Ice Cube was a guest on The Breakfast Club, on yesterday’s (July 6) episode and spoke with Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee about the status of the much-anticipated Mt. Westmore album.
Around the 18-minute mark of the conversation, Cube said, “We getting our ducks in a row. When we did Fight Club Triller, we had a lot of opportunities coming at us and we had to kind of sift through them and see what was the best route. I believe we figured it out so we getting cocked and loaded. We getting our visuals together because when we hit, we want to keep rolling.”
Cube also confirmed that his former N.W.A cohort Dr. Dre will be rapping on the album, but he’s unsure if he will be contributing any production for the supergroup of West Coast icons Cube, Snoop Dogg, E-40 and Too $hort.
“He rapped on it for sure. [Dre’s] definitely on the verse, but I’m not sure if he gave us any production,” the Don Mega stated.

On Saturday July 3, 2021, the Kushstock Festival went down at the Adelanto Stadium in Adelanto, CA. The weed themed event was a place people to come together to celebrate the marijuana culture and enjoy food, art, music and product booths.

On July 2, Hulu released Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s award-winning documentary Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) on Hulu. While the film officially dropped in theaters on June 25, it received a wider release and placement on a streaming service just one week later. However, it has been generating buzz for most of 2021, seeing how it won two awards at the Sundance Film Festival back in January.
Summer of Soul is about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival in Marcus Garvey Park (then known as Mount Morris Park), which lasted for six weeks. It included appearances from musical icons such as, among others, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight and the Pips, and Sly and the Family Stone. Footage of the event got captured on film (45 hours worth) but then got placed in a basement where it remained unreleased for half a century.
In an interview with IndieWire, Questlove said, “I personally live a life where musical gatherings and musical moments define my life. Being 12 years old in the height of ‘Thriller’ defined my life. Being six years old when ‘Saturday Night Fever’ was at its apex, that defined my life. What would have happened if this was allowed a seat at the table? How much of a difference would that have made in my life? That was the moment that extinguished any doubt I had that I could do this.”
