Ice Cube is planning to reunite with his former NWA band mate Dr. Dre on his upcoming album ‘I Am the West’. The rapper explained on his blog “I wanna answer a few questions you have for ya’ boy – Beats by Dre? Not yet. Haven’t asked him, but I will. Any collabos? Not yet. I would give you guys the concept but I’mma save that and let you see it for yourself. Now I know it seems like my record is West Coast crazy- Yeah it is. But I got a lot of real s**t to say on this record just like I always do. So my political fans won’t be disappointed.” It doesn’t sound like it’s set in stone yet so don’t hold your breath.

Metallica has a new marketing ploy for the more sombre of you.

It’s a “Death Magnetic” coffin box that will have a copy of the actual album, an additional disc of demos, a “making of the album” DVD, an exclusive T-shirt, a flag, guitar picks and a fold-out poster.

Plus, the box includes a collector’s credit card embossed with a code to redeem a free download of a special European show that’s happening in September.

The Metallica Website tells us that the band is in the process of wrapping up the artwork for the coffin-shaped box and items in it, but it will come out the same day the album does this fall.

It’s only going to be available online through Metallica’s web site.
