What up Fam,
PUMP IT UP is my favorite and probably the best HIP HOP show to ever come out from the west coast. On this show you see a young Ice Cube breaking down the concepts of NWA, showin off his sp1200's, the DOC's behind the scenes of "The Formula" video, and some cameo's of your favorite West Coast rappers chillin. This was shot before the split.
MAKE SURE YOU BUY EVERYTHING THESE ARTIST PUT OUT CAUSE THATS THE BEST WAY TO SHOW YOUR RESPECT TO THE ARTIST AS A FAN. PLUS IF YOU DON'T OWN ANY OF THE CLASSICS THEY PUT OUT THAN YOUR JUST NOT KNOWIN. -WORD
IT'S ALL LOVE!!!

Ice cube is one of the greatest rapper ever and he deserves way more respect
YAH First fruits cap he always get respect
He gets respect but It could be more so I agree
Cube gets mad respect as a rapper
Facts
He’s my favourite rapper in my opinion because I like his style. Everyone likes a certain type of rap.
Two gold albums and Two platinum albums and cube is still living in his moms crib in the hood. Jerry Heller was gankin them cats.
Made him come up with his best stuff. Kept him humble and better yet angry
Yup, it's fucked up. Heller was a thief. Easy screwed him too.
You're speaking a dead language.
He said he was waiting for his house to come through. Damn, pay attention and clean your ears out!!!
Greg Whitener el WORD
Cube had an Emoji shirt 25 years ahead of the game
Either it's a Watchmen shirt, either he had a big ugly stain on it
***** so Watchmen reference still works
Omar Scruggs those got popular wen the song be happy came out
when the fuck were you born, you dumb fuck
Omar Scruggs no disrespect bro but that ain’t no emoji lol that was acid sign. In mid 80s in England we had that on the walls of all the raves
Ice cube seems like somebody cool as fuck to chill with so much energy
Tessa La'na ice cube that nigga
Yeah
Its kinda sad seeing a talented rapper like ice cube still living in his moms house because of the way he didnt get the money he deserved from his manager . And to see rappers in are generation that aren't even close to being talented, earning millions nd spending it on random shit
Fuuuuuuu shut yo ass up !!! Where's he at now !!!! All that matters
He was 20 Yrs old...
+RGfilmproductions But hard work days forever pays dude . He faced lotta problems in his time , the inequality of the society , his path wasn't a red carpet for him , the media was all against them . He worked his ass off all entire his career , he made himself , not media . But today's generation all they do do some shit and media spread it wordlwide . Ervryone gives respect either for Ice Cube ot Dr.Dre , the new so-called rappers they got nuttin from us . Bcoz , they are self-made millionaire , nobody helped them but themselves to be the legends they are now
sahbi rezig Well said mate, well said lol
+RGfilmproductions it really doesn't matter tbh. It's muthafuckin Ice Cube!! He's a legend and will always have recognition, unlike the worthless + senseless bullshit thats been out lately. I can't even call it rap. It's sickening.
Just two years after this interview, he made a block buster movie. It’s amazing how fast Ice Cube moved up in his career
"This is my mom, I got her with the locs on" lol
dude had gone platinum all ready and Heller's ass got him still living with his mama.
jason mielke without heller NWA wouldn’t of blown BUT Heller was a snake
Money didn't come like that each single was about .50 cents
She held it down, stayed professional, polite, but didn't let ice cube or the rest of the dudes intimidate her. she did her thing.
why should she be scared of someone that reasonable?
Danie The Poet Until Dre's bitch ass slammed her head through a fucking wall...shameful
Turd Ferguson what?
That’s the girl that dr Dre beat up at an interview session
You gonna take advice from someone who slapped Dee Barnes!!!
Watching these throwback NWA videos makes you think how well O’Shea Jr played his father. His portrayal was dumb accurate.
Yes
Ya Boy Aang we’ll it’s his son so he already has a lot of his mannerisms
He was stupidly underrated. I don’t think anyone else would fit Cube’s role.
Well he did grow up with him lol
I made Death Row Records Remixes Come listen to it on my Channel if you want😉👍peace🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This interview is 30 years old, wow.
Insane to think about
this is truly sad this was the day before the d.o.c. got into his car accident and lost his voice
Kameki Malone D.O.C don’t get enough props he wrote a lot of shit for these dudes
@@lfgmbby DOC recorded both of those videos right before the accident, Im guessing they filmed this whole thing over the course of a few days, so the part at ICE CUBE's house might of been the day after and they had no idea how severe it was.
Casey Smith c
Remember when they beat her up and then threatnd to do it again?
D M who beat who up?
Man Cube's mom must be so proud of her son. She raised a hell of a man, he was already charasmatic, just a natural talent.
"I'm still waiting on my house" damn ;/ glad cube got what he wanted
Meanwhile $160 million dollars later...they can get suck the bozack .
“Do I look scary?” Has a smiley face shirt on😂😂
😂😂
Damn, imagine had Ruthless gave Ice Cube a real contract. Dude was ready to blow up in 1989. And in 1990, he released AmeriKKKa'z Most Wanted. But imagine if that was on Ruthless. Man, Ruthless would have took over the world.
For realllll
+martyc909 If they kept it together, Death Row would have never existed. Ruthless would be Death Row. They would have had Snoop and Bone Thugs. They would've been unstoppable.
+martyc909 Not really, because If it was on Ruthless it would never have had The Bomb Squad on production which was the main reason that album was so great.
+kleyon11 Dre's the best. However, the Bomb Squad producing Cube kind of linked east/west in a way it would not have been done with Dre.
+martyc909 and aftermath would be on ruthless so would eminem and many others...it would lead to a chain of events maybe even 50 cent not being worth 50 cents anymore
They're playing Blades of Steel on Nintendo. I had that game 😂
+jigyoda yea when NHL came out on Sega and Genesis it was over
...and then came Mortal Kombat. The day all children forgot sports existed. lol

