Although Cube himself has claimed that none of the lines in this track are directed at any rapper in particular, it really seems like he’s taking shots at his once partner in crime, Dr. Dre. Dre is constantly criticized for delaying his Detox project repeatedly.

If the line is in fact a knock at Dre, it would mean that Cube his putting himself on a higher pedestal for not taking such extended breaks from music, like Dre.

Ice Cube wasnt dissing Dre or Em.. check out the article

I met Dr. Dre in the studio last night. When I got there Snoop was in the booth laying the finishing touches on another classic from the dynamic duo. He played me some tracks set for the up and coming Detox record and we talked about me jumping on board the project. Of course I talked about him doing shit on my record and he said he’d bless the album. The Game came through ready to spit but Dre just wanted every to vibe. It felt like old times when me and Dre would work on shit in Eazy’s cold ass garage.

He asked me did I diss him during the Paid Dues Show last Saturday. I did one of my new songs called “Drink The Kool-Aid" which got everybody thinking I’m dissing the whole industry lol. You internet roaches. I told Dre that I’d never diss the man that got me started.
