And I don't think there's nothing wrong.

I thought Mack 10 did...

And I thought Stunna Man did fairly well.

They're really smart execs, you know, really talented MCs and culturally sound.

Mm-hmm.

Um, you know, I'm affiliated, uh, allegedly with the Bloods, right? [laughs] So I've been to different parties, man, where we, we would play DJ Quik and Mack 10 all night, but when the Eastsiders came on, everybody's up.

When Cam come on, everybody's up.

Cam got love.

...

Mack 10, Ice Cube.

I watched Ice Cube rock for two hours at NRG, and he didn't rap over one track.

Mm.

Everyone, get organized.

Yeah, Room Seven was, uh, original was, um, Mack 10 from the, the Westside Connection, the, the West Coast s-singer.

Then my friend, uh, my bandmate, uh, Hanzor, his name is Acidic Acid.

We have, like, own Acid name because we name ourselves, uh, our band as Acid, and Hanzor was Acidic.

And another guy in US named Black Acid.

I chose the name Smoke Acid.

So Hanzor wa-was chosen the song Mack 10, or he like a gangster styles of like a Crip walking styles of like music, so he chose that one, and they wrote it, like, that was the time, like, 1997.

So, like, uh, so we were so, like, into it to, to that song because at the time, at that music was so popular.

Ice Cube and them was just there, and I was, since you're talking about groups, um, two weekends ago Ice Cube and WC, I don't know if y'all know, WC is like damn near Ice Cube hype man, you know, they got hits together.

Nevertheless, though, I don't know if y'all know, Ice Cube and Mack 10 been feuding years, eon, decades.

So-

I was not privy to that

... yeah, so they're beefing because Mack 10 and I guess, uh, um, Ice Cube brother-in-law got into it years ago.

And of course him being loyal to his wife Kim, Ice Cube like, "Hey, man, I ain't fucking with this nigga Mack 10," yada, yada, yada.

So that's basically why Westside Connection broke up.

Now, I say that to say that fast-forward a couple weeks ago, Mack 10, I mean, I'm sorry, Ice Cube and WC was on stage, and then basically they were pushing a olive branch, especially WC.

To me, gangster rap was whether you a hustler, a pimp, a drug dealer, if you handle your business and don't use the police, that's gangster, right? But then Snoop and them kind of like embodied gangster gangbanging rap.

And that kind of came up with Mack 10 and all them.

They were gangbanging.

But you don't hear me.

Before y'all ever talk to me about hip hop.

Mack 10 is from a group called West Side Connection.

West Side Connection is a super group with Mack 10, Dub C, Ice Cube.

They have a hit called Bow Down.

It sounds exactly...
