Heat Melts Cube is the name of an unreleased diss track by American rapper Eazy-E, rumored to have been recorded in 1993. The song was allegedly directed at fellow rapper and former N.W.A. member Ice Cube, though its existence remains unconfirmed.[1]
Background
[edit]Following the breakup of N.W.A., tensions ran high between Eazy-E and Ice Cube, especially after Ice Cube's departure from Ruthless Records. Ice Cube released several diss tracks targeting Eazy-E, including *"No Vaseline."* In response, Eazy-E is believed to have recorded multiple diss tracks, potentially including *"Heat Melts Cube."* [2]
The rumored track *"Heat Melts Cube"* was said to be a direct response to Ice Cube’s insults, intending to further intensify the rivalry between the two artists. The title is thought to be a play on Ice Cube's moniker, suggesting that Eazy-E would "melt" his former friend through his lyrics.[3]
Rumors and Speculation
[edit]Though there is no physical or digital evidence of *"Heat Melts Cube,"* the track has been referenced by fans and in hip-hop forums. Rumors about its lyrics, production, and impact on the West Coast hip-hop scene have persisted, with some claiming it was recorded during sessions for Eazy-E's planned album *Temporary Insanity*.[4]
Because *"Heat Melts Cube"* was never released, it has become a topic of speculation among hip-hop enthusiasts. Fans continue to search for recordings or evidence to verify the track’s existence, although it is unclear if any copies still exist. Some fans believe that *"Heat Melts Cube"* could provide insight into the height of Eazy-E's feud with Ice Cube, adding another layer to the legendary rivalry that shaped the Gangsta rap genre in the early 1990s.[5]
