Addition

Shouldnt there be added the fact that it is one of the best disses ever as many people think and adding that many think of it being the end for NWA's career. --West Coast Ryda - Talk 14:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"By all means flag the social problems, but don't exploit them by turning a professional spat between a former manager and an artist into a racial dispute."

Why? Ice-Cube has spats against gentiles all the time! Why can't he have spats about the Jews? Jews are such hypocrites, violent and evil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.224.199.52 (talk) 12:01, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is because of comments like the one above ("Jews are such hypocrites, violent and evil") that i have added more quotations and citations to the specifically ant-gay and anti-Jewish content in this song. Beyond personal bigotry, the lyrics contain a death threat: "Put a bullet in his temple" refers both to a portion of the anatomy and to a Jewish synagogue. To efface the meaning of the lyrics is to render them innocuous, when they are anything but that. catherine yronwode, not logged in, 75.101.104.17 (talk) 21:20, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reference 6 broken

Reference #6 links to a YouTube video that is 'unavailable' - new citation needed 69.127.242.72 (talk) 16:41, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Updated, more ref links

I spent a while updating the page and adding good refs because Kanye West recently named Ice Cube among those who inspired his own antisemitism and Ice Cube has dismissed the implications. catherine yronwode, not logged in 75.101.104.17 (talk) 22:07, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
