Westside Connection may be making a comeback, minus Mack 10.

Sources inside Ice Cube's camp told BallerStatus.com that the veteran rapper and several others were recently on a conference call talking about plans for his upcoming album, Raw Footage. During the call, Cube revealed that he wants to begin working on a new Westside Connection album hiw new solo project runs its course ... and he plans to replace Mack 10 with The Game.

On Cube's upcoming album, there's a track called "Get Use To It" featuring both The Game and WC. It may be a taste of what's to come.

Westside Connection -- Ice Cube, Mack 10 and WC -- only released two albums, 1996's Bow Down and 2003's Terrorist Threats.

Shortly after their last album, the group went on an indefinite hiatus. Mack 10 left, and it was rumored that his departure was a result of a personal conflict between him and Ice Cube.

There's no immediate word as to when this possible Westside Connection album will come to fruition, but in the meantime, fans can get their fill of Cube and The Game via their new solo albums.

Cube's Raw Footage is slated for release August 19th, while The Game's upcoming third album, LAX, hits stores August 26.

it's about fuckin time cube.....Mack 10 is a fool for fuckin up the original westside connection and Game is 10 times better anyway. Mack 10 should stick to his lame appearances in Cash Money videos. All you fags hatin on the Game or Cube can eat a dick.

Anyone know what happened between Mack & Cube? Last I heard, Mack was mad because Cube did not tour for the Terrorist Threat album. I would prefer to see Mack instead of Game(no disrespect to Game). It's like that GB album with Big Mike taking Willie D's spot. Yeah mike is nicer that Willie, but it is a sound that they have together.

If Game joins the group, i guarantee that Mack 10 will send a indirect diss in his direction. Terrorist Threats was weak and uninspirational. Bow Down had a purpose, a drive, a meaning. They tried to recreate that vibe on Terrorist Threats and it fell way off the mark. I know that im going to start a fire with this but, im not too sure if joining the group will help Game's career. It might backfire. I think the fans associate The Game with being a solo combatant. The format has always been Crip, Blood, and Cube. I know Cube wanna fill that Blood spot and thats understandable. On paper it'a good fill in, business wise im not so sure.
