*Ice Cube (real name O’Shea Jackson Sr.) is not here to compete against those he views as industry greats. During an appearance on the Bootleg Kev Podcast alongside fellow #MountWestmore members #TooShort and #E40, the #NWA veteran discussed why he declined invitations to compete against #LLCoolJ and #Scarface in #Verzuz battles and how he had a different idea in mind.
Ice Cube said, “I think they was talking LL at one point, they was talking Scarface at one point. I said, ‘No.’ Verzuz is good, but my concept would have been, ‘Yo, I’m a fan. You do this song for me.’ Like, okay, I get to have LL do my favorite LL songs and he gon’ have me do my favorite Ice Cube songs.”
He continued, “And it’s not Verzuz, but it’s love. It’s like, ‘Yo, do this, and he do ‘Rock the Bells,’ and he asks me, ‘Yo, do ‘Once Upon a Time in the Projects.’ That would have been my concept.”
The rapper/actor made it clear that his decision not to participate in the battle was not influenced by the competition itself, but by the fact that he isn’t interested in competing against people he respects and cares deeply about. Ice Cube added, “I can’t go against people I admire. LL is an OG to me in the game, so I can’t see it. Me and Scarface love each other, but we don’t communicate enough to do a Verzuz together…”
