People usually mellow out as they age, and gear their concerns towards family and a comfortable existence. If heaven forbid something would have happened to Ice Cube during the height of his militancy phase, we would probably never have predicted that he would have become the next Bill Cosby.

As far as C. Tucker goes, she may have had good intentions, but her methods were just as foul as the problem she claimed to want to tackle. Trying to attack gangster rap for the ills of the black community is a self serving strategy that is simply following the dollar, and not the problem. Its like if the farm that mcdonalds gets their chicken from became contaminated, and instead of going to the source of the problem and containing and eliminating it, you simply go to the mcdonalds ad agency dept and demand to take it over so that they dont advertise mcnuggets anymore, and kids wont buy em.
