Westside Connection

For sh- for sure.

But I think that the, the main reason why this question was asked is because there was a huge generational gap between the Cube and Snoop and Westside Connection era, and the modern landscape of LA hip hop.

And none of the OGs were really co-signing anybody.

Name one artist any of them put on that had any mo- moment, momentum whatsoever.

And but, they were, they were signing like '95.

But Kam put him, put him down and took the W chain.

But I might have missed it, but obviously the Westside Connection fallout was pretty not great too.

That, that as well, but it-

Damn.

Well, you don't listen to enough West Side Connection, I guess.

[sighs] Nope, I really don't.

[laughs]

Yeah.

With the ice cubes on the West Side Connection, don't go chasing waterfalls.

Stick to them dick and balls you used to.

Don't

I'm riding with Ice Cube.

And then they had made the West Side Connection albums.

They were really inspired by them.

Their motivation came from the media.

Body Count, There Goes The Neighborhood for you.

Westside Connection-

Yeah

...

And that's the reason why I give it to Cube on No Vaseline.

And also too, there was like, you know, there's one thing with like Royce and D12, but even like Common and Westside connection, because like there's like a loose affiliation between them.

You know what I'm saying? Like, well, Common and Westside ain't really no connection at all.

Royce was just cool with D12, but this is a nigga who was actually a part of the group.

As far as if you want me to stick with Los Angeles, I love Ice Cube.

I loved the West Side Connection.

Um, Los Angeles rappers.

Who else was on there? I was never a big Kendrick Lamar guy.

He said, look, man, I'm getting ready to leave, you know.

What you going to do? You staying? You leaving? What you doing? But it was a good thing that I did leave because that's what allowed MAC-10 to come in and be part of the Westside Connect gang.

That's what allowed that.

So that would have never happened if I would have stayed.

It was Cube and shit.

It's like, "What's up, homie?" He was like, "Uh," 'cause uh, West Side Connection, they was doing ...

He was, they was doing, uh, uh, West Side Connection on Jamie Foxx and shit.

And, um, Cube bounced over to a [censored] like, "Hey." That's when I said, "Okay, all right." I kind of like felt like [sighs] I'm kind of, I'm kind of doing my shit a little bit, you know what I'm saying? Ice Cube, you know what I'm saying, coming over to me, homie, something's gotta be ...

You know, I'm doing something right, you know? But, uh, I felt, I felt ...
