The man who was once a part of a hip hop group that was ruthless, very honest and to be considered “the world’s most dangerous”, Ice Cube is one cold mutha that brought the heat with his highly conscious music and bold raps of what it’s like to be a Black man here in America. When he left NWA, there was friction between him and the group but with drama comes with great music and Cube definitely brought out some hard bangers. More than a month ago, I finally got the chance to actually listen to his albums from start to finish and I was completely blown away with how dope his music is, not that I wasn’t expecting it to be but, the production, the attitude, the topics, it was all dope. I personally enjoy his music a lot more than NWA’s. Especially his first albums “Amerikkka’s Most Wanted”, “Death Certificate” and “The Predator.” All three albums were a reflection of the Ice Cube that was unapologetically truthful and harsh but he was real. Songs about certain topics that made your mouth drop and laugh like “Yoooo, did he really say that? Did he actually make a song about that?” After the third album, Ice Cube’s music is not exactly the same but he still had some bangers and he was now appearing on the big screen in movies. His character as “Doughboy” in 1991’s “Boyz N The Hood” was the perfect role for him. He was also in “CB4”, “Higher Learning”, and nothing like the classic “Friday” series. Such a classic and hilarious movies. The Ice Cube nowadays is a lot more laid back but don’t sleep on him. He’ll still bite back if he has to and he just recently got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, such a huge accomplishment for the West Coast hip hop legend. Yay Yaaayyyy!
