Ice Cube revealed that he wanted Dr. Dre to produce his debut album, “AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted,” but Eazy-E stopped it from happening

The Los Angeles Rap icon had major success with his 1990 debut album, but it could’ve been bigger if one more person had been involved.

During a recent interview, the 55-year-old explained what kept Dre from producing on his debut LP.

“I still tried to be friends with the guys who had nothing to do with the business,” he said. “Me and [Eazy E] was shaky, and I didn’t care about Jerry Heller at all, so it wasn’t no love lost there. But I tried to keep it together with [Dr. Dre]. I even wanted Dre to produce my solo record, and we was talking about it, but Eazy and Jerry vetoed it.”

Instead of Dre, “AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted” was produced by Public Enemy‘s Bomb Squad and Cube would go on to diss Dre on infamous track “No Vaseline” in 1991.

What’s more? Ice Cube is set to drop his 11th solo album entitled “Man Down” on November 22, and he’s going to get some help from fellow Westcoast legends in Snoop Dogg, Too $hort, E-40, Xzibit, B-Real and Kurupt.
