Ice Cube’s Interview w/ ‘HUSTLER’ Magazine

 

 

Since leaving the seminal gangsta rap group N.W.A. (short for Niggaz With Attitude) in 1989, Ice Cube can do no wrong. Starting with AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, his solo albums have gone platinum, and Boyz N the Hood opened the door to prominent film roles in Anaconda, Three Kings, Friday and xXx: State of the Union. Now the heavy hitter in music and cinema does HUSTLER right by speaking his mind.

HUSTLER: What do you remember about your N.W.A. days?

ICE CUBE: My best memory was that we were doing something constructive. You know what I mean? There were so many things to get into that weren’t constructive. I felt good that I was doing something that was not only fun, but also being a part of hip-hop and being respected. Even before N.W.A. it was about finding something to do. Because I grew up in an area [of South Central Los Angeles] where we used to have after-school programs. We used to have Little League. But as soon as I came of age, all those things started leaving the community. We were still into football and basketball, but the parks were closing, and things started to dwindle.

We were looking for more things to get into. You could either get into good shit or get into bad shit. Hip-hop was good even though adults didn’t like it. It had a good energy. With N.W.A., I was around people that were making records. We had a style that we knew people in our neighborhood liked, but didn’t know people would like around the world. So being West Coast rappers, we went for it! I still haven’t come down off that cloud which has carried me on this journey. I’m still riding that same wave that started when I was 17 years old.

When you hear tracks from back in the day, do you recognize that younger version of yourself? Yeah, totally. I listen to those old tracks, not often, but every now and then. My kids are getting into that kind of stuff now. I’m the same guy I hear on those cuts. Just a very young version of me. At 17 or 18 years old you only know 17 or 18 years’ worth of shit. You know what I mean? Twenty years later you know more.

You’ve collaborated with Dr. Dre, but do you keep in touch with the other N.W.A. guys? I talk to MC Ren and Yella. Every now and then we get on the phone and try to make things happen. Ren sent me some beats for my new album. Yella is thinking about putting a channel on the Internet network I got called UVN-TV [UVNTV.com]. You know, we keep in contact. We might do some business together in the future.

What was the groupie scene back then? The groupie situation don’t change. (Laughs.) They always the same. You got a group that people like, the women gonna be around. Period. I don’t know if that will ever stop.

As a family man, how do you deal with groupies now? I don’t give a fuck about groupies no more! Them days is over. I’ve been in the game over 20 years, man. The whole scene is played out.

Why do you think white suburban kids love hip-hop? It’s the voice of the youth, and I think that’s the draw. It’s the voice for a kid who might not be able to sing or might not be able to play an instrument. Hip-hop gives them a chance to be a part of music. Rap gives them a chance to express themselves. That is the ingredient that brings all these different cultures together.

Are they drawn to the graphic lyrics? The youth having a chance to express themselves in the most real and uncensored way possible is the key. When it comes to getting on TV or being in magazines—except HUSTLER, you can be yourself in HUSTLER—most of the world they want to suppress reality if it crosses a certain social line. It’s all expression and how people feel. Profanity. Sex.

How did you make the initial transition into acting? I wasn’t even thinking about acting. That was the furthest thing from my mind. I had just left N.W.A. and was trying to get respect as a solo artist. I was just focused on trying to be the best MC in the world. I met John Singleton, who directed Boyz N the Hood, when he was just an intern at The Arsenio Hall
Show. I was backstage, and he recognized me from being in N.W.A. I didn’t have a recognizable face at the time, so I knew he had done his homework. He told me he was at USC film school and had a movie I would be perfect for. I was like, “Yeah, right. Sure kid.”

Two years later here he come with a script asking me to try it. He had me audition. I was terrible because I hadn’t ever read the script. He had me come in again. When I read the script and found out it was about how we grew up, I said, man, I can do this. It’s easy. I like the filmmaking process. I like creating on that level. Once I got into it, I never got out.

Why do you think so many of your hip hop contemporaries—such as Ice-T and Queen Latifah—got into acting? I think if you got the charisma, you should go for it. It’s not like brain surgery. Anybody who has it can do it. You could. It’s not the hardest thing in the world. You just got to have something that the camera likes or loves. Musicians before us have done it. You go to Frank Sinatra and Elvis [Presley] and on. People like your music and your personality, they might want to see you on the big screen.

What films are you most proud of? Boyz N the Hood because it was my first film. Friday because it’s the first one that I wrote and produced. Those two are closest to me. Three Kings I’m proud of because it kind of took me to another level. xXx I’m proud of—xXx: State of the Union (laughs ), not to be confused with the Vin Diesel xXx movie. That one also took me to another level as far as an actor and people accepting me as more than just a one-dimensional actor.

