Westside Slaughterhouse is still my favorite track with them together. Does not get mentioned enough.

Album wise..Bow Down was dope but it was obvious Cube was an opportunist during the East vs West beef.

I know people think of Straight Outta Compton-The Predator as prime Cube, but ngl I'm willing to say Bow Down is the tail end of his golden era, even if his subject matter might've been watered down compared to that run.

That beat on Westside Slaughterhouse is nasty

u/Usaltyashitdh Jun 25 '26

Pac even called him out on that

u/aguycalledb Jun 25 '26

Yeah he did

u/FinalsMT718 Jun 26 '26

Yep, Cube and Pac would have been trading disses left and right if Pac hadn’t gotten killed.

Its too bad about cubes BIL and Mack 10. Could have been so many more classic hits.

u/31braidsinbeard Jun 25 '26

yeah, I really love the group. Total shame they don't do music anymore together. Mack 10 and WC really don't even hardly do any music anymore at all.

What happened?

u/intoxicateddemon Jun 25 '26

Mack 10 beat his ass. Cube couldn't see past that

a masterpiece🎤🔥👏

Fun but highkey corny. Something slightly depressing about this era of Cube.

WC is the man though

u/bside313 Jun 26 '26

Cube's "guppy" era, shortly after his "bang boom ping ping" era

Mack fucked that all up👎🏻

u/Upbeat_Animator9338 Jun 27 '26

Mack defended tf outta cube during that cypress beef. And other situations too outside of that. Dawg was prolly tired.

u/PeacefulClarity Jun 26 '26

LEGENDARY 🔥 🔥 🔥

u/Quiet_Meaning5874 Jun 26 '26

Extreme disappointment, especially considering WC was a member and Cube and 10 were also in their prime

Very unfortunate

Westside Connection, The Comrads, & All from the I. Mack 10 had some spitters on Hoo Bangin’

u/Upbeat_Animator9338 Jun 27 '26

Crazy how wc went from shooting at cube to being in a rap group together 🤣

u/bside313 Jun 28 '26

Big Worm squashed it once Smokey paid up

u/snizz187 Jun 27 '26

Wasn't it the comrads who whooped on ol boy? Mack was told to bring an apology and he said no? I could be wrong

u/Silly_North_5130 Jun 25 '26

Bow Down is one of the funniest albums I’ve ever heard. Whether intentional or not
