I AM THE WEST
I AM THE WEST...is the name of my new record. After completing about 65% of my music, this is the perfect title. This shit is cocky, no apologies, West Coast gangsta shit. I can't help it. That's what I do. June seems too tight for a release, but July is very doable. We'll see how things go. Now that I have my title, I can work on the concept of my photoshoot and artwork. I want to provide early merch before the drop date.
For 7 or 8 years now the West Coast has been trying to do music that appeals to the South and Mid-West. The words, "too West Coast" would be heard throughout the industry whenever our music was played. Even by our own dj's. Left coast MC's were now trying to change their sound to cater to all the followers. We lost our way. Thank God for b-boys like Snoop, The Game & WC for keeping the West alive, but we were all guilty of over reaching. No more. At least not from me. I do it how I feel it; not how I think it should be done. Radio fucked us up. I hate the politics at radio. I don't know who to pay to get my shit played. Having a hot song is not enough. Ridiculous.
I AM THE WEST. It's coming....

Cube thanks for all of your work over the years. I've been a fan every since my older brother played Dopeman for me on a mixed tape he got from his dj homie. I can't wait for another Cube album. I think u hit nail on the head about artist trying to cater to the South or Mid-West. I love it when we had our own sound and was like fuck the rest of the world if they didn't like it. Everyone who came out in the late 80's and early 90's had that attitude and that was when the music was really hot. Oh I have to say this we need a Cube, Dre, and Ren track again y'all need to make it happen.

"I do it how I feel it should be done, not how I think it should be done. Radio is fucked up." - That's free man talk...most people don't understand these simple complications. Much respect Cube, I'm waiting with credit card in hand homie, just as I have been the past 20 years. - ThreeZo
