Dude didn't sellout,he got on that muslim shyt like a bunch of nikkas do bcuz they like what it stands for on certain principles but don't like to follow it.....nikkas only point out Cube for bein lax in his following of the muslim religion....but say nuthing about rappers who claim to love god and thank him in speeches,when they run around doing nuthing but sin and embarrass they pastors.


But its that way in general in the black community,black folks always lookin for a reason to call they family member who has become a muslim fake or a fraud....they just be waitin behind a tree or a door to catch him eatin a bbq pork sandwhich....but say nuthin about the fake christians that fill they family tree......I think its more to do with the fact black folks believe in god so fiercly but don't wanna obey the rules.....strying to downplay symbody else religion on sum "see u eatin bacon,allah can't be real" is like our own ignorant way of trying to get that person to come back to god bcuz we don't want them to go to hell,its the least we can do:manny:might get us sum points with god:lolbron:....whatever it is for sum reason muslims are held to higher standards in the black community

when you make hardcore songs(street,militant,gangsta,etc), and is well known for that, its hard to take said persons music serious after they start making light, kind hearted movies...thats just reality.

That's what's wrong with nikkas. They don't wanna see the nikka next to them grow.

:what:

in real life, cube wasn't even a street nikka, so the shyt he rapped about was pretty much like the movies to him, cuz he didn't live it he witnessed it from his folks pad and created a image..

snoop,pac,easy e,quik,mc eiht,spice 1,etc..all them old school nikkas got at least some type of "hood" credentials..cube kept respected nikkas around him, but i neva heard nuthin about him thou

:rudy: I know that "i don't bang i rock the good rhymes"
that still has nothing to do with people not being able to separate his acting roles from his real life self and his music. he wasnt affiliated but he wasnt soft neither

Only ones that think Cube is a sell out are the ones that will be 40 years old hanging out with teens rocking skinny jeans, still living with their moms, smoking week and drinking 40's in shyt... Cube grew up!

But to be fair, what the old Ice Cube considered selling out was going pop, being mainstream and all that shyt. So in Old Ice Cube terms, he did.

This is more accurate. You cant call MC Hammer a sellout because he made pop music, and then years later make "we be clubbin", and label yourself Don Mega. The Cube of the early 90s, and the Cube of the late 90s is almost a completely different person and artist.

To a certain extent you guys are right in that his personal beliefs did evolve, as his anti-white posture was influenced heavily by his infatuation with the Nation of Islam. I think he started to lose interest in Muhammed's teaching at some point, but he clearly downplayed the religious aspect for mainstream acceptance when he started westside connection. Thats selling out 101. Trading beliefs for cash.

The selling out stuff has more to do with his shift in hip hop content, than his acting career.
