You can’t even watch a movie now in which they don’t insert a strong female who is saving people’s lives and also whooping 350 pound men handedly with swift moves

Oh i see you’re looking for a strong female. I gotcha

That's always been the case.

Y'all really think it was a coincidence that damn year all bad guys in the 80s and 90s were Russians and Arabs lmao of course Hollywood has always been driven by profit and propaganda. Wasn't Birth of a Nation the first blockbuster?

He’s right.

We may love some of the “art” that gets to shine through but the vast majority of films in Hollywood are made for the two purposes he highlighted. Just look at all these sequels being made in 2024 for more “profit” :


Joker 2
• Dune 2
• Smile 2
• Sonic 3
• Venom 3
• Terrifier 3
• Gladiator 2
• Bad Boys 4
• Deadpool 3
• Inside Out 2
• Beetlejuice 2
• Paddington 3
• Ghostbusters 4
• Despicable Me 4
• Kung Fu Panda 4
• Beverly Hills Cop 4

Outside of Dune 2 and a potential Dune 3 which are being adapted from the original source material, we don’t need any of these. But studios know they’ll make millions of dollars off these IPs

I'm sorry but again, Cube is the wrong messenger for this.

Dude is still rapping about hitting licks and ducking his PO. All over that Mount Westmore shyt. Which was never his life. Even more so at 54.

Given this interview and his complaints about the music industry to Bill Maher....you'd think he'd be rapping like Mos Def or something. Yet he's still putting out gangsta rap.

Sonic 3 is a must. They have to expand the story.

You nikkas are so judgmental. He was asked a direct question of how some of these movies get greenlit and get past the execs. He responded with his answer explaining that Hollywood has two agendas which are propaganda and profit, and movie green lights are influenced by both. Ice Cube can rap about what the fukk he wants to rap about. Yall nikkas be having the most nerve

Many people do believe it's purely coincidence but...
