According to these guys, Cube’s cousin Kam had one of his homies steal Cube’s Westside Connection chain at a party

Then, B-Real of Cypress Hill, angry that Cube stole his ‘Throw Ya Set in the Air’ for the Friday soundtrack, wore it at a photo shoot (and, later, recorded ‘Ice Cube Killa,’ which isn’t as good a dis song as this one)

“Grafted” is Nation of Islam language for something artificially created. Common points outs that Cubes fakeness is clear and see thru as glass shield (also referencing Cube’s movie of the same name)

Common points out that he never dissed the whole West Coast and Cube took his words in “I Used to Love H.E.R.” completely out of context. He refers to second-rate gangsta rappers, not the Solesides/Likwit/Hiero/Good Life types

While Com’s ‘I Used to Love HER’ was a broad condemnation of the state of ‘90s hip-hop, Cube took things out of context and a little too personally (isn’t that always how beef starts?), and 'Westside Slaughterhouse’ was a serious escalation

The line is in reference to Sodom and Gomorrah, two legendary biblical cities destroyed by God for their wickedness. Their story parallels the Genesis flood narrative in its theme of God’s anger provoked by man’s sin.

Eminem was not the only person to diagnose Debbie Mathers with Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. It was suspicion that she suffered from this syndrome that caused social services to take Eminem’s brother away from her and put him in foster care.

He’s also saying that his mother’s tendency to diagnose herself with diseases, or act diseased, made him behave the same way. That’s why he says he was raised to believe he was sick.
