Glasses Malone Addresses Ice Cube Beef Rumors, "As Much As Them Old N*ggas Hate Me, They Respect My Motherf*cking Mind!"

Cash Money Records' Glasses Malone has addressed recent speculation of trying to spark an Ice Cube beef on Twitter today and said he has always paid homage to rap veterans.

From Malone's perspective, Cube has been going after him and West Coast rapper Jay Rock.

"What kills me is how some of the OGS talk sh*t in the press but when the see me face to face.. give me props and say they understand," he wrote. "It aint no beef!!! I see these n*ggas sometimes!! Its all love! yet they slander a n*gga to the blogs! Yet they hate to the DJS Of course they dont wanna see a n*gga like me get it!!! When is the last time they helped a n*gga get it!! Truth is I never asked for Ice Cube's help!!! Not one time!! I never dissed that N*gga either... Get Yo Facts St8!! I'mma REAL ONE ... I heard they said we aint paid dues!! Aint that a b*tch!! I gave up the trap for this sh*t! To have a bunch of n*ggas block me!! ... Ice Cube throws shots at me and Rock in a mag interview!! But I paid homage at the VIP when I met him!!! All these oG n*ggas i see um and pay my respects!!!! yet they get on some bullsh*t with a n*gga!!!! All you other n*ggas who use to push New West can suck OG d*ck all you want!! U aint gon get nuthin, but C*m on your shirt! Cuz as much as them old n*ggas hate me, they respect my muthaf*ckin MIND!!!"

Last March, Glasses said he did not have any problems with Ice Cube.

"I've always stated that I've never had personal problems with Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. Snoop Dogg is one of my favorite rappers and Ice Cube influenced my style. You can hear Ice Cube in my style. I don't think it was ever an issue of me not liking or disrespecting them but I am a competitive dude and I come up under their reign of competitive nature. The veterans are very competitive with each other. Naturally I come in to this business as a competitor, especially if that artist is not responsible for my career. I want to be as dope as Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube, damn it. I didn't get in to this business to be below anybody. That competitive nature on the microphone tends to make me an outcast."

Jay Rock also explained taking the defensive approach when reading recent "New West" comments made by Cube.

"I felt without him saying who he was talking about, that was a slap in the face of all the rappers in L.A. that's been grindin' hard and it confused a lot of fans because they don't know who he talking about and what's going on behind the scenes," he explained in an interview. "Let me clear this up for all the IceCube d*ck riders who feelings got hurt... I'm really a Cube fan and I know he paved the way for n*ggas like me. In my comments I never dissed him. I'm not looking for no attention in that way. I'm on the cover of XXL right now and I've been in every other magazine out. I've had videos on BET and MTV so attention is not what I'm looking for from this. To be real, it's the same thing he was on when he was coming up. Sh*t, the name of his group was 'N*ggas With Attitude.' They spoke up on whatever they was feeling. So why is it so wrong when I say something?"

Cube, writing via a blog entry, called out the emergence of certain new West Coast emcees earlier this year.

"What's up with these local MC's in L.A. who keep disrespecting me? They're just mad cause I don't f*ck with they wack-a**," he wrote. "They ain't on my level, why should I waste my time. I don't even remember ever meeting these clowns or even being in the same room with any of 'em. They can't make a name for themselves so they need help from the O/G's. I refuse the throw'em a life line. F*ck'em. It ain't my job to make nobody famous. And for the record, I ain't scared of no n*gga. Especially, no rappers....seriously people."

Glasses Malone On Suge Knight's "Bad Guy" Image, "This Dude Is A Regular Dude"

With former Death Row Records owner Suge Knight's legal troubles constantly making headlines, SOHH spoke with fellow West Coast rapper Glasses Malone to get the scoop on the rap mogul's "bad guy" image.

From Glasses' perspective, the media over-exaggerates Knight's troubles.

"Suge's a good guy," Glasses explained to SOHH. "Sometimes it just seems so surreal the type of sh*t they say he be doing to people...This dude is a regular dude, like the sh*t that they say this guy be doing, I just can't [believe] another man letting that type of sh*t happen so sometimes I don't even understand it because this guy is a good dude, like, I be seeing dude, you feel me? Always showing the love, like man, 'Do your thing homie.' He's always humble to young n*ggas, he always salutes you and you know, I don't know so sometimes it's hard to believe that he's this bad guy but -- I ain't never seen it firsthand so I can't really talk on the sh*t but he's always been real respectful to me. Like I said, that dude did a lot for the [West] coast, Death Row [Records], period. Who knows where we would have been if we hadn't had Death Row Records."
Last month, Knight was accused of robbing California rapper Yukmouth.

