The Treacherous Three was a pioneering hip hop group that was formed in 1978 and consisted of DJ Easy Lee, Kool Moe Dee, L.A. Sunshine, Special K and Spoonie Gee (who left in the late 1970s), with occasional contributions from DJ Dano B, DJ Reggie Reg and DJ Crazy Eddie.
They inspired many of the greatest MC’s of all time so this could be a continuation from the last line and Ice Cube could be sating that if he wasn’t here to inspire you, where the fuck would you be?

I think Ice Cube is saying that if it weren’t for Ice Cube putting the hardcore “gangsta” element and curse words in Hip Hop, rappers would still be doing the “fun” bubblegum old school party raps like the Treacherous Three.

The hammer and sickle (☭) are a part of communist symbolism and their usage indicates an association with communism, a communist party, or a communist state. This symbol features a hammer and a sickle overlapping each other. The two tools are symbols of the industrial proletariat and the peasantry; placing them together symbolizes the unity between industrial and agricultural workers.
