Ice Cube Denies Dr. Dre Diss

Rap legend Ice Cubehas cleared up the confusion about references he makes toward artists like Dr. Dre on his forthcoming LP, I Am The West.

Cube insists that what he says shouldn't be taken as a diss.

He told MTV News US: "To me, it’s styling and finesse, that's where I come from. It's a lot of MCs out there, it's not dissing them.

"I guess when you mention these MCs that are at the top of the game and you mention yourself in there, you letting people know you on top of your game too.

“It's on that tip. It's just fresh, fly-a** lines. I couldn't let them go once I thought of them; I had to write them down. But it's not dissing."
