Ice Cube Accepts Common's Movie Offer

West Coast Hip-Hop veteran Ice Cube has accepted former rival Common's offer to possibly work together in a movie in the near future.

Common and Ice Cube were engaged in a vicious war of words in the mid-1990's.

It all started when Common released his classic single, "I Used to Love H.E.R." Ice Cube took offense with the song, claiming Common was degrading the West Coast. Cube and his new group, Westside Connection [WC & Mack 10] released a full-fledged diss record, "Westside Slaughterhouse." Common responded with "The Bitch In Yoo."

Ice Cube wasn't someone you wanted to battle. Prior to "The Bitch In Yoo," he accumulated an impressive resume in battling. It's never easy going up against one of the greatest West Coast MCs in hip-hop history, but somehow, Common was able to shock the industry and defeat the legend. Common gave the Don Mega the biggest "L" of his career by labeling him a washed up gangsta rapper. "The Bitch In Yoo" exposed Cube and hindered his image for years to come. Common really went for the jugular and it was obvious Cube wasn't expecting to be out-dueled by the then relatively unknown Chicago MC.

The situation almost turned violent until The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan held a meeting at his Chicago mansion and urged the rising rap stars to peacefully resolve their differences.

Since then, both artists have gone on to have immense success on the silver screen.

Ice Cube, who recently produced the series Are We There Yet? for TNT, has starred in groundbreaking flicks like Boyz N Tha Hood, in addition to executive producing and starring in his own hit movies like Friday and Barbershop.

"When we had our little issues in the 90s we sat down with Farrakhan and he told us why we needed to be brothers and squash it," Ice Cube said "Since then, I aint never had an ill feeling towards Common. We've seen each other on several occasions and it's all love, like it never happened. I'd be down to do a movie anytime. Anytime."

Common, who has starred in movies like Terminator Salvation, Smokin' Aces, American Gangster and Just Wright, recently wrapped up filming on Hell on Wheels, a time-piece about the Transcontinental Railroad set in the 1860's.

During an interview last week, Common revealed that he would like to work with Ice Cube on a movie, should the chance ever arise.

"Point blank, when Cube and I had beef, I was a fan of his first and foremost, I grew up like loving Cube," Common said "I still respected him as an artist, but I had to come at him. It’s like a boxer; if somebody challenge you in the ring, you got to go at him. But we all good now, and maybe we can produce a movie together or something."

Ice Cube was very optimistic about working with Common in the future and noted that it only made sense, considering the amount of success both men have experienced in Hollywood.

"He's in Hollywood and I'm in Hollywood. We are both leading men and we can do this," Ice Cube said

Ice Cube recently released his 9th album I Am The West on his independent label, Lench Mob Records.
