Cube went from the hood, to fame as a writer and rapper for NWA, had the smarts to know he had to go solo, wrote his own movie, acted in tons of films, broke into the metal genre, back to hip hop, and now has founded his own basketball league... Amazing work ethics and talent

[@Angel-dk7dd]

Metal genre swear!?

[@gerbermack]

Ice Cube didn't do Metal. He had a song deaturing Korn, but that's it, I believe. Ice-T, though, fronted the band Body Count.

[@randlemarsh]

Privileged black kids do rap and make it. Micheal Irvin just had to put his son in his place. It's the privileged ones trying to fit in and change the culture for money.

[@MouseCIick]

This is whats wrong with Hollywood and the media. They want you to think he is from the hood. He is just as white as MJ.

[@l.r9655]

NY rappers always had more push from mainstream media ,radio and major labels but the L.A rappers had access to Hollywood.

[@tylerstickle2957]

The fact that i literally grew up watching are we there yet at a young age then friday and barbershop around 11-12 and then watched Straight Outta Compton in highschool. This man was genius now that he explained it all out like this 🔥🔥

[@Lowzaracing]

yep same timeline but i found out about his music at around 9-10

[@pandavelli8176]

Ice Cube is an American icon. Nothin but love for him.

[@Eighty7AT6]

He's loved down here in new Zealand and Australia.. true icon

[@stephenhickman9502]

Bottom line. This man figured out how to keep money 💰 coming in from all directions. Talented, versatile, with a strong work ethic. Cube is a strong role model for generations coming up to learn from.

[@xouleposxoulepos4506]

the guy raps about violent shit, then became a Disney type tough guy,Now it takes him 7 minutes to make a 15 second point.What exactly must I imitate?

[@stephenhickman9502]

@xouleposxoulepos4506 you do you. My point is versatility. If gangster rap didn't make money back then, he WOULDN'T have done it. Any man smart enough to diversify his talent and move between niches and make money from it in all categories is a perfect example of what CAN be done in this country. I'm not a fan of violent rap either. But I am smart enough to know that these rappers did it because of business profits. None of them actually live life according to their lyrics. They live in gated communities and their kids go to great schools. And before you go off on (THEY INFLUENCE VIOLENCE IN THE INNER-CITY) Just stop. It's not the artists fault that moms and dads don't do their jobs raising their children. Point is, anybody can take his blueprint for success and apply it anywhere. In engineering, electrical, law, technology, sports, like Bo Jackson did. Don't be hatter.

Ice cube was never gangsta. He only acted all his life!

[@MandosCulture]

the exact path he describes, was how I grew up on Ice Cube. My dad loved NWA and I heard them growing up, but I saw Are We There Yet and became a fan as a kid, crazy

[@nobody-ly9ef]

The world wouldn't be the same if "Friday" had never existed.

[@ihateintroductions5808]

I was born in 1995. My Ice Cube vortex is that I saw Boyz in the Hood first, Player's Club, Friday, Barbershop, Are We There Yet, his feature on music🎶 "Real N**ga Roll Call"🎵, and that's when I dived into his music. Then started watching a bunch of interviews he did in the 80s and 90s. It went full circle, like a vortex.

[@No-yv5ix]

I was born in 1979. Being a child of the 80s, and a teenager of the 90s. Perfect timing Mom.

[@MikeLaRock88]

​@@No-yv5ixYou lucky sob. I was born 88 and wish I was a late 70s baby. I loved growing up in the 90s, but you had 2 of the best decades to grow up in before hell broke loose in America

[@TheVicV]

I love that Cube made a point to highlight DJ Pooh and give him his flowers… DJ Pooh is a west coast hip hop producer legend and his career accolades don’t get recognized enough.

[@daviddibble2744]

Cube is just a smart guy. He’s got a good head on his shoulders. He’s kind and hard. He’s passion and excitement. His music is always 💪

[@mothernaturesapothecary]

I love Ice Cube. He is such a shining example of how to be a decent human being and a smart artist❤

[@Sicarius13]

Hard ass worker too. How was he not stressed, 1990 he did his first solo album… 1991 he did Boyz N The Hood, he had the “Kill at Will” EP AND his son was born. Then 1992 he starred in “Trespass” AND released his album “Death Certificate” THENNNN IN 1993 he RELEASED his next album “The Predator” HOW THE HELL DID HE NOT GET STRESSED OUT

[@kylesmith5392]

I'm 32, I absolutely love boyz n the hood. I remember watching it for the first time when I was 7.

[@marklewen9384]

I saw boys in the hood the 1st night it came out in the theatres ONLY because we went to see TERMINATOR 2 and it was sold out. Got really lucky as it turned out..