Detective Jeff Briscoe says 35-year-old Jerold Ellis, who uses the name Yukmouth, reported he was talking to Knight on Monday night in a Woodland Hills supermarket parking lot about a debt that another rapper allegedly owes Knight. Yukmouth filed a police report saying 10 other men arrived, knocked him down and took his watch, medallion and other jewelry worth $92,000. He wasn't badly hurt and declined medical treatment. Briscoe says Ellis identified Knight as a suspect but later recanted. However, the stolen items haven't been recovered and the investigation continues.

Suge's "bad guy" image was recently questioned by former Death Row artist Crooked I.

"Suge taught me a lot," Crooked explained in an interview. "He sat me down with Russell Simmons. He sat me down with Lyor Cohen. He sat me down with LA Reid. He sat me down with the bosses who moved this game...All the bosses, they do it the same kinda way, it's just that they was intimidated by the dude...People get intimidated, I don't blame him for that, I blame the person who's intimidated. Why be intimidated? Okay motherf*cker, that's how you wanna come, this is me coming. I don't blame him, it's like, step up motherf*cker...The industry wants me to bad mouth Suge Knight, they want me to. I don't have sh*t to say bad really like that. I made money on Death Row, it launched me to where I'm at, when I walk into the offices at a record company they respect me because they know what I've been through."
Last year, Knight said Glasses was one of the West Coast rappers on the come-up.

"There's a lot of artists I feel aren't really out yet, you got Glasses Malone. Glasses is on his way, same thing with Nipsey Hussle. Nipsey's gonna do well, Glasses is gonna do extremely well. Jay Rock is gonna do well. More importantly, these top guns nobody knows about, I got some sh*t where it feels like it's back to the basics kinda how it is when you feel the music, it's not like so commercial."

Glasses Malone On Dr. Dre's "Detox", "That Sh*t's Real Man"

West Coast rapper Glasses Malone has shared his insight on Dr. Dre's upcoming Detox album and explained why fans should respect the Doc.

According to G. Malone, Dre dropped two instant classics with the 1990's releases Chronic and Chronic 2001.

"That's a big deal man," Glasses assured SOHH. "This dude is a big deal, number one producer of hip-hop ever and possibly one of the baddest motherf*ckers to get on the microphone. That's the biggest deal, that's the biggest deal in hip-hop ever, I don't think there is a record bigger. Like, I think the coolest thing is being around to witness it because the two biggest records in my lifetime that I witnessed and everyone was waiting on it was of course All Eyez On Me when Tupac was getitng out and Lil Wayne's Carter III and now the biggest of all-time is Dr. Dre's Detox...I got in there and checked out a lot of these Detox cuts and it was a cool thing to see. The Detox, that sh*t's real man. That's some real sh*t going on over there. Dre just takes his time man, this is what he do. He's two for two with classics, the first Chronic and 2001 and this will probably be his last record. I'm sure he wants to go three for three. Why not? It takes time."
Chronic 2001 collaborator Devin the Dude recently told SOHH he was ready for a Detox feature.

"I believe the Detox record is going to be very well worth waiting for," Dev told SOHH. "With the upcoming line-up that I heard is gonna be on there, a lot of powerful producers and a lot of very talented artists are on there so it's like fine wine. [laughs] It's like fine wine, man. I'm hoping I get the chance to make the cut but if not, I'll be promoting it just as much as if I was because I appreciate him reaching out to me and having me out there to just give it a shot and see what was going on and he's very excited about it. And everybody pretty much saw that in his eyes and how he moves around and does his thing in the studio and get very creative and get things moving -- so yeah, it's gonna be real cool."
Dre recently said his new single with Jay-Z, "Under Pressure," will likely be released this month.

"Yes, hopefully we'll be releasing ['Under Pressure'] in the next two weeks or so," Dre said in an interview referring to his Jay-Z collaboration. "And I'm definitely gonna be putting the album out this year. Finally, you know, and I think everybody is gonna be happy with it. That's it right now. I'm just trying to finish thisrecord, finally get it done, get it out and start promoting it."
Dre previously admitted the album would likely be delayed until closer to 2011.

A script for another huge push back of the mythical album has been written. Dr. Dre is featured in the Dimedrop section of the March Edition of SLAM Magazine. The interview is mainly about Basketball but as usual, the interviewer Konate Primus couldn't resist asking the producer about the status of the album. "Well, I'm working on it, but also I've been working on other people's projects; you'll probably hear something in a year or so."
