CIA - Cru In Action

This Is Ok But Ice Cube and K-Dee weren't developed

Nobody can beat Dre on verses

Dre and Cube owe reparations to the descendants of the Beastie boys families.

Who else came here from the Nardwuar interview?

... Beasty boys?..

They sound like a punkrock hiphop band

Weirdly hilarious to find this song years later and see Ice Cube and his crew essentially doing a Beastie Boys impression lol.

The east coast influence was strong in these early cuts. They used vocab and style reminiscent of the East.

Beastie Cubes

Alonzo said it himself that they were like a group who tried to copy the beastie boys, imagine a few years later they were full blown gangsters (on wax that is)

I’m glad he found his own voice and started gangster rap

At this stage of rap, it was important to use any style that is known as dope. Once in the game, a rapper might find himself or morph as the scene morphs.

[Dr. Dre]
Ah yeah
Right about now C.I.A. is in effect
My name is Dr. Dre their producer
And we gon' cold get retarted
A little somethin like this

[K-Dee]
All the guys act eerie (why?) I don't know
Cause I am Darryl (but I'm not Joe)
[Ice Cube]
Posse 1 to the mic, Ice Cube (that's you)
[K-Dee]
(K-Dee) that's me, I'm Posse 2
[Ice Cube]
Sir Jinx is without a doubt Posse 3
3rd to the cut, boy, evidently
[Kid Dee]
Funky fresh, freshly-funky Kid Dee is coldly-coolin
And my boys, we bust out on the west cause I am rulin it
Schoolin it, boy, and you don't want none
Much like a 808 because my bass hums
[Ice Cube]
I am ill gettin iller, Ice Cube is illustratin it
A brand new cut, keep the b-boys hatin it
Don't get paid, but that's alright
I got the riches of a king when I hold the mic
[Kid Dee]
Ill-legal gettin busy, a strong black villain
Ice Cube (Sir Jinx) Kid Dee (what - chillin)
Yeah


(West Coast style)
(The names have been changed to protect the innocent)

(Word)

[Ice Cube]
Now Ice Cube's gettin busy, my girls are dizzy
Always on the scene with the schoolyard skizzy
Posse 2 playin, def rhyme-sayin
And at the Snooty Fox is where I'm stayin
[Kid Dee]
Stacking and packing, pizza man-jacking
Always in a daze and my mouth keeps yapping
Crenshaw dweller, mix tape seller
Cute with the loot plus I'm a fresh fella
[Ice Cube]
G-g-g-girlie abuser, 8Ball user
I hold the title of the Crenshaw cruiser
Bark like a beagle, word's ill-legal
Fuck Boy [edited] and drive-by Seagal
[Kid Dee]
Kool-Aid I guzzle which makes me puzzled
Moms on my tip, bought her a new muzzle
Ugly girls shakin, miniskirt-takin
Ice Cube (oh yeah) Kid Dee's money-makin
(Hold it)

(Go) (go) (go) (go) (go)
(L.A. is the place)
(Ah yeah)
[Beastie Boys] (4 and) (3 and) (2 and) (1) (what up)

[Ice Cube]
Had the girlies here early morning, all of them fine
Pushing and shoving, wasn't even in line
Out here to see me do my thing
Car stopped, door opened, out steps the king
Buggin and sluggin, to wreck the car
You know why, Kid Dee, cause I'm a rap star
Girl kissed my hand and fell to her knees
Said, "Hold it everybody, no autographs please"
[Kid Dee]
Well me I'm Kid Dee, I stepped out next
I don't smoke but I'm down for music and sex
I'm the big star and it ain't no thing
Let facts be facts, I'm down with the king
Tryin not lyin, I keep my profile low
And wouldn't you know they still ripped my clothes
Knocked me off my feet, right on my seat
Girls caused a riot, bodyguards got beat
(Is that right?)
[Sir Jinx]
Now Jinx was last to hit the party
Girls was touchin all on my body
Suckin and grabbin, ripped and torn
The crew was bonin out to the backstage door
Females went nuts, pinchin my butt
Funky fresh Filas kicked the door shut
Huffin and puffin cause we ran far
[all]
So we rushed the dressing room with the biggest star
Ill-legal, y'all


[C.I.A.] (West Coast style)

[K-Dee]
He is so conceited but he don't show it
[Ice Cube]

Aint no one here 2021 huh?

He sounds just like ad rock from beastie boys

Cube was in this group in early 86

This wasn’t 88 cz eazy e album hit first in 88. November cube was in the cia before nwa. Cube left nwa in 89 so that’s wrong

Jinx and the backyard boogie band

That doesnt sound like cube at all, not even close. Are you sure thats him? Maybe thats one of his crewmates

Damn they aint gotta yell in the mic tho lol sounds like some Tekashi action

I knew I wasn't crazy when I remembered Cube in a group called CIA

Dres mixing has always been legendary. So precise.

Regardless of the sound, you gotta respect the hustle.

I can’t stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
