FIRST TIME listening to ICE CUBE - "No Vaseline" REACTION 

A goth chick listening to Ice Cube diss to NWA love it😂

Rule number one, never diss the songwriter lol

The N.W.A. was done after this they never came back after diss track. Ice Cube bodied an entire group with this one track.

One of the best diss tracks ever

Ice Cube spitting fire and true facts.

Ice Cube’s solo albums in the early 90s Death Certificate and The Predator are hardcore af, definitely mellowed quite a lot since lol

I remember putting this on a loop the first time I heard it. The whole theater lost their minds when we were watching Straight Outta Compton and this scene popped up

This was Ice Cube's diss track in response to the N.W.A. track '100 miles and running' ... Ice Cube didn't say anything at his former group on his first solo album and was miffed when they dissed him. The issue w/ N.W.A. was that Eazy-E was the guy who put his money into the group and found success making his imprint Ruthless Records... In his mind, he was getting his due back for his investment once the group was successful. Jerry Heller was a manager from the 70's but his roster of artists were running dry in the 80's cos they were not making money... He saw N.W.A. as an opportunity to promote music that he felt would be as 'important as the birth of rock n roll' ... and he was right. He helped Eazy-E get Ruthless a major distribution and N.W.A. a foot in the music industry. The problem was that Jerry Heller, like most 70's (and 80's) managers, ran his business in rather unfair terms to the artists - they treated band and groups like paid employees while taking a lion's share of the profits they made... It was what turned artists against them and many bands found themselves broke because managers and labels had ripped them off... And like most managers, Heller gravitated towards Eazy-E (since he was the guy funding N.W.A. and ran the business side) and made sure that he was getting paid the most while the others were just getting a paycheck. Heller also manipulated the members of N.W.A. to keep control of the group to his advantage; another common tactic used by managers. The way Jerry Heller looked at N.W.A. was that everyone was a replaceable employee - and that was not the case... Dr. Dre and Ice Cube were the most valuable talent in the group... Heller drew up standard contracts for N.W.A. members that gave them a huge ca$h advance and they signed willingly. But Ice Cube was suspicious and discovered that the advance was a small fraction of the money N.W.A. was making ($10K for each member out of 1 Million $$$ profit was rather lop-sided) ... Ice Cube refused to sign and demanded a fair share... Eazy-E and Jerry Heller refused; he would sign the contract or he was out... Ice Cube bailed and got his own record contract and solo album out. With Ice Cube having a hit solo album, N.W.A. were seething w/ jealousy and disapproval... and that fueled the animosity. They dissed Ice Cube... so, he responded w/ 'No vaseline' on his 2nd solo album. By 1991, Dr. Dre discovered that he was not getting paid fairly for his contributions and Ice Cube was right - the contract he had signed was financially unfair... He demanded Eazy-E give him a better contract but Eazy refused. Dr. Dre stopped working and made plans to bail himself and form a new label but his contract w/ Ruthless Records was in the way.... That was when Suge Knight offered to handle his predicament - Suge allegedly went to Eazy-E and got violent w/ him to sign a contractual release for Dr. Dre... Without Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, there was no N.W.A. and by 1993, Ruthless Records was in decline as Ice Cube was a successful solo rapper and Dr. Dre launched Death Row records w/ Suge Knight and made Million$... while Eazy-E was downsizing fast. According to Eazy's wife Tomika, she discovered that as Ruthless Records was in financial decline, Jerry Heller was taking money to profit his bottom line and she claimed that Eazy-E finally let Heller go... N.W.A. talked about reconciling without Heller involved and making a 3rd album by 1995 but Eazy-E died from AIDS soon after.

Lilly Jane really understood the assignment! Your interpretation of that intro was spot on and was really the strength of that diss track!

Love the way she started grooving to the beat. Her facial expressions were priceless.

Cube was savage as FxxK! There's good reason why this track was so funny. Cube is an incredible lyricist. Cube is a modern day poet and 2Pac was also an incredible poet. They both paint the scene so you can picture what is happening with or without music videos.