What was working on Three Kings like? We worked outside of Phoenix in a place called Casa Grande, Arizona.Working out there with George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Spike Jonze and director David O. Russell was fun. I think we made an interesting movie. In shooting the movie, I was very confused by how out of order we shot it. Sometimes I would ask, “Are we making a serious movie, or are we making a comedy?” There were all these comedic things happening in a serious frame. But when it all came together, it worked.

Any films you regret doing? I mean, I don’t think I should have done Ghosts of Mars. I don’t like that movie. I’m a big fan of John Carpenter. The only reason I did it was because John Carpenter directed it, but they really didn’t have the money to pull the special effects off. It was a movie that should have been done in 1979.

Ever turned down a role you should have taken? I was offered Menace II Society, but I turned it down because I had just done Boyz N the Hood. I didn’t want to get stuck playing just characters from the hood.

As your acting career thrives, have you ever considered dropping Ice Cube and using your real name? Nah, because that’s mine. Ice Cube is for the public. You know what I mean? My real name is my real name, and that’s for me. I don’t want to give that.

Have you ever thought about leaving music behind? Nah, music is my heart. First I did it from the heart. I didn’t know I was going to make a quarter at it. I became rich and famous off the music. Now I can really do it again back from the heart because I don’t have to sweat about the game the music business plays. I can just worry about Ice Cube fans that are down with the stuff that I do—give it to them and be happy with whatever I get back from that.

The movies have provided me with a cushion. It makes me a better artist because I’m not worrying about the things that most big artists are worrying about, which is making money back for the people that invested in it. I put out my own records with my own money.

Having appeared in mainstream family movies, how do you maintain street cred as a rapper? Because in a movie I’m just an actor. In real life I’m me. People think if you do a certain type of movie that you’re a certain type of person. People think: “Oh, [because] you did a family-friendly movie or comedy like Barbershop, you can’t be hard.” That ain’t got nothing to do with me. That is a character I’m playing. To me hip-hop is reality.

A lot of people go to movies for a lot of different reasons. Poor people go to the movies to escape the shit they are going through. Why give it back to them when they get there? If I’m spending a hundred dollars or whatever it cost for me to take my family out, why would I go see the same shit that I can see in my neighborhood? I’m gonna go see something that pulls me away for a few hours. That’s why people enjoy the movies, because it takes them away.

What’s your beef with Oprah? I ain’t got no beef with Oprah! She got the beef with me.

What’s that about? She never told me. Maybe she’ll tell you. (Laughs.) You need to get at her. It’s just like she ain’t fucking with me.That’s cool. I ain’t fucking with her neither.That’s her problem, and the world may never know. (Laughs.)

Can we play with your Yo-Yo? Yeah, go on, take her! Shit! Do what you want with her. (Laughs.) Just send me 20 percent. (Laughs.)

As one of rap’s originators, do you get the respect you feel you deserve? If you are talking about the people whose opinions I care about, then yeah, I get all the respect in the world. Fans, people in the industry, people that are into the culture? No problem. People that are into how many times are your videos being played and how many magazines are you in? Probably not.

 

Are you impressed by any new MCs? I like what Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco are doing and where they are taking hip-hop. Those are good styles that are making hip-hop grow. It’s not dying as people say just because the mainstream is not paying attention anymore. It’s just back to where it came from—underground. In the ’90s, mainstream took hip-hop and tried to play it out. Rap is something that can’t die because it’s the voice of the youth. There is always something to be said by somebody somewhere, and there’s so many ways to say it now.

The Name Battle Continues: Freeway Ricky Ross Vs William Roberts…

 

 

It appears that the fight over the name Rick Ross is far from over as the “Real” Rick Ross is not laying down and letting the rapper steal his name.

The former drug dealer’s camp released the following statement:

Ding,ding ding!!!!!

Hip-Hop fans its ‘back for round three. Freeway Ricky Ross is back at it again, but with added force to his legal team. As of November 29 Freeway Ricky Ross and his legal team has been concentrating on clearing up the error of miscarrying justice.  Many fans and viewers are under the impression that Freeway Ricky Ross, has lost the case of trademarking his name.

To set the record straight and clear the air Freeway Ricky Ross will hold a live Ustream broadcast from his social networking website www.freewayenterprise.com and will take live calls or questions from only personnel that are currently members of his website. This broadcasting will take place 2 December Thursday at 6pm Pacific time.

During this live broadcast he will discuss more details regarding to why the first dismissal took place and why the Judge only talked about his former pass on being a drug trafficker as if he didn’t have a life before his conviction.This certainly not the case, as The Real Ricky Ross will let you know.

Donnell Ross, better known as “Freeway” Ricky Ross, is one of those rare figures whose experience as a drug trafficker has lead him to a life of rebuilding the community in which he once helped destroy. Now, with a passion for helping the youth, Ross has been given a second chance to uplift his community by giving back through mentoring and sharing his story. He plans to inspire many of today’s youths to achieve their greatest successes without following in his footsteps.