victornewman06 that's some real shit, when everything today is fake
4:58 his " huh?" Just like how he says it in Friday lol
If you grew up in the 80’s and 90’s you had the best childhood
the 80´s 90´s generation obviously didn´t grow up in the 80´s 90´s
@@xvbiffbangpow8579bro what😂
FACTS!!! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE❤!!!
Depends where you grew up
You people may not realize how significant a moment in time this video represents. In fact this could be or is the last interview with the entire original nwa group. The D.O.C. album was the last and one of the best original NWA records. Between NWA and the posse, Ez does it, Straight outta Compton, and DOC no one can do it better, the DOC is right up there ! Not to mention the last track on DOC's record is the Grand Finale which is probably the second or third best track NWA ever put down as a group song. Of course a couple months later Ice Cube left the band. The Band would never fully recover.
#truth
cofside grand finale was the last track ice cube made on ruthless records
So true, its depressing. You don't realize how great moments in life are until you've lived long enough to look back and realize it.
It's so sad and such a shame. After niggaz4life came out, I was looking forward to how fucking amazing the following album would be. N4L is one of the best albums of all time. I'm not discounting how good Cube was, with NWA pre N4L. Cos the original line up, with Cube, was fucking dope. The good ones die young, hey. They came up fast, went way up, and came down pretty hard, after the band breaking up, cube leaving etc. They were phenomenal.
I made Death Row Records Remixes Come listen to it on my Channel if you want😉👍peace🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So much history. Probably Cube's last public appearance with the group. Video footage of The D.O.C maybe a day or so before the accident, and even a quick cameo by Warren G. The best times before everything changed.
wheres warren?

