Editing Ice Cube (section)

===1986: C.I.A.===
With friend [[Sir Jinx]], Ice Cube formed the rap group [[C.I.A. (group)|C.I.A.]], and performed at parties hosted by [[Dr. Dre]]. Since 1984, Dre had been a member of a popular DJ crew, the [[World Class Wreckin' Cru]], which by 1985 was also performing and recording electro rap. Dre had Cube help write the Wreckin Cru's hit song "Cabbage Patch". Dre also joined Cube on a side project, a duo called Stereo Crew, which made a 12-inch record, "She's a Skag", released on [[Epic Records]] in 1986.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Johson|first=Bill|date=May 31, 2010|title=Ice Cube Reminisces On His Very First Gig And Single|work=The Urban Daily|url=http://theurbandaily.com/music/first-things-first-music/billjohnson/ice-cube-reminisces-on-his-very-first-gig-and-single/|access-date=February 21, 2011|archive-date=November 30, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111130032019/http://theurbandaily.com/music/first-things-first-music/billjohnson/ice-cube-reminisces-on-his-very-first-gig-and-single/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 1987, C.I.A. released the [[Dr. Dre]]-produced single "[[My Posse]]". Meanwhile, the Wreckin' Cru's home base was the Eve After Dark nightclub, about a quarter of a mile outside of the city of Compton in Los Angeles County. While Dre was on the turntable, Ice Cube would rap, often parodying other artists' songs. In one instance, Cube's rendition was "My Penis", parodying Run-DMC's "[[My Adidas]]".<ref>{{cite book|last=Brown|first=Jake|title=Dr. Dre in the Studio: From Compton, Death Row, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, the Game, and Mad Money: the Life, Times, and Aftermath of the Notorious Record Producer, Dr. Dre|date=2006|publisher=Amber Books Publishing|isbn=9780976773559|location=London|page=6}}</ref> In 2015, the nightclub's co-owner and Wreckin' leader [[DJ Alonzo Williams|Alonzo Williams]] would recall feeling his reputation damaged by this and asking it not to be repeated.<ref name="Lonzo">[http://allhiphop.com/2015/08/24/world-class-wreckin-crus-lonzo-williams-dr-dre-gay-rumors-straight-outta-compton/ World Class Wreckin' Cru Founder Alonzo Williams Addresses Dr. Dre Gay Rumors & 'Straight Outta Compton'], Allhiphop.com, August 24, 2015</ref>
