Biography
After a long hiatus the group released their second album
Terrorist Threats
in 2003, hallmarked by the lead single "
Gangsta Nation" featuring
Nate Dogg.
In 2005
Mack 10 left the group due to a conflict between him and Ice Cube.
[1]
In 2008, rumors have been circulating that
The Game may join to replace Mack 10. This gossip stemmed from his verse on Ice Cube's track with WC called "Get Used To It" where Game proclaims he may join the Lench Mob (implying the Westside Connection). While Game has denied his membership, recently Cube gave some credence to the idea in an interview. When asked about The Game joining, he nodded and said "maybe". But neither of the parties confirmed.
