In an interview with AllHipHop.com, Cypress Hill
member B-Real showed his support for fellow West Coast rapper Ice Cube and his stance on local, up and coming rappers. In a recent blog entry, Ice Cube explained that he doesn’t feel it’s his job to help the young, up and coming rappers out of the West Coast.

"He's gotta point man, he don't owe anybody nothing,” B-Real explained. “That's just the reality of it. He doesn't owe them nothing. At the same time, you know, [laughs] it's like, these guys ain't getting no love from the radio, they ain't getting love from nobody. But once and a while we gotta show these guys some love.”

In Cube’s blog, the rapper explained that local Los Angeles
rappers “can't make a name for themselves so they need help from the O/G's. I refuse [to] throw 'em a life line…It ain't my job to make nobody famous.”

B-Real, who has had issues with Ice Cube in the past, went on to explain that Ice Cube paid his dues just like everyone else and didn’t receive any help getting to where he is today.

“He didn't get no hand outs. He had to grind for everything. He had to work for everything he has. From the time he was with NWA to when he left. He had to grind out after that,” said B-Real. “He did that. It wasn't like somebody was like 'Hey Cube, here's your spot, go do your thing.' You know so, I think that's a feeling that he's entitled to."

^ Yeah am sure Ice Cube had 'no help' lmao. For a start, try the producers who made him music. Then try the record label that put trust in him, budgeted him, marketed him etc. And the countless influences around him, musical and otherwise, their advice that helped shape his sound.

People who say I did it by myself, yeah, he got people's attention by himself. But he's not a lone soldier, if it weren't for a lot of other people in life, not just the music bizz, life in general throwing him constant lifelines, he wouldn't be where he is.
