Rapper Ice Cube has welcomed plans laid out by retiring hip-hop star Scarface to create a new supergroup with himself and Nas. The Houston, Texas star recently revealed he would be quitting rap after the release of his next album Emeritus, and he'd only consider a return to the studio if Ice Cube and Nas were to join him.

And the former N.W.A. star admits he'd be willing to give the rap supergroup idea a go.

He tells AllHipHop.com, "I wouldn't even think twice about doing that— hell yeah! I think the album would be crazy, lyrics would be sick, and hip-hop would love it. It's just making that business happen, that's the part that gets funky. I ain't never turned down these kind of projects, they just don't happen for whatever reasons. But I'm up for some s--t like this because I know we can make a dope record."
