Rumours that the beef between these two power factors from the westcoast started when B-Real played a demo of the Cypress Hill album “Temples of boom” for Ice Cube. According to B-Real Ice Cube took the hook from the track “Throw Your Set In The Air" and used it in the track "Friday" from the soundtrack under the same name. Cypress Hill started this lyrical warfare with the track “No rest for the wicked” from the final and remastered version of “Temples of boom”. Dissin Ice Cube on more than one level with lyrics like;

I got Cube melting in a Tray, Pulling up his card & fucking up his good day!”.

Soon after “Temples of boom” was released Ice Cube recorded a diss back with his partners WC and Mack 10 (Westside Connection) on the group’s first album “Bow Down". On the track “King of the hill”Ice Cube teams up with Mack 10 and disses Cypress Hill as a direct reaction to the track “No rest for the wicked”.” King of the hill was not the only diss track towards Cypress Hill on the album on the track “cross em out and put a k” bust WSC lyrics like;

B-Real and Miss Muggs is like Hollywood bitches From the niggas I know in the streets I run through Swear to god bitch,real it ain't one dog and no(body) So watch what you say,who ya talkin bout,ya tweakin And keep hogs out'cha mouth when ya bitch ass is speakin I'm sick wit it,cappin'cha dome till I hit it This Westside Connection,Cypress know they can't fuck with it

When Cypress hill heard that Mack 10 had joined up with Ice Cube it caused more heat to the now on going beef. Cypress Hill didn’t take long to respond with the track “Ice Cube Killa” or the tracks other name”Fuck Westside connection” which an unreleased track with the same beat as WSC track "king of the hill". Cypress also got hold of a rapper that sounded exactly as Cube to rap on the track so it sounds like Cube is dissin himself on the track, when in reality it is a completely different rapper. Ice Cube’s cousin Kam also got involved in the feud when he felt dissed by Cube. Kam hailing from the east side of Los Angeles felt dissed when Cube was rappin about the Westside on bow down. Kam also dissed Cube on the track "Whoop Whoop" produced by DjPooh. Rumour has that one of Kam’s homie’s beat down Cube on a party and snatched his Westside connection chain. The same chain ending up in B-Real’s hands later on. The beef is now squashed but not totally forgotten and it’s uncertain if the two clicks’ is going to be as tight as there were before the beef.
