The Bomb Squad produced Ice Cube solo debut, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted marked one of the earliest bi-coastal Hip-Hop collaborations (LL COOL J's LA Posse produced Bigger And Deffer was one of the earliest), but if Ice Cube had his way, Dr. Dre would have been behind the boards. In a new interview with Complex's Idea Generation, Cube revealed that Eazy E and Jerry Heller (NWA's manger) vetoed his request.
“I still tried to be friends with the guys who had nothing to do with the business,” he said. “Me and Eazy 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 Dre. I even wanted Dre to produce my solo record, and we was talking about it, but Eazy and Jerry vetoed it.”
