Ice Cube Denies Dr. Dre Diss in 'Drink the Kool-Aid'

Ice Cube has generated a lot of controversy as he pieces together his new record 'I Am the West,' particularly on a track called 'Drink the Kool-Aid' where he airs out a lot of his music industry hatreds. Yet one big relationship on the mend is between Cube and former NWA partner Dr. Dre. In a report from the studio last night, Ice Cube talked about getting it in with the legendary producer, jumping on Dre's 'Detox' and getting Dre to work on his new record.

"I met Dr. Dre in the studio last night," wrote Ice Cube. "When I got there Snoop was in the booth laying the finishing touches on another classic from the dynamic duo. He played me some tracks set for the up and coming 'Detox' record and we talked about me jumping on board the project. Of course I talked about him doing s--- on my record and he said he'd bless the album. The Game came through ready to spit but Dre just wanted every[body] to vibe. It felt like old times when me and Dre would work on s--- in Eazy's cold ass garage."

Apparently, Dre asked Cube if 'Drink the Kool-Aid' was supposed to be a diss towards him. On that track, Cube raps, "I ain't the doctor/ This ain't the patient/ This ain't that n---- always on vacation," but he was careful to explain that those lines weren't a reference to Dre at all.

"He asked me did I diss him during the 'Paid Dues' show last Saturday," Cube said of playing the track in question.. I told Dre that I'd never diss the man that got me started."

It never ceases to amaze me how the media has a way of sparking controversy, especially when it comes to the world of hip-hop and rap. I have been a fan of both Dr. Dre and Ice Cube (love this man!!!) since NWA first came out...these guys have to much history, to much maturity, to much respect for each other and to much class to fall into the category the media wants them to portray...I commend them both for solving the issue before it got out of hand. These guys have earned the respect they deserve...let's not taint it or turn it into some "hip-hop" rivalry by playing into the negativity the media reports. I respect them for their crafts, for their dedication to doing something they love and sharing it with me. I don't know about anyone else but I only have love and respect for these guys. They are positive examples and should be treated as such!

Lets not always blame the media for every damn thing. Look at the line from the song..."I ain't the doctor/ This ain't the patient/ This ain't that n---- always on vacation," Stevie Wonder could see that was a reference to Dre not being as busy as one would think a producer of his caliber should be. Its not like those two have never had beef before(NWA vs Cube and Cube smashed them on No Vaseline). I too am glad to see them talk it out like men and agree to put in work together, but lets not be so quick to dismiss a very real line from a song as a media driven controversy. Where there is smoke you will usually find fire. Im just keepin it 100.
