Ice Cube Explains Dr. Dre’s I Am the West Absence (Video)

Ice Cube chops it up with MTV about the absence of Dr. Dre on his upcoming album, I Am the West, dropping September 28th.

I didn’t get a chance to work with Dre on this record. He’s been M.I.A. for two to three months now. But I don’t feel bad, because Snoop can’t find him either. I think, really, it’s because people expect so much from him. People expect, when Dre does a record, it [will] change the trajectory of music. Not just be an album and it come out and be good. It has to come and take us in a different direction. And that’s a lot of pressure.

Hit the jump for the revised tracklist.

02 Soul On Ice
03 Life In California f. Jayo Felony & WC
04 She Couldn’t Make It On Her Own f. Doughboy & OMG

  1. I’ve completely given up on Detox. Then again, I was fool for getting a little hype.
