<p>Cube, 40 and Too Short recently sat down with Talib Kweli on <em>The People&#8217;s Podcast</em> where they discussed who the East Coast counterparts would be when it comes to a Mount Westmore. The three rappers debated with Kweli on who <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/411057-ja-rule-names-his-rap-mount-rushmore-we-never-put-ladies-in-there-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">belongs </a>on the Mount Rushmore of the East Coast. E-40, Short and Cube agreed that Jay-Z and Nas belong in the top four positions, along with Busta Rhymes. However, it was the fourth position that was up for grabs.</p>



<p>Co-host Jasmin Leigh said that the list isn&#8217;t limited to artists from New York City  <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/420414-chris-brown-includes-6-legendary-lyricists-on-his-rap-mount-rushmore-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rappers</a>. That&#8217;s when Talib suggested that <a href="/profile/Redman" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Redman</a> deserves the fourth spot. He also said a Wu-Tang member, like <a href="/profile/GhostfaceKillah" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Ghostface Killah</a>, was also a candidate to round out the list.</p>



<p>&#8220;All of Wu-Tang is dope to me so I don&#8217;t know who we would put,&#8221; 40 added.</p>



<p>Too Short then suggested that <a href="/profile/FatJoe" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Fat Joe</a> would also be a solid contender. However, the conversation then extended to legends from the 80s such as KRS-one.</p>



<p>&#8220;You got to be a little more lightweight, a little more current,&#8221; 40 continued. &#8220;We need to put them in a whole different category. Them dude are super legends.&#8221;</p>

<p>Earlier this month, Mount Westmore released their debut album, <em><a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/608982-snoop-dogg-e-40-ice-cube-too-hort-make-a-statement-on-mount-westmore-album" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Snoop, Cube, 40, $hort</a></em>, including previously released singles like <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/439244-mount-westmore-to-release-bad-mfs-on-streaming-services" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;Bad MFs.&#8221;</a> However, it seems like fans could expect even more music from the legendary artists in the future. Short previously explained that they would be releasing more &#8220;volumes&#8221; to follow their debut album. No word on when we could expect them to deliver their next project but it seems like they could have a major 2023 ahead of them. </p>