I am down for this whole early 90s west coast exploration.

There's a lot of songs from the 90's that will blow your mind

Im loving this generation starting to acknowledge the hip hop from the golden era. Major salute

You've just come up in my RU-vid algorithm and your reaction was interesting. No Vaseline was so savage back in the day. I was 17 when he dropped that one. I don't know if you've seen/heard Tupac's 'Hit 'em Up' yet, but that's another great Diss track.

This diss track made a very important lesson. Don’t diss the guy who writes all the songs for the group

Almost 40 yrs later and No Vaseline still cuts to the bone

I haven't heard this in years! Thanks, homegirl! ✌️☝️🫶

Dopeman by NWA is a must listen. Ice Cube and Eazy E basically breaking down what the crack era was in a song 🔥

Ice Cube went hard on this, spitting out some venom. Cube is one of my absolute favourite rappers as he could really hit hard, especially on his early albums with my favourite being The Predator from 1992 which topped the Billboard, Hip Hop and R&B charts all at the same time. He got screwed when in N.W.A. and he let them know about it good and proper with this diss track. One thing about this Ice Cube, he doesn't melt LOL

Awesome pick Lily top 3 disses of all time great vid!!!!💯💯😁👏

I like these videos of tha new kids listening to old stuff, lol. Glad thery are digging in tha crates to find good quality music.

This is the best Lilly reaction ever!

Listen to ice cube it was a good day or Tupac hit em up won’t be disappointed

Ice Cube is a ledged that can make you feel his words in every track he wrote. E-40 is another legendary lyricist who did the same thing in his story telling.

Cube smashed n. W. A. Like HARD

Good job again. Glad you enjoye your work.

So cute with the “white girl head bop”. 🥰

Ice Cube's catalog is phenomenal! He has so many tracks that are bangers! Many of which are much too graphic to have ever been played mainstream!

Hell Yeah, one of the greatest siss tracks of all time!

you don’t know how long i’ve been waiting for you to react to this song, thank you 💯

I remember thinking what made this even more brutal was that this was on his SECOND album. He kept his cool on the first one, but then they should have left him alone, but instead NWA dissed him on their first album without him. NWA weren't just the subject of this diss track, but they asked for it, when they should have just kept thier mouths shut.

My all time favorite ice cube is When Will They Shoot, very political and racial but yet lyrics are awesome and not to mention the beat in the background. It's Queen's we will rock you. ❤❤❤ hopefully you react to this, rarely does anyone react to it. Love your channel and reactions.

Rap isn't my bag, but this shit was fucking great. This man literally crushed their souls here. Respect.

Ice Cube wrote this in 70 minutes when he was really pissed off

Gotta LOVE ICE CUBE!!!! Just so VICIOUS.

This was such a fun time in hip hop.

The Roots line with MC Ren went over your head but its basically a slave innuendo

Loved sharing this with a newbie to No Vaseline!!! It's been on my workout lifting playlist for 30 plus years...only gets better!!! Enjoy and thanks for sharing!!!

"Its on" by Eazy

All of those snippets of songs in the intro were songs he wrote and performed on with NWA. It was his way of listing the receipts of how much of NWA's success was reliant on him. Also, you could make a case that Ice Cube's No Vaseline was the greatest diss record in Rap History.

This is a song I play regularly. Not for kicks, but because it is a genuinely good song.

This and Tupac Hit 'Em is the best diss tracks ever.

Diss to NWA the hardest diss track ever… *very creative* why goth chick listening to this tight shXt

Marilyn's employee says: You looked confused when Cube brought up Kunta Kinte and Toby. It's from the show called Roots. About slavery, Kunta Kinte was the main character, whose new owner named him Toby.

One of my favorite old school rap songs that I feel like doesn’t get enough love is “I tried” by the Geto Boys

😂 I love these this is so cute play your reactions are priceless. You can actually remind your parents how messed up they were😂😂😂

She was so lost when he mentions Kunta Kinte and gotta whip for you Toby! When that line hit, it was deep!

