Ice cube Left N.W.A in December 1989 due to financial issues. the remaining group members fired the first shots by insulting Ice cube on two album they recorded after his departure. on 100 Miles and Runnin, Dr.dre told the public : it started with five but one couldnt take it so now theres four cause the fifth couldnt make it the members even and now im leaving.
on efil4zaggin, the group called Ice cube "Benedict Arnold", after the notorious traitor of the american Revolutionary War.
N.W.A. further insulted Ice cube on the album by claiming he was "...sucking new york d", a direct reference to Ice cube new production team, the new york-based bomb squad. they also made a reference to cubes september 1990 incident with ruthless Records then-current act Above the Law, saying that he "got ass beat by ATL." on these albums, N.W.A. dedicated entire tracks insulting and attacking ice cube.cube first solo album Amerikkkas most wanted made no direct response to the N.W.A. feud , although he did use the album to make subtle reference to his old crew. the closest to a response cube mounted on the first album was flavor flavs exhortation at the end of the song im only out for one thangs. ("this is for my boy ice cube, yo, stay off his d!"). on the Ep kill at will, released later the same year, cube set the stage for his response on the track "jakin fo beats". At the end of his track he includes the exclamation: And if i jack you and you keep comin, i'll have you marks a 100 miles and Running!
in 1991, ice cube took the fight to the big screen in his first feature film starring role, in boyz N the hood. according to movie director john singleton, cube suggested changes to one scene in particular where a chain snatcher is beaten up by neighborhood teens. cube's recommendation was to have the thief wear a we want Eazy sweatshirt singleton originally wanted the members of N.W.A. for cube's entourage which was recast.
on his second album, death certificate, Ice cube fired back at his former group by realising the song "no vaseline,".
proclaiming N.W.A. to be "phonies" and declaring Eazy-E to be a "snitch". this referenced a publicity stunt Eazy-E pulled in attending a fundraising luncheon with then-president George H.W. Bush. in the song he repeated the line "i never have dinner with president." He also made remark about N.W.A manager jerry Heller that were instantly declared anti-semitic, including "you can't be the niggaz 4 life crew/ with white jew/ telling you what to do", "you let a jew break up my crew", and "get ride of that devil. real sample/ put a bullet in his temple."
