Cube is one of our Greatest MCs to ever do it, his voice will be heard through the Halls of Hip Hop 4ever

[@charliecheetah4654]

Cube is a LEGEND. An icon. Been in the game for like 30 years. No drama, no court documents, just making money. Kids movies like Are We There Yet, , comedies like Friday, hood classics like Boyz-N-The Hood, etc. A member of arguably the greatest Hip Hop Group of All time, and now the Big3. I went to a few Big3 games at The Barclays and it was wild. Mahmoud Abdul Rauf, at 53 years old, is getting buckets in the Big3. Cuttino Mobley, Nate Robinson, etc. If you haven’t gone to a Big3 game you need to ASAP. Cube is a 🐐. Give that many his flowers NOW
