When Ice Cube and DMX team up on « We Be Clubbin’ (Remix), » it’s not just a collaboration, it’s a clash of the titans between Ice Cube’s brutal West Coast and DMX’s wild energy, a pure product of the East Coast. « We Be Clubbin' » is originally a 1998 single by Ice Cube, a pure banger designed to rock the clubs, with a heavy, funky production reminiscent of alcohol, smoke, and endless night.
But when DMX joins the remix, it’s a whole new level of madness. The Yonkers pit bull brings an uncontrollable aggression that contrasts with Cube’s calm yet menacing flow. The result: an explosive cocktail that makes the speakers sweat. And as if that weren’t enough, the remix also features Jay-Z and Method Man on other versions, proving that this sound brought together the biggest names in rap at the time.
Fun fact: this track was designed to embody the atmosphere of late ’90s US parties, and it was even considered for inclusion in movie soundtracks like « Player’s Club, » directed by… Ice Cube himself!
Tell me… if you were in a club in L.A. or New York in ’98, would you have been more into Cube or DMX ?
