUGHTERHOUSE was about Common!! Go cop that DVD called BEEF, talks all about that shit.

 

[sav-man]

what was their beef about ? why did common made that diss track ? I knew that they had sum beef but I still don't know what was the reason for it ?

Common did a song called "I Used To Love H.E.R.", which used a woman as a metaphor for Hip Hop. Common said that he loved "her" when she was new ('80s' Old School) and later, when she got conscious (Afrocentric Rap), but when she went to the West Coast and got hard (Cali Street Rap), he wasn't loving her much anymore, because she's "letting all these goofies (?!?) do her" and "she only fucks with the Funk."

Cali Rap during the mid-'90s was in its' prime and was outselling NY Rap by a lot. Many so-called purists took the prejudiced attitude that Cali "ruined" the "purity" and "beauty" of Hip Hop simply because Cali rappers were telling the truth about crime on the streets, as opposed to doing NY boast-type raps or consciousness music. Cube said (on BET and in several interviews) that Common's song came off to him, Mack and Dub as a "diss" to Cali, which was why they did "Westside Slaughterhouse."

Common, for his part, told RAP SHEET that he did not intend "I Used To Love H.E.R." to be a diss to ALL Gangsta/street Rap (Common acknowledged that he had been a huge fan of N.W.A. and C.M.W., among others). He claimed that he was only criticizing the "phonies" who had jumped on the Cali street rap bandwagon to sell, whereas before they might have done some other kind of rap. He said that he saw "I See The Bitch In You" as just having fun (like the old NY style battle raps of the '80s') and claimed that he had no real personal malice toward Cube. Take that as you will...

PEACE!

I don't know if it was a single, but to my knowledge, the only CD that it appeared on was a compilation called RELATIVITY URBAN ASSAULT. It was a comp containing songs from various artists who were signed to and/or affiliated w/ Relativity Records during the '95/'96 period, Common included (Fat Joe, Dru Down, etc).

I'm not sure if it's still in print...type in the title on the Internet (or maybe Amazon.com) and see what you come up with...

PEACE!

I tried to get it but it seems like the cd's out of stock. Anyway thanks for your help sav-man. I think I'll try to download the track.
