    The rap legend and former N.W.A. member—who knows a thing or two about hip-hop feuds—says Drake is winning the battle against Meek Mill.
    A lifetime ago, before rap beefs boiled down to one-sided massacres over ghostwriters and courtesy tweets, diss tracks used to carry real stakes. They were pointed, personal, vicious. They ignited rivalries that erupted in actual shots fired (R.I.P. ‘Pac and Biggie). But in the new rap reality of today, America and our neighbors to the North are in the grips of the comparatively polite international conflict (shout-out to Norm) that is the Meek Mill-Drake War of 2015.

    At stake as the world gives Philly’s Meek Mill another week to match his onetime best bud Drake diss-for-diss: Street cred. Twitter he. Nicki’s relationship status. Maybe a lawsuit or two.

    With all of hip-hopdom invested in the Meek-Drake face-off, The Daily Beast asked hip-hop legend Ice Cube about the beef.

    “Drake is winning right now,” Cube laughed, before graciously adding a charitable stay of execution for Mill. “But, you know… Meek could come back.”

    We also asked the rest of the cast and crew of Universal’s sprawling N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton to pick a side. Stars Corey Hawkins, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Jason Mitchell wisely remained neutral, instead bursting into a ophony of LOLs while shouting “Get off me!” at the film’s Beverly Hills press junket. “They’ll make a movie about that one day,” is all director F. Gary Gray would say.

    But the film's resident diss king, Ice Cube, is better suited to weigh in. The 46-year-old Compton-raised rapper turned filmmaker is a producer on Straight Outta Compton, which highlights how he dropped one of the most savage diss tracks of all time on ex-squad bros Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, MC Ren, DJ Yella, and manager Jerry Heller with 1991’s “No Vaseline”

    Compared to the heated diss war that kept N.W.A. divided until Eazy-E’s death—prompted by N.W.A.’s “Message to B.A.,” followed by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s “f--- Wit Dre Day” and Eazy-E’s “Real Muthaphukkin’ Gs”—Meek Mill’s ongoing tiff with the 6 God is, Cube says, “very entertaining.”

    “It’s funny,” Cube grinned. “To me it’s like going back to the essence of hip-hop: Who can rap the best?

    I don’t think anybody’s going to get jumped or get their a----s whooped, but it’s fun to sit back and watch.”

    Nobody should ever get jumped or get their a----s whooped in a hip hop beef, the anger and aggression should be left on track.

    Even though I agree with Cube, he took an L..because Franklin from GTA 5 knocked him out and took his chain