[@planetmediaskateboarding]

Seeing ice cube in that life jacket for the first time in the commercials was a cultural shift

[@derekedge2089]

All Cube needs to do now is a Country album and he's hitting literally all audiences 😂

[@John-kk8gi]

He has the voice

[@JenAmazed42]

I'd listen. He could totally compete with Kenny Rogers on that sexy growl voice

[@bb-double-yuh]

It'd be hilarious if he made a country album but with his regular lyrics about hood violence and corruption.

[@Xzzz73]

And gospel!!

[@jesusmelendez9815]

Thats exactly how i was introduced to ice cube, with are we there yet, im 28 years old now. Because of that i hear all his music being older i can undertand everything better, to watching straight out of compton high as hell. The dudes a legend

[@vincecommando7575]

Ice Cube stays true to himself and wants everyone to enjoy his music and movies. All while being a cool guy who can be just badass as hell.

[@jae6106]

5:11 ice cube literally explained how I found out about him perfectly 😭 born in 03 watched “are we there yet” then I watched Friday a lil bit later then I started messing with his music.

[@gerbermack]

I vividly remember being at the record store in 1990. On the wall, I saw the poster for Ice Cube's first solo record, Amerikkka's Most Wanted. I remember looking at his scowling face and thinking, "That guy's an angry scary dude." Flash forward to his family comedy film "Are We There Yet." ha. Amazing.

[@bjrntheliar5457]

I love Icecube, he's been a huge impact on my life, plus he is one of the best rappers out there still.

[@VinsPol247]

In the late 80's my friends and I used to go to the local head shop in San Bernardino county California to get the latest Metallica album. Which was the only place you could get underground music at that time. So one day we were looking for our speed metal bands cassette tape, and right next to Metallica was a new stack of cassette tapes that had "NWA" printed on the front. So we bought it. Four white guys from the Inland Empire drove around all day listening to Ice Cube saying the most craziest shit we had ever heard with Dr Dre's original beats and sound effects....we loved it! Still love it to this day. So original and out of pocket at that time. Ice Cube was a trail blazer. And now is a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. Very smart guy....

[@bobbyknoxjr.4387]

Friday came out when I was 10. We had it on VHS

[@TenaciousGrumpy]

I was a kid when I first saw Ice Cube on "Are We There Yet". After that I heard his music and I was hooked till this day🎉

[@itscholobish64]

People look at me sideways when I tell them cube is my favorite rapper of all time I've listened since the NWA days two of my favorites is "today was a good day" followed by "no Vaseline" and the Friday movies I watch all the time timeless classics

[@coltonestes3972]

Haven’t watched the full pod yet, but god I hope they talk about him doing stuff in Rock and with Korn. That’s what got me hooked on Cube. My dad was a huge Korn fan and he’d play Children of the Korn and then that’s what got him hooked on Cube and then Are We Done Yet comes out when I’m 5 and I got sucked in that vortex he talked about. I’m a white kid from Ohio and know nothing about Compton but I love everything about Cube and what he came from and everything. Listening to old NWA to No Vaseline, to Boyz, Friday, Korn, Dr. Frankenstein, Are We There Yet, and so on just makes Cube one of my favorite artists in the world for anything he does. I listen to him so much and I don’t have to come from where he came from to live him and I think that’s so cool. Joe’s pretty cool too lmao

Cube is one person in Hollywood I respect, he doesn't bow to all the woke BS, he knows the truth and refuses to back down from it. I just pray that he is saved and gives God all the glory.

[@fizwiz81]

Love his perspective. Interesting that his view is that he wanted to invite a larger audience in and he felt like he should provide something for his younger fans, it wasn’t that he wanted more money. It worked out cause he wound up making a path for kids to slowly become fans. I like how he doesn’t seem concerned with market size or earnings on the movies he just wanted to give something to the kids

Now I have a 12 yr old that know knows who he is back to beginning and she discovered that with “Fist Fight” 😭

[@n8zdagreat]

People have to realise Ice Cube is a business man not a gangster like he projected in NWA, so acting would be natural for him, hes a storyteller or studio gangster

[@k90dude94]

And you have to wash your ears, maybe then you will hear better.... He never said that he was a gangbanger, but some kind of ghetto reporter.... Of course, there are lines where they exaggerate, that's what every rapper does..... But always this studio gangster bullshit gets boring, he's a legend and not a gangster... You see what happened to wannabe gangsters like 2pac (rip) Who desperately wanted to be tough and dangerous

[@n8zdagreat]

He ALWAYS said he was a gangster but then stopped when he couldn't back it up, now hes a ghetto reporter, he just plays whatever character is "in" at the time, he was Nation Of Islam once but then dropped out, he steals other groups ideas ie Cypress Hill, list goes on, he just an actor perfect for Hollywood@@k90dude94
