The Dr. and Ice Cube graced the cover of Rolling Stone magazine! Inside the magazine they open about N.W.A, Detox, and more!

Read below…

ICE CUBE ON THE N.W.A STORY: “You had to see why we did the music. You know, not just ‘we were young, angry ni**as out of South Central,’ but why did we make those kind of records? We were living in the middle of dope dealing, gangbanging, police brutality, fu**ing Reaganomics, and there was nowhere to escape.”

DR. DRE ON DETOX: “I had between 20 and 40 songs for Detox, and I just couldn’t feel it. Usually I can hear the sequence of an album as I’m going, but I wasn’t able to do that. I wasn’t feeling it in my gut. So I really thought I was done being an artist.”

CUBE ON N.W.A’S MISOGYNISTIC LYRICS: “If you’re a bitch, you’re probably not going to like us. If you’re a ho, you probably don’t like us. If you’re not a ho or a bitch, don’t be jumping to the defense of these despicable females. Just like I shouldn’t be jumping to the defense of no punks or no cowards or no slimy son of a bitches that’s men. I never understood why an upstanding lady would even think we’re talking about her.”

DRE ON WHY HE REMAINS OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT: “I have social anxiety. I don’t like being in the spotlight, so I made a fu**ing weird career choice. That’s the reason for my mystique and why I’m so secluded and why everybody knows nothing about me. I think it added to the character in the movie because people get a chance to see behind the curtain.”
