It really is crazy how Ice Cube was able to crossover

[dora_da_destroyer]

i know this gotta be a thread rehash, so up a previous conversation...but I stumbled across some bootleg local cable music channel and they're playing all his singles in chronological order. True to Tha Game just went off...dude was anti-cac, now he's in shyt like 21 jump street....I'm sure someone is gonna say something about Jews/fakkitry,/apologies etc, but maybe he was just so unapologetically him that they just had to salute his g

Him and Cee-lo pre-women drugging both amaze me how they crossed over

Cee-lo is another good one, but he didnt exist to them before gnarls Barkley, they knew cube

timing...he crossed over when the game went a different direction and didn't give a f*ck about pro-black rappers.

i think it was timing....cube stop rapping about race towards the early 2000s and got into movies and a whole new generation got to see him before as an actor only...then social media came and ppl embraced him was a blockbuster actor and his past just got erased......its funny because the young generation dont understand how much cube was feared...he had america shook in the early 90s....

I dont think its crazy at all and he was only anti cac on record cuz it was popular at the time in rap...he was working with Muggs and had the chili peppers in his videos during that time period...He was successful but cube to me was always less than genuine.

 

[phatphuck]

regardless, im glad to see him eatin good now, he deserves it

 

[Miggs]

What was really crazy was pac was on the verge of crossing over before he died...Now that would have been crazy to see .

ahh man yeah well basically cube had white america shook.....not only was he a angry young black man into street life but he had a militant twist....where he was talking about killing cacs and jews....and he influenced alotta other anry young black men....and that was the time when crack had murder rates sky high everywhere....like if u thing chiraq is bad now, it was a playground compared to the chiraq of the 80s and 90s


anyway





NWA had white america shook...its normal now too see guns in videos but this was brand new...and cacs were @ the thought of an uprising
