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

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.

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

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 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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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....

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

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.

Don't also forget that ice cube is also went to college and is an ARCHITECT...

John Singleton Seemed Like A Good Guy

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

Cube is a legend

I grew up on cube, loved when he left nwa, with that being said it was ironic and awesome when my daughter fell in love with him thru are we there yet and i had the amazing convo teaching her the origins of Ice Cube mr burn Hollywood burn!!! It was dope to share my favorite storyteller wit my daughter as he and ice T became her fave actors. Watching svu we went thru the same shyt. Def amazing to share different levels of hiphop culture with ya kids.

The goat man. Exact what he sayin done been through it from are we there yet, are we done yet, barbershop, friday, barbershop 2 and all his music man one of the goats man.

It’s awesome to see people are reluctant to change like I am but push through it and better themselves. I’m just now getting to the point to where I don’t have to be pushed into change.

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🎉

I can definitely see why Cube has been married to his wife for decades. He's a really good guy! "Bye Felicia!"

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

GENIUS!!!!!!!

never knew that about dj pooh. i might have to go spotify over this one

Love this

If you’re an English teacher and your students come up to you and ask “why do we have to learn this?” Point to guys like Ice Cube as a success story.

“Are We There Yet?” Was a classic movie for my generation! My grandmother took me to see “Are We Done Yet?” As well!

dope to see cube give dj pooh his props .. he is so very underrated

Haiti Here. Yoo. I grew up on NWA and to truly understand this 7min clip, gotta know it was GODz plan with IceCube. Amazing interview. Merci

my ma was an extra in Boyz in the hood driving scene .. much love ice 🧊

lol that’s exactly what happened to me. I am 23, I started with AWTY then I discovered Today was a Good day, then I discovered NWA😂

Love Ice Cube PERIOD!

He's a business man!

I remember having a bootleg DVD of Are We There Yet? and My God that was one of my favorite movies 😂. The Satchel Paige talking bobblehead was so damn dumb but funny too 💀

First album I ever bought on vinyl when I was 11 was straight out of Compton. Oh, I'm from London lol

I was in ‘91 so my very 1st film was Friday the very year it came out… I was 4. He right, we were young in the 90s knew every word and growing up on that made me go backwards in time to find NWA stuff (a little before my birth). Now I have a 12 yr old that know knows who he is back to beginning and she discovered that with “Fist Fight” 😭

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.

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

I was the kid that loved Are we there yet ! What a time !

1995 my best bros family broke apart. I'd go there before school. Soon as you hit the porch all you could here was music blasting. I remember it because "eff the police" on 11 deep in Appalachia is hard to suppress. The early 90s was a Renaissance.

is it wrong that one of the first times i watched Friday I was in elementary school 😂😂

Are we there yet is so good me and my siblings would watch it weekly

It’s funny seeing Cube smiling

I discovered cube when I was 5 first time seen friday😂 now I’m 26 discovered boyz n the hood when I was 7 than N.W.A than are we there yet

To be honest I loved are we there yet. Think that’s an underrated movie but great storyline ❤️

And i got to grow up.with him through it all

Ice Cube might have the best resume theatrically of all time. No misses, wrote, produced and starred?? Name some others like that I wanna know!

Dope he considered the kids 😅 🫡 number 2 of AWTY was dope too never did nun corny lol big salute to cube keep speaking truth as well🗣️

Living legend

Cube a genius.

Luved Cube since 88 just a Ultra Talented Man 6:15

Are we there yet? is my favorite movie ❤❤❤❤

Plus Cube did a movie in the triple X franchise

Friday talked about weed before I started smoking. People tend to forget.

All I know is that NWA changed the World overnight. This guy is so charismatic and talented.

The people hating because he doesn't act like a ganster all the time, are just fuckin idiots. Plenty of yall work jobs you don't even like, I like my job and sometimes I hate it to. Pretty sure it'd be more fun to make millions of dollars to be in afew kids movies. Money is the motivation because it opens up new doors.
