Somebody made this post years ago about how Cube basically switches his brand every couple years to maintain his relevance. I wish I could find it because as much as I hate to say it, that post is aging like wine.

  • 85-88 (A nikka with an attitude)
  • 89-91 (Pro black fist in the air Bomb Squad dikkrider)
  • 92-94 (G Funk bandwagon seat sniffer)
  • 95-97 (Hooride Mack 10 pom pom nut buffer)
  • 98-00 (Corny ass "East/West beef resolver" dikk goobler)
  • 01-05 (???)
  • 06-08 ("Tired of young rappers" bitter rapper dikkridder)
  • 09-18 (Social conscious dollars because all my project failing rapper)
  • 19-present (professional c00n grifter)
Cube been a cap steppah:camby:

So he's fine being sued for encouraging criminal and terroristic behavior in the 90s?:jbhmm:

He's still right, but its hard to tell which audience he's trying to appease here..

Ironically, C. Delores Tucker told him this in the 1980's. I think that he rebuked her in a rap.
Maturity and Disney movies is a lethal combination.

Yeah, they can safely speak out now after becoming multi millionaires and billionaires from selling toxic Black dysfunction for decades to the whole world. :comeon:

The late Rev. Calvin Butts was right.

As young fans of the music, we didnt see it. But decades later, EVERYBODY sees that he was right. Even Ice T would probably admit that on camera .

I literally made these points a while back on here and dudes jumped down my throat.


Pure dysfunction peddled to our community so that a few Black men could become rich and famous and record labels could make multi-billions.

Dudes take it personal if you speak the truth about how this shyt has affected the community.

Lmao at all the hiphop artists who got rich living amongst whites and putting their kids in gated communities and white schools and PWIs. It is hilarious.

Yall’s elders were right. Now here we are, decades later.

Future was rapping about lean even though he admitted he stopped it years back because of its detrimental effects, etc.

Kid Cudi noooooow swinging back to tell kids to stay away from drugs after he’s pretty much exited the most influential phase of his career. How many kids did he influence ten+ years ago tho when he was out his mind???!

This is the shyt that’s been sold to Black youth and it started decades ago.

Ice Cube admitting what was known yeeeeeears ago.



Again, here we are.

Ice Cube of all people would strangle anyone that dared question the messages they were putting out to vulnerable and impressionable youth..he fought against criticism of his destructive money making venture for decades and shut down any suggestions hiphop was leading kids astray.
He'd pull out the same bullshyt excuse that rap is just reporting on the happenings of the hood.

Rappers encourage criminal activity.

Rap is just an art form.


Always nebulous dialogue to distract from actual human behavior

The primary consumer of rap music is white kids. The crime rate and drug usage dropped during the entire period that hip hop rose to prominence in the mid to late 90s and into the 2000s. I don’t post in here but anyone mentioning music as any of the top 20 reasons for anything negative happening in a community is uninformed or lazy at best and disingenuous at worst.

This topic is dumb because no one is changing their minds and it’s just a conduit to restate the same things you’ve already said before despite having no new evidence to support. Meanwhile Ice Cube is MAGA adjacent and anti-vax so he’s not exactly someone who traffics in facts.

If you dumb enough to be a domestic terrorist to your own community, then you deserve the white man's jail cell..

You gotta be a dumb muthafukka to watch/listen to anything negative and then decide, "Hey that's cool, and that's what I should be doing".

This means that we are pretty much children and we have immaturity issues. I don't blame violent games, music or tv/cinema...I blame the stupid MUTHAfukkAS and the women who love bad boys who are encouraging this behavior.

I stick with drill as I dont think that shyt should've ever started. But I remember when mass/school shooters came about and how people didnt want their manifestos/content to be exposed in the media in fear of copycats yet nobody ever uses the same logic here where it makes sense to keep it underground to prevent copycats of king von, foolio, lil Jeff.