Lmao are we there yet was Hollywood... this is the Real CUBE 😂

yes! i love you!

Never forget, Ice Cube was a coddled kid who did not go to the Compton high school, was not in a gang and his mom bussed him to the good school on the other side of the county LOL.

Keep it up girl. I like your study of the culture.

Eazy e wut would you do (death row diss) is one of my favourite

The best dis track ever closely followed by 2 Pac hit em up

hit em up 2pac

Hit em up

You definitely need to check out more NWA! If you are trying to continue with Dre and Snoop though you need to checkout “The Next Episode” and “Nuthin’ but a G thang”. Both songs are with them and are great!

Tupac recorded Hit Em Up around the timeline in the movie Straight Outta Compton

LOVE YOUR REACTION LJR,

She just expected a diss song but just found a cemetery on this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s awesome how every little secret is coming to light

I've been waiting for this one.

Hell yes love me some ice cube funny enough the only diss track I know of the no one ever responded to

Cube destroyed them so badly they didn't even bother responding and just faded into obscurity.

this was a predecessor to the best rap album of all time, death certificate. as a white dude myself, i need to see other white folks react to this. keep up the good work

Dis rap was huge, these guys pioneered it. It's like Wrestling, the bigger the shock the more the crowd loves it. Ain't no real beef, it's just business.

You should listen to Ice Cubes '' it was a good day'' that's one of my favorites

Hit Em Up is another great diss track, second only to this one

This song was responding to 100 Miles And Running and Always Into Something which weren’t really full diss tracks but had little swipes at Ice Cube in them. Dre Day is the song Eazy E was responding to with Real MF G’s

saw Ice Cube in concert last month.. best show i’ve ever seen. a pissed off Cube = great lyrics

Another great reaction video. I know you like the emotionally songs! Do me a favor and react to "MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA - THE SILENCE Live " This one will make you suffer. Stay safe Lilly

This was Ice Cube's response to NWA's Real Niggaz where they diss Ice Cube. No Vaseline became the best diss song in history.

You know what's sad, we will never hear diss tracks this savage like this again. Remember this was the 90s, rappers had no filter. Diss tracks like no Vaseline or hit em up wouldnt fly today.

This is and was the best Diss track !!

You need to do Dr Dre & Ice Cube - Natural Born Killaz next

Snoop ‘What’s my Name’

here🔥🔥🔥

Cube is and always will be a genius 😂 best diss track

Love your reactions my friend ❤️💯

Ice Cube went solo in 89 and outsold every NWA album combined.

U killin that shirt lol but ya, one of the greatest disses ever

Ice Cube never dies

You should listen to natural born killers with him, and Dr. Dre, everyone forgets that as she was a hard-core gangster growing up

I respect that you did your homework before going in. Salute 🫡

Ice Cube was my favorite rapper growing up

You right I lived through it cube was the man at the time

"Mutha fugg dre mutha fugg snoop, mutha fugg death row!!"

your reaction to where cube started in the industry and how he talked back then is the same as my moms when she found out ice-t from her law n order show was a rapper

I love all your reacts brahh thankyou so much

Very nice reaction!👍

Notorious Big has a song called Kick In The Door. I think this is a disstrack toward 2pac

This is called getting out of the cave.

This is one of my top 5 Diss tracks ever!!! one of my favourite old school rap records that were under rated was Ice T - The Tower or Ice T - midnight!!

Man, there's so much more you're not able to relate to and to live in L. A. during the time. It was crazy because the West Coast was finally being represented and the truth of what happens in our lives.

Ice cube wrote this diss in 90 min💪🏾☠️ legend

Cube is one of the most talented human beings on earth

"Are we there yet?" was good. You need to checkout Friday, Next friday and Friday after next

This was always playing in my WALKMAN lol🥰🥰

I saw them in concert in 91 or 92. Damn I’m old😂😂😂

Love your reactions