4:58 Dee: Is it real gold? Cube: huh why is this so funny lmao
No More Ducks huh? 😂
8:55 Dee: “were in his funky Jeep, you be picking up the girls?” Ice Cube: “nayh, I ain’t the one” Cube was way ahead of the game😂😎
cube wasnt known for pickin up girls like the rest of the crew. but when he said nah i aint the one, he was already whipped lol. he knew his girl was gonna watch this.
THAT is what a man says when he is in love. I'm out the game. And he still with her, much respect.
lol that is literally one of his song titles! He ain't slick😂
Leave that job to Eazy
I made Death Row Records Remixes Come listen to it on my Channel if you want😉👍peace🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I think this proves that Cube was getting screwed financially in the nwa years. He should of gotten money to buy his mom a new home and a home of his own with his contributions to the group.
This reminds me of GTA: San Andreas so much.
Eric DeVito BRO YES
I'm playing it right now
San Andreas is just early 90’s Los Angelas in video game form.
He's got the old school Nintendo on the dresser and the VCR on top of the TV lol that's some old 80s shit right there!! Love it
Cube was in Nwa for 3 years prior to this vid an he still waiting to get his own house!? These man where really getting ganked!!
Facts he pretty much wrote everything
how he worth 160
*were.
nwa only started making money a few months after straight outta compton, nwa and the posse (their first album) was a huge failure, so there was no money. no one was getting ganked
They got their checks. Ice cube had a meeting with Eazy🤷
“Is it real gold?” 𝐇𝐮𝐡?
Damn, this was some real shit. Ice Cube still living at his mom"s house playing Blades of Steel on the NES. Epic.
Thanks to Jerry fuckin Heller
THE DOC IS FINE... AND HE STILL IS!!!!
No she means the doc🙄 why would she say Ice cube
I can't even describe how much I love this video. I used to watch Pump It Up religiously back in the day, but I never saw this episode. Ice Cube's house on the block? His mom? His home studio? Gold and Platinum records hung up in his living room? GTFO this is pretty much the best video ever. Not to mention the fact that they're playing Blades of Steel on NES at the end. I loved it back when rappers were pretty much normal dudes.
Damn, that was like stepping into a time warp. All the memories shot straight to the front.
The good old days! Suzuki Sidekicks, Blades Of Steel on NES, NWA still together, dope rap videos! Damn I miss it all!
I’m glad I live in an age where I can see such a clear glimpse into the past of 3 decades ago. And how you know about things from the past but seeing them in play is just so cool. Seeing them playing the Nintendo, the way people dress and the style, the whole interview just makes me feel happy, I don’t know how to explain it.
lol cooler to live it
Man that's awesome, seeing WC sitting in Ice Cube's bedroom watching Cube play Hockey Fight with Dee all the way back in 1989, I mean that's crazy. What a golden video this is, seriously.
not only that you got warren G in the set pre regulate... imagine that next N.W.A album with cube on it
Ice Cube playing nes makes me so happy
For you youngins, only people in Cali were still wearing Jerry Curls back then, not most of the country.
Thebrothaisback IKR lol!
In Tennessee the Midwest and the West coast.
Good cuz Jheri Curls didn't look too hot (except for when Eazy-E wore out one, he rocked it)
Thebrothaisback 😂
@@mileskessler6634 Hey. MJ rocked the Jheri curl.
People be sleeping on ice cube. He don't get the kind of attention like pac and Eminem.. But he is one of the pioneers of gangsta rap.. One of the OGs of the game..
Amazing how this was shot maybe a few weeks from him splitting from the group. It's interesting to see him be seemingly happy and complacent with living at his parents house after selling millions of records. It's as if he didn't know any better.
Its probably before he heard about the contracts
Thats why he said hes still waiting to get his house thats why everything is crammed in his room, bein sarcastic, he knew he was goin
And never got the 2nd nwa album with cube that he mentioned
We need a group like this that stands for something now in today’s day
This is the woman that Dre beat up.
+Moody Hyadd dre beat up for real ??
+souleymane wagué Yes, her name is Dee Barnes.
+Moody Hyadd Beat the brakes off her. Wasn't no pushing around or slapping...it was a true beat down. . His body guards prevented anyone from helping her. People don't understand. Dope beats...but Dre is kind of a bitch.
@@dfwboxingisback9173 Dre didnt do that shit pac snoop and suge knight though
@@demonrash5449 yes he did. Dre even admit it. Suge would be the one to do that. Snoop nah . suge and pac would have beaten up snoop
i love ice cube and seeing the old school beat equipment is so fire
The last months of Cube on Ruthless, Low Pro in the final scene, Warren G and Above the Law at the video shoot, but the best yet saddest part was watching DOC talk, after he finished shooting The Formula he had the accident and they had to cancel his tour and everything
+big973e DOC's accident apparently already happened during the filming of Cube's part. Cube and Dee Barnes are wishing him a good recovery.
big973e on god
This a significant moment in time

