In November 1998, Cube released his long-awaited fifth solo album, "War & Peace Vol. 1 (The War Disc)". The delayed sixth album, "Volume 2", arrived in 2000. These albums feature the Westside Connection and a reunion with his old N.W.A members Dr. Dre and MC Ren. Cube also received a return favor from Korn, as they appeared on his song "Fuck Dying" from "Vol. 1". Many fans maintained that these two albums, especially the second, were lesser in quality to his earlier work. In 2000, Cube also joined Dr. Dre, Eminem & Snoop Dogg for the Up in Smoke Tour.