To the contrary many fans believe, the rapper William Roberts is aimed at destroying the new life that ” The Real Rick Ross” is trying to re-build through rapping and promoting his past. While The Real Rick Ross was incarcerated he reached out the rapper William Roberts as a symbolism of love in an effort to maybe show some love even after stealing the his name, persona and former lifestyle. Real Rick Ross stated to William Roberts ” you are a talented artist that makes marketable music why not use your own name” As The R To the present date he has yet to even show some type of gratitude to the man that he considers himself to be.

We have come to know this as “SWAG-JACKIN'” , at least that is what is it coined in the hip-hop community. To set the record straight ” The Real Ricky Ross” is not looking for free-bees or a hand out. Everything that he gets, he rightfully earns- legally.

Here is what the Judge did not hear:

A lot of the projects that Rick is focusing on is charity  work ,but he believes the rewards  of success are far greater than any monetary value he could ever receive. He has  successfully started Freeway Enterprises, which has several different entities including a record label. The Real Rick Ross understands that the hip hop community has a strong voice, and he is making major strides in his area. However, to everyone’s dismay, there has been no acknowledgment or offer to help developed artist by the rapper; William Roberts who stated out of his own mouth that he would be there to help The Real Rick in any way that he could.

The rapper William Roberts only only raps about his perception of what a drug dealer is. He glorifies a past that the Real Rick Ross is trying to steer away from.This praising of the Real Rick Ross past is tainting the positive movement he is now empowering.

It is clear that the rapper William Roberts is only concerned about Rick’s past crime life, not the bright future that lies ahead. I guess that he feels only violence and crime sells records. The Real Rick Ross begs to differ. Many fans wants answers why haven’t the rapper not reached out and donated a small monetary amount of time and money to any of the local Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, HIP -HOP Detox, or the Nation of Islam where Rick dedicates his time to?

If this is a showmanship of gratitude, I would hate to see an act of ungratefulness. The rapper William Roberts better get his stamina together, because The Real Rick Ross and his legal team are not giving up without a fight. If the rapper William Roberts has done his homework, he is sure to find that The Real Ricky Ross is a true BOSS and definitely is not one to quit in a battle. His fans are firm believers that The REAL RICKY ROSS has five stones left to throw, Stay tuned in for the latest and check out his social network www.freewayenterprise.com and www.freewayrick.com.

Nas Names “Hip-Hop’s Best Lyricists” For Rolling Stone Magazine!

 

 

Veteran emcee Nas has been tapped by Rolling Stone Magazine to provides his list of “Hip-Hop’s Best Lyricists.” as a part of the feature series themed around artists and their playlist.

In the feature, 50 different artists select a themed list and provide their picks for the overall for that particular list.

Although being cited as stating that Hip-Hop was dead, Nas breaks down for fans what he truly meant by the statement and how he feels about music now.

“When I said ‘hip-hop is dead’ a few years ago, I felt we’d gotten away from the great wordplay and storytelling,” Nas said in the interview. “There’s a place for the party sh*t and a place for the gangster sh*t. I focus on the guys that are always pushing themselves forward.”

Among those selected for the series are Cee-Lo with a selection of the best of the Dirty South, Drake provides a Jimi Hendrix list and ?uestlove with a Prince list.

 

Check out Nas’s picks below including his own personal reason for picking one of Lil Wayne’s hits.

 

1. “My Downfall” – Notorious B.I.G., 1997

The lyrics are about how he’s acing the shadows of death, despite all of his success, and he’s giving it to you in a way that makes it seem so real.

 

2. “If My Homie Calls” – 2pac, 1991

He’s just saying to his boys that he’s going to be a friend no matter how big he gets.

 

3. “Road To The Riches” – Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo, 1989

The way we’re rhyming now? He was already doing it then .

 

4. “A Bird In The Hand” – Ice Cube, 1991

5. “Paid In Full” – Eric B. & Rakim, 1987

6. “I’m Single” – Lil Wayne, 2010

I’m recently divorced, so I feel what he’s saying.

 

7. “Tears of Joy” – Rick Ross, 2010

Ross is at the pulpit here.

 

8. “The Moment I Feared” – Slick Rick, 1988

It’s cinematic. He’s at a hip-hop show and ices this girl who played him, then he’s in prison getting violated by some dude. This was unheard of.

 

9. “Empire State of Mind” – Jay-Z, 2009

This song is huge. It sounds like Broadway. It’s New York’s modern anthem.

 

10. “Queen B*tch” – Lil’ Kim, 1996

At the time, females rappers didn’t appeal to the street, but Kim came with the vulgarity, sexuality and gangster sh*t.