Damn I'm grown with grown kids do yall realize if your in your 30's or 40's you was a child when pump it up was on if you lived in California it came on channel 11 @ 11pm I useta watch pump it up with my mom rip damn how time flies the good ol days .....
Im a lifelong VA resident and I remember Pump It Up. I think it came on right after the Arsenio Hall show.
It's so cool to see Cube in his N.W.A. days.
Man These Are My Early High School Days Of Hip Hop!!!!
Good to see how humble and real Ice Cube was at that age, with all the gold records on the wall
Loved the way cube and Dee Barnes interacted
Incredible how fresh this dude was in those times. Just totally and utterly original, lyrics off the hook.
Every time I hear DOC I feel sorry... He was so talented man..
Platinum sales and he was still livin' with his momma.......NWA was definitely gettin' screwed by da Jerry.
Not just platinum sales. Platinum sales of songs he wrote himself
Ice Cube is a certified legend
d.o.c. his album must be in top 5 rap all time
Anybody else peep out the Nintendo system and the VHS tapes in the background #BackInTheDay
Matthew 19:26 yes believe it or not people had vcrs and Nintendo in 1989 , why you act so surprised haha
I honestly never seen ice cube more happy than this
He can leave whenever, he’s not part of the room 😂
Maaaaan, the DOC just might have been the world's greatest rapper. #NoOneCanDoItBetter
Classic almost had tears ... Time flies
whoa this was at his moms house too
+Luis Hernandez just like Friday
+Luis Hernandez so when you still lived home then you never called it your house?
+SGHD Rides because it is his mothers house lawfully.
Luis Hernandez it shows that he wasn't getting his fair share, which is precisely why Cube left.
Dee Barnes is so cool, she clicked good and became one of the boys
You tell'em ice cube! This is how we do it!
N.E.S lol miss them days
That's what most moms used to look like then. Now, a rapper's mom would be on t.v. looking like a thot and running her mouth more than the artist. Acting a straight fool trying to get her 15 minutes and relay it into a reality show.

@@urinedanger1008 Blac Chyna not even a rapper
Damn W.C go all the way back with Cube,... he was even bumping that Low Profile.in the Suki..... I.really miss growing up in the Crenshaw District in the 80s....
They're from the same neighborhood.
Michael Baker nwa had everybody
young cube is one of the most intimidating people ever, his voice was made perfect for gangsta rap
Brings back a lot of great memories, music changed for the good , the old small Tv , the classic video games , DoC still had his voice , Crazy to think the drama that was unfolding rite in front of eyes.
Respect to the sister hosting. Her even having a natural is waaaay more than I can say about even half of the sisters on TV today
So crazy. Cube would never do another NWA album. The last time we'd hear D.O.C. actual voice. The last time we'd ever see Low Profile together...crazy...
That clean version still slaps
Such simple times, but at the same time, real times, real reasons to have your voice heard and stand up for what's right ...
"We back in 1990" Ice Cube
Playing Blades of Steel with Ice Cube: priceless.
loved this!! ice cube was hella dope. still is
This is a Gem! Thank you for posting!! Very inspirational c:
This is so fly. Give me good throwback vibes ❤️👏🏾🥰 Love my people and I love our culture!
Ice cube finally did move out his moms an went solo when he left nwa he made a 1st solo album hes the 1st one to go solo out nwa
Mc Ren put out his first solo album same time ice cube did
@@makaveli4205 yes MC Ren did they all had solo albums in NWA but what I mean was ice cube dropped a solo album dissing NWA at the time when he started Lynch mob he got a deal with priority records after he left ruthless records
10:32 Dub-C in the back
I was wondering if anyone else peeped that.
really?
and you have warren g @7:09 :D
DragonNomak Back then WC was a beast with his lyrics. Today he doesn't sound as good.
I 👀 i aint only one see him he did said he made sure he mad sure cube didn't join the set like he did
I loved this show back in the day...
The jheri curl needs to make a comeback. Gangsta!
+Shay Boogs Did you ever see former heavyweight champ Riddick Bowe with jheri curls? He looked like something out of the jheri curl commercial in Coming to America.
I can't find a pic of Bowe with it :( I just googled it and nothing. Yeah, "Soul Glow" from Coming to America. Darryl was the man, lol.
Shay Boogs I saw the picture in the ring magazine in 1990, Bowe had changed his hair by then but the writers showed an older pic because they were laughing at it.
nO..god no. Not again.
Never!!! Juicy drippy shit!!
This is the definition of gold!
Thats my world. And i wasnt even born in the 90s.
Thank you who ever posted this video str8 Classic

Dang! I remember this episode. I was in the 8th grade. Seeing Dee & cube rolling in the geo tracker brings back memories. 😂 I’m even thinking bout the Word Up magazines & rap city show now. Those were the days!
Love this! Brings back memories..... I grew up in South Central L.A 119 & Berendo in the 70’s 80’s and 90’s...And Daaaam at the end they playing the game Blades of Steel 🙌🏾
They didn't play Pump it up on Detroit TV until 1990..so I missed this one. Awesome to see Jinx in the lab. That was cool. Amazing how big things got by the next year.. and how things changed so drastically.
Everything was so simple and chilled back then. I wish I was there doing those times.
I miss shows like this
DEE: IS IT REALL GOLD ? ICE CUBE : *huh ?!*
This is absolute gold
#ThrowBack .....I love it!!

This was my favorite show back in the day.
Very genuine interview I miss old MTV
